Hello everyone, just thought I'd check in. It's been a month since I started Atkins and am currently 16lbs. lighter. I wanted to share that just like many of us on the atkins approach I too have experienced what many have gone through, the stalls, the weight gain and so on
. I've never had to ask the questions because it seems like everyone had the same ones I had and were already asked and answered.
Well, on my first week I lost 6lbs.(great)
. But the second week nothing.(not so great)
. So I got on the sight and started reading for some understanding and some 
. I have to say that I found what I needed. I read about higher fat intake, so did that and that worked.(hurray). In another week I noticed that my weight loss was slowing down so I started exercising,(something that I was not doing) and lost 2lbs in one day(I weigh myself everyday, keeps me on track) and never thought that it was possible. I also have to admit that like others my water intake was a problem in the beginning because I never drunk water, I actually was gagging
, however, I now surpass my 8ounce glasses a day with no problem, another thing that i learned,(We need a lot of water). 
I've been going into past posts and read a lot of what our tenured professionals here have gone through and what advice they had for us and am amazed of the recipes and techniques that I have picked up(thanx)
.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone, and even though I did not post alot in this past month I have been reading the great questions being asked and the great answers being given. They have helped me in a great deal.
For those who are currently in stalls, hang on, ask the questions and really read the posts , they have great info. We are in this together and as the months pass We will find ourselves leaner and happier. Keep up the good work.
I'll check in again sometime in the end of May.
