Purple Ketos No Weight Loss/Atkins Bio

[queenbuzz]

My keto sticks are turning purple everyday and I'm sticking to the diet and working out very hard. So why isn't the scale budging? It's so frustrating. I haven't lost weight in about a month. The numbers have just gone up and down slightly each week like 223, 223, 224, 225, 223, 224. AGGGHHHHH!!!!! I even stayed on track through my birthday, anniversary and the loss of my best friend. Even when I went camping this weekend I took supplies based on advice from this site.

Also, just an FYI I found an Atkins biography at the dollar store and read it this weekend. Interesting stuff. I'm considering maybe going on old style Atkins for a week to see if I can jump start. Last week I got up everyday at 5 am and went swimming, rode my bike, and walked 3 miles a day. Saturday I hiked 7 miles and Sunday 5 miles. I just couldn't believe the scale on Monday.

GRRRRRRR!!!!

How frusterating!!!!!!

Make sure you measure though. With as much as you're working out, you could very well be replacing fat with muscle - - which is why the scale is going all cooky because muscle weighs more than fat.

How are your clothes fitting??? 2 thumbs up for staying on track through EVERYTHING!!!

I agree with MissNiki, have you lost inches? Dr. Atkins wrote that the loss of inches was a better indicator of fat loss than the loss of pounds. See, if you lose a pound of fat, but gain a pound of muscle, that scale won't move in any direction. Likewise if you lose a pound of fat, but retain 2 pounds of water, then the scale will say you gained a pound.

Also, post your menues in the "Review My Menu Forum", include the amounts of what you eat and drink.

OMG....Velcrocat...when I read your post it made me do a double take!! It's really bizarre, but my best friend who passed away recently always used that as a username!!!! It's good to have encouragement from a Velcrocat!!!

Also, in the biography, Atkins says he was against the shakes and stuff. He saw it as trading one processed thing for another!

The book says he was, but if they work for you that's great! I've just noticed that the shakes and bars stall my weight loss (220 this morning...)
