Only one pound in four days....

[Bee123]

Needless to say I'm a little dissapointed. If I keep up this rate I'll never reach my goal. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and then has turned out better?

Any advice will help.

Yes other people have experienced this. Not me personally.

But we did have an administrator on this board who lost absolutely nothing in the first 2 weeks, but then eventually went on to hit goal.

It is possible, keep your faith and it will work.

ps. It might help if you posted a sample daily menu of yours so that we can see if you are eating something that you shouldnt be. You never know where hidden sugars could be lurking.

ahhh.. 4 days is nothing... I've gone 2 or 3 weeks and lost nothing, then BAM, 5 or more pounds gone forever.. Dont let that scale rule you...

If you're in Ketosis; If you're eating the right way; If you feel good then you're fine..

Are you on your first 14-days of induction Bee?

Dr Atkins suggested we dont weigh until the 14th day.

Yes it is abslolutly possible, but first check your menu, your water intake and your exercise.

Remember things like processed foods, bars , and shakes have caused many people on this board not to loose...

Water at least 64oz plus an additional 8 ounces for 25 pounds you have to lose I drink 160ounces a day and even more on days you exercise

20 net carbs and veggies are important- but measure everything.

I lost only 6 pounds in induction but I have lost 50 pounds since November

I am sure you will be successful as well!

If it makes you feel better, my husband was so upset now for 2 weeks, as it seemed everyday he was gaining, not losing. Not much gain mind you, but enough to bother him. This morning he got on the scale and was down to 213, 5 pounds less than monday! Lucky devil!

You have to drink water! You will lose more if you drink a lot. Chug that water down until you want to be sick then chug more!
Welll...don't make yourself sick...but you know what I mean!

Hey Saab! Go to a place like Target and get one of those 20 oz plastic picnic glasses. That way, it's easy to tell how much you have had to drink! I usually try to drink at least 3 glasses before lunch and then 2 more before I leave work. Yes, I spend the majority of the day in the potty, but it's worth it!! Good luck!

Lots of luck - I'm sure you'll do better and feel better with more water intake - but dont call yourself stupid - I'm sure those of us who are new to this and dont know all the rules are making an error or two here and there. All it takes is patience and asking a question or two!!

check out the FAQ on why you need water to lose weight and you will have no trouble guzzling all you need. Our own Bren busted her stall in 2003 just by upping her water intake!
