Hello to everyone! I am new to this message board but not new to Atkins. I successfully lost 115 lbs 2 yrs ago, but I had surgery to have excess skin removed about 1 1/2 yrs ago, and I have never been the same since. I went into surgery weighing 164 and came out weighing 172! they said it was the fluid they pumped into me and it would go away, not to worry. So I waited,
I got a lot of pressure from everyone around me that I was to thin, and I still wanted to lose 25 lbs- I was 157 lbs, but I know now thinking back, I had no more weight to lose, I was down to the bone for my age and frame, but I needed to eat "normal" 1800 Calorie diet. I caved to the pressure because I knew what worked for me but I didn't listen to me I listened to them. I know,My Bad, so after a year of YO-YO dieting, and then not dieting then No Carbs, then carbs, My metabolisim is shot! I started induction on Tues of this week, and I hoped for the same results I had when I started it 2 yrs ago, but I have gained 3 lbs! Granted it is my time of the month, but come on! I think I am going crazy! I am 44 yrs old and it gets more difficult as time goes on to lose, and so easy to gain, I don't know what I am doing wrong, becasue it is exactly what i did before. I know this is long and I might not even be writing this in the correct section of this board, but this is what I have been eating and then I will close:
Breakfast:
7 oz of tuna with mayo- not miracle whip
Lunch
2 small hamburger patties with 1 slice american cheese
1 cup french sliced green beans
Dinner
Steak- about 7 oz
Salad with green peppers and shredded chedder cheese
Low carb yogurt ( 4 net carbs)
Lots of water
2 cups coffee in the morning with splenda ( no cream)
Sugar free jello
I appreciate any help
Thank you
Patty

What I believe is that you gained water weight from too much sodium. If you enter your menu on Fitday (
but for me the European RDA works fine, while the American RDA does not. You will have to try and see which is ok for you.
