Re: At a loss... very upset | | Congrats on the weight loss to date! I think you're doing awesome. Do you know how many folks would KILL to be able to lose 6 pound sin one week?? Heck...6 pounds in one MONTH. Okay, I'm not making light of how you feel my friend. I just think it's great to put things into perspective. A loss is a loss, no matter how small, you will always be smaller than you were before it so get happy about that. Your body is in control here, so no matter how hard you try to follow Atkins to the letter, you have to wait for your body to respond and I believe that it WILL respond in the way you want it as long as you keep the focus you have now. What are you doing for exercise? Cardio needs to become your best friend and try to up the ante a bit...can I see 4-5 days of exercise? I'm sorry...it's the PT in me but I can tell you first hand that the extra days should help get the scale moving. One last thing, are you taking progress pics? Get on that if you're not. Pictures tell the story when the scale and tape measure do not. Good luck to you!
