I am kinda still doing Atkins, Not totally by the book. I cheat a little. I was just so disgusted with the effort I put in to it. And didnt get much results.
I know 6 kids, you would think I would be thin as a rail. I am still not eating any starches ( bread, rice , potatoes, etc.... But my weight has not changed. I weigh 174 and I am 5' 2". I am going for surgery the end of September ( a complete hysterectomy) I don't know what I am doing wrong. I do have the new Atkins book. I don't really eat much. Any help or support is greatly appreciated. I am willing to be very commited.
Thank you,

...Great! Then you are off to a good start - you have the right tools - the book and this board. Now, of course, it's generally best to start any task by reading the directions first, then starting with step 1, and following directions exactly. This applies to most jobs, to get them done with the least amount of effort and greatest amount of success for the amount of effort you apply.
Imagine the effort it would take to empty a bucket of water with a spoon. Without the right spoon and/or method used it could take a LOT more effort, and results (if they were achieved) might take aeons longer to get than would the right way (assume the instructions say use large spoon, right side up, fill, don't turn it over until carried away from bucket, empty, repeat versus a tiny spoon, used properly halfway and only sometimes followed through with...)
Now, how does a typical day's food and beverage consumption look for you? In the beginning, you want to get into ketosis....
