Default Re: not losing weight please help!

I agree with the notion that you are actually THREE weeks in instead of two...and what a nice loss you had for your first two weeks! I experienced the PISS....it does pass, but you have to give it time and not give in. Actually...I've learned I am probably going to gain/maintain for 2 weeks every month...since that's been my pattern so far. But the ongoing trend is downward.

What are you doing for exercise while dealing with your hip issues? I have limited mobility from the waist down, so I know it can be challenging to find something that works!

Stretch Goal: 140


Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.
