This is so cool

Okay so I have been on atkins since April 1st. I am 21 years old and 5'3, I started at 143.6 and hated my weight. I thought thta I was SO fat. So I decided that I needed to go back on atkins, I had once gone on atkins about 1 1/2 ago and I lost 25 lbs. I gained all of my weight to due the depo shot which is birth control. I weighed 125-130 all my life, and just couldnt get back down. So anyways, I have been at 143 for the last 1 1/2 and I needed to do something about it. So I started atkins again. And to my suprise I got on the scale today and I weigh 135.8. That is so amazing, you know the last time that I weighed 135.8 I cant even tell you, I know that it was sometimes in high school like right when I started birth contro. And I am 21 and havent been in high scool for years. So I only have 10.8 lbs to go, and I am so psyched. This is amazing, I was at a stall for like 2 weeks but started strict induction again, and have lost another pound, since I started induction over. This is so great. My only question is that, I know that I dont have as much weight to lose as a lot of people on this board. But A couple of years ago when I was on atkins, my ketosis strips were the darkest purple, and this time since I have been on atkins I am SUPER lucky if my ketosis strips are even the lightest color. Whatsup with that????? That kinda worries me. Please help. Thanks for reading my post. I havent felt this good in like forever. I will see my finace in about 6 weeks, and boy will he get a suprise, last time I saw him was when I weighed 143 I am SSSSOOOOO excited.

way to go on the loss. As long as the strips are changing color then you are in ketosis. Many things can affect the color. Don't worry too much about it.
