Need Help!!!

[iontheprize]

I was on atkins before in Grade 11 and dropped from 320 to 215 in 6 months. I am on Atkins again. I started again 3 weeks ago at 266, I am not down to 249. Keeps fluctuating between 249-251. My ketostix are staying in between moderate and high levels. I was drinking a lot of diet pop and Crystal Light but then thought it might be the aspertame. Have not had any for approx a week, no change. I am getting discouraged but sticking with it. I have amped workouts to 2-3 times a week, walking when possible, and working out at home. Drinking approx 2 LT of water a day. Started drinking koolaid with splenda (0 Carbs). My menu consists of:

Breakfast- Eggs (cut out ketchup) w/ a few slices of bacon
Lunch- Green peppers and mushrooms with cream cheese
Dinner- Chicken Caesar Salad.

I noticed that I have been eating quite a bit of cheese, so that's the only thing I can think of. Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. I am losing inches like crazy, wearing clothes I haven't worn in years.

Thanks,

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan. Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal. If you can’t find a copy of the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) locally check online at www.half.com or www.amazon.com. Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables. (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html.

A few more tips to help get you started: Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot. Also, start a journal, it's a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people there! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/

Read the ingredients in everything you put into your mouth - check for ingredients that aren't allowed on induction and also for hidden sugars that may slow your weight loss down. To make sure you don’t become bored by eating the same thing over and over look at these wonderful recipe sites – we have such great choices for menu ideas, eat a variety of things:
