Hi, I just started Atkins a week ago and already hit a plateau. I started researching the diet on the internet and found this forum. I've been browsing the past couple of days and I have to say that the progress I have seen is extremely motivating.

A little more about me, I am 37 year old woman and a mother of 3. I just had my last one 5 months ago. I currently weigh 154 and I am 5'4", my goal is 120 since I have small bones. This is the first time I have ever had any difficulty loosing weight, I was stuck on 159 pounds for months even though I drastically changed my eating habits. It wasn't until I cut out the carbs that I finally started to loose weight as of last week and now I am 154.

I was so disappointed that my weight loss has stopped the past couple of days so I went on a carb binge yesterday and much to my surprise, I didn't gain a pound. First I ate some cheesecake, 2 servings, it tasted disgusting because I haven't eaten anything like that in months. Then I ate a handfull of Cheetos, those were a little more satisfying but I felt so sick after that. Sooooo then, I had to eat some 65% dark chocolate cocoa, NOW THAT tasted good and then I stopped. It wasn't a totall pig out session and the processed food just didn't taste good at all. But the chocolate hit the spot.

I started the diet over this morning and changed my veggies too because I think I was eating high carb veggies so I am sticking to only spinache, bok choy and some red cabbage but only to add into a soup with garlic.

I weighed 154 this morning and this afternoon I weighed 152.5 I like the second weight better but I heard the morning weight is the true weight. Does anyone else weigh various amounts during the day or should I stop looking at the scale because I've lost an inch and my pants are already fitting different.

I also work out one hour on the eliptical 5 days and week.

Ok, I'll pipe it now.
