I'm pretty sure that I'm a woosher now. First time around with Atkins I lost pretty steadily (it was only a year ago) but this time I tend to gain 3 and then lose 5. I think it definitely has to do with the fact that I'm exercising a whole lot more this time around. I finally broke through the little 5 pound fluctuation that I was going though and had losses for 2 days in a row (yes, I weigh myself every day, its good motivation for me). Its good timing, too. TOM is just around the corner and I never lose through that week. It would have been frustrating to have another week of fluctuation.

I know the tape measure can be a more accurate representation of actual fat loss, but there's always that seed of doubt in my mind when I don't see any changes on the scale. I start to worry that I'm doing something wrong when I start seeing gains. I guess that is just the nature of the beast this time around. I know better than to quit at this point. Atkins is the only thing that works for me, so even if I don't lose, its better than gaining.
