Hi all! I thought I'd drop in and give a little background on myself...
First off, I have been on Atkins before...with great results. I was not overweight, but had a little pudge that I wanted to be rid of. Because I was at a normal weight range...no diet I tried worked. Atkins was different, though. Induction helped take off that 10 pounds of pudge I was dying to lose.
However, about a year after I got those great results...I became pregnant with my first child, my DS Nathan! Needless to say...I gained about 30 pounds during the pregnancy. Because I breastfed my son for his first year...I didn't lose any of the baby weight. It has stuck with me and is haunting me to this day. My DS is 13 months and not breastfeeding anymore...so I have decided that it is time to get rid of this nasty weight.
That leads me to now...
I am 145 and am looking to lose the 30 lbs and then some. All together, I'd like to lose 40 lbs...to take me down to 105. I am 5ft 1...so this is a reasonable weight for me. I have been on induction for 5 days now...and have only lost 3 lbs. I am sorely disappointed! Last time I lost atleast 5 lbs by day 5.
I eat significantly less than the 20 grams per day....so I don't see where I'm making an error. I could really use some encouragement and support to keep going on this diet.
