I can definetly help you out with this!

I had been on Atkins for 10 weeks without being able to exercise due to a car accident. When my doctor gave me the green light for exercise as tolerated I was thrilled figuring I was going to melt away as soon as I started exercising. Instead I gained 10 pounds in 3 days! I was like.. What the? I wanted to just give up and shut the whole thing down but I stuck with it as others here told me it was probably water weight.

I read an article about the best way to get rid of water retention is to drink more water. UGH! Sometimes I drink so much it makes me sick but I increased my intake anyway.

Guess What? Within 2 weeks all that weight came back off and I am wearing a pair of jeans I havent worn in a year and a half. Dont give up! I beg you to stick with it and you are going to get the body you want!

I do faithfully plug my menu for the day into fitday as I did find I occasionally was eating too many calories or not enough calories but too many carbs. It takes away any doubts that I may not have made good choices for the day. It is a life saver.
