Lauren,
I don't want to sound like I'm being hard on you, but I think you need some tough love. I've read a lot of your posts lately, and it seems like you're fishing for a reason to stop doing Atkins, or for some assurance that you're going to lose weight. If you do the program by the book and BE PATIENT, the weight will come off. As other posters have said countless times to you, you only have a little bit to lose so it will come off more slowly. I know it's frustrating to you because you want it to come off right away, but wouldn't you rather it come off and stay off?

If you really want to lose 8 pounds by June 20th (without crash dieting), just up your exercise, drink extra water, and make sure you aren't eating any foods that stall you. Although the first 14 days of Atkins induction may have felt like a "magic diet", you still need to work at it and can't expect the pounds to just drop off effortlessly forever.

Good Luck to you!

I just read your other post in the Induction forum. Sounds like you're on track. Keep doing what you're doing, don't worry about the scale, and let us know how skinny you are on June 20th! :ThumbsUp
