Unfortunately, atenolog is one that Dr A lists as a weight blocker. BUT I took it and lost 30 pounds.
For some of us, there comes a point when we just stop losing and it is so frustrating, so we quit. Just ask 2big about her stall saga and what she went thru. But eventually, the weight started to come off again and wala, she is now at goal. I can weeks without losing and then drop 10 pounds.
Measure yourself this time, and when those mini stalls happen, watch the inches fall.

does it matter if the medication slows the shedding of Fat if you are getting healthier every day? Isn't that your goal to get healthier and smaller so you and DH can grow old together?

changing which one the first the secone right at 200 fricking pounds for 8 weeks the 13 week 6 day one where I fired whooshie fairy for failure to perform her duties and audidtioned replacements on ADBB. word to the wise don't hire Brook's slug fairy

I wouldn't worry about the effect the meds will have because Atkins isn't a diet anyway. Its a permanent lifestyle. There is no picking it up, doing it for a short time to lose 25 pounds and then going back to eating carbage again.

Take your meds and be patient and give your body plenty of time to absorb changes. Be patient and
keep going.

Listen to 2Big. Don't focus on weight loss. Focus on regaining your health and making Atkins your WOE for life.
