lol damn straight! gosh, you're a smart one.

look- there are plenty of diets to help you safely, effectively and slowly lose weight. I've done them all. I'm sure we all have. And i'll bet a lot of the people on atkins do it partially for the quicker loss, especially at induction. but losing almost nothing the first two weeks coupled with this being the first time i'm doing this since i've been on thyroid meds, i have every right to be upset and frustrated. induction sucks, maybe not for everyone, but for someone who really starts to feel nauseated when they eat rich fatty foods (and don't tell me about vegetables because you have to eat the meats and cheeses too) it's miserable when day after day you do everything right and don't lose.
I have an event on the 23rd that I wanted to hopefully lose a good 10 pounds for (started on april 30th) and thought atkins was the best way. guess not.

and i'm allowed to stomp my foot wherever and whevever i want. no little brat from the internet is going to tell me that my frustration is unfounded and undeserving of a rant! your post was a bit arrogant. sorry but if you act like a brat i'm gonna call you a brat.

thanks to everyone else who chose NOT to be a brat.
