Ok...i have been on atkins for a few months now, i am losing so slowly....if i am lucky, i might lose one pound a week. I had lost about 140 pounds
before starting atkins (low calorie, excercise). But i stalled, so i thought
if i do atkins, i would be 'shaking' things up a bit. The first 3 days of induction i lost 5 pounds, but since then, it has been slowww. I do not cheat, AT ALL, i drink LOTS of water, i still have my carbs at 14 to 18 a day. I watch my calorie intake also. It stays at about 1200 to 1300 calories daily. I now weigh 215, i am 5 foot 4 inches, and i am 38 years old. I go to curves gym 3 times a week, and walk about a mile twice a week. What am i doing wrong? I still have a lot of weight to lose. I want to try for 140 pounds right now, maybe lower. But the pounds are just being stubborn. I have thought about doing the meat and egg fast. I eat
a salad every day (2 cups lettuce, half cucumber, 1 wedge tomato) for my veggies. Then mainly i have two fried eggs for breakfast, 1 slice cheese, and a protein (sometimes sausage, or canadian bacon). With my salad at lunch i have chicken ( baked, wings or drumsticks). At dinner i have 2 more eggs (hard boiled or fried) 1 slice of cheese, and another protein, usually chicken breast. I would appreciate any advice and suggestions on what i need to do, or what i am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Pamela

...Was in HEAVEN -got to 150, for awhile, then got too busy, and gave in too much... and... OK holding pattern "keep it together..." 
. I used to lose 3 pounds a week. And i guess i am missing that, lol. But as time goes by, it is slowing down more and more. I see how a lot of people lose BIG on atkins, but i suppose i am not one of the 'lucky' ones. I know i will not give up or turn back no matter what....this is my new way of life. I eat to live, not live to eat anymore.
