    Re: No weight Loss!

    Hello there NikkiAtkins and welcome to the board. Congrats on your 6/7 lbs loss so far... that's really terrific!
    Don't worry about the pause in losses. It happens, and frequently after the first losses. We don't lose in a regular way (more's the pity) and there are many, many reasons for pauses. Just keep on track and I'm sure you'll start losing again soon. If you don't, then after a while you could post a menu in the Review my Menu forum to see if anything needs tweaking.

    Here's a link that might reassure you:

    Hang in there!

      Yes, welcome. I have been on Atkins for some time now, and after a big loss of 9 pounds in a week, I have lost nothing for about 7 weeks now. So much of it depends on how much you actually have to loose, and you didnt mention that. Also, you arent actually "stalled" until there is over 4 weeks of no weight loss or inch loss. Some people loose inches not pounds, etc. So, to put a ribbon around it, I guess I am saying dont worry about it and relax, it will come.

      Good luck. Sam

          It does. We call them "stalls"... but you are not stalled. Your body is just resetting.

          Atkins isn't a miracle that removes all weight as quickly as we want it to... it is a plan to get and be healthy for life....

          Good luck and best wishes to you, but please don't thing that you have found a 2 week miracle.... it takes perseverance and determination.
