I'm right there with you. It has been exactly one week now and nothing. The sticks show that I'm in the middle of ketosis - and it seems like maybe I've lost a pound - but I'm not sure because my scale today showed three different weights (all around my starting weight).

I understand how completely and utterly frustrating it is - BUT - I know I refuse to give up. I feel great and this plan is SO much easier than having to count calories and worry about counting fat too.

Also - I know that today TOM is here for me - so I can guarantee that's why my scale isn't showing anything.

I exercised sunday, monday, wednesday & thursday (about 20 minutes each) - but next week I am committing myself (even with TOM...) to do 4 x at 30 minutes (at least)...

But even though I know I haven't ever done atkins before, I know I'm NOT giving up. 1 week is NOT enough time to give it to really see any change. I know I see other's who've lost 10 - 15 pounds in 1 week and then there ARE others who've only lost 2 pounds.

I refuse to give up mainly because I'm thrilled that I'm getting all this sugar and junk out of my body!!!
