my hubby joined me

[jengeesh]

I've been on atkins almost 3 months now and 1 week ago my hubby got on board to . I'm pretty excited for him. ONE WEEK he's down 13 pounds!. I lost 12 during my 2 week induction. I've been in a real slump "but overall still happy with this woe". I've lost 25-26 pound i've not lost anything in nearly 3 weeks now "nope not even inches". 25-26 sounds okay for 3 months but most all of that was the 1st 9 weeks. Couple questions is that normal? i'm doing everything the same i've not gained any but getting a tad down about no loss for so long. I've stalled before for a week but then had a drop of 3 pounds the next week. This stall has been long! and i don't feel the energy i did at first. I'm checking that i'm not eating any hiden carbs or sugar still working out i'm just stuck bad at 214 also TMI but i have PCOS at 1st stkins was giving me 28 day cycles "1st time in my life i had 28 day cycles!" now my TOM is late. I know i'm not pregnant i have a 5 month old and hubby and i are both fixed. My hormones have been crazy since the baby was born.

Re: my hubby joined me

That is good news about your husband joining you and congratulations on your success. After seeing me stay committed and losing 80 lbs since August, my wife started on Atkins a little over a week ago as well. I am really excited for her and am trying to encourage her as well. It does make it easier for me with her doing it as well.

Good luck to both of you and continued success!

Re: my hubby joined me

My husband started with me and he lost 20 pounds in the blink of an eye.
I'm just loosing 19 now. So it's been a long drawn out thing for me too.
I went to a stall I thought I'd never get out of. Probably a month.
then all of a sudden 8 pounds dropped. very strange how that happens.
I'm not giving up. Went to a Wedding Reception and never had one piece of cake.
so I'm proud of myself but I can say that I've noticed when my calories are below 1500 for the day is when I loose even tho I'm an active person.
Today I had 1800 calories with 34 carb grams and the weight loss will still be slow but I'm pressing on! I've noticed that my body shape is very different. I'm loosing fat in places that on weight watchers it never came off due to the carbohydrates.
This diet is really wonderful. I feel great, lower blood pressure and my face is looking younger. I'm happy and appreciate this way of eating.
