Hi, I'm Lori, new to this site but not to Atkins.....been struggling this time around since Feb. with only a 5 lb weight loss...my only guess is it's from depo provera. I was on atkins 10 yrs ago and lost 80 llbs while on depo...I can't understand why I'm having such a difficult time this time around. Anyway I'm glad to be here! Nice to meet you all..

Welcome to, in my opinion, the best Low Carb board on the 'net! It's notoriously hard the second (thrid, fourth, etc.) time around. Post your menus and let the experts and successful Atkineers look them over. You've done it before, do it again - and make it the last (and lasting) time.

Welcome to ADBB, Lori!

The foods in your menu look okay to me... but you didn't include quantities. Do you know approximately how many carbs do you eat every day? And what about fat/protein/carb percentages and calories? Do you get over half of your net carbs from vegetables?

It is expected to lose differently than you did years ago -- you are older, your metabolism has changed.

How much did you lose in the first two weeks?
