It will level out a little to a more normal loss of a couple of pounds a week, but it will keep going if you do, so keep at it! And welcome!

Congrats! That first week and a half is so great! Like Momtomany1 said, it will level off. You might feel a bit discouraged when that happens but stick with it. I'm so glad I did. I'm losing a lot slower now but I feel great and the inches are coming off too!

Keep up the good work!

That's so great. I'm starting Atkins again today. I haven't been on it for 3 years ... but I did lose 60 pounds and kept most of it off until I got pregnant again. I seem to gain 50 pounds when I'm pregnant.

What was your starting weight, if I may ask.

[Mom22anddetermined]

Yeah that was what had caused me to gain so much of my weight back too! Before i had my son i had went on Atkins and was able to wear size 5's, but now i have to work back again to get there! lol I will settle for a size 8, which im in 16's now so thats not too far! But good luck on your journey!

Hey mom22!

Congrats on the great work!! What have you been eating? I'm just curious because the last time I did Atkins my weight just melted off like yours and this time I'm struggling and have been eating the same things. Can you give me a sample day of your diet?

Thanks!!

Hey Jessie!
Actually, i try in the mornings to have one of my Low Carb Atkins Shakes if i am running really behind. If i am having a smooth morning i fix 2 scrambled eggs with 2 Tablespoons of half and half and beat them. Then i usually fix 3 slices of bacon either in the oven or broiler. for lunch i will take slices of pepper jack or cheddar cheese and roll them will acceptable meats in them along with celery slices and a touch of cream cheese. Dinner i usually make something like Sirloin Patties on the stove or grill, Broccoli, and a small side salad. There are so many different things that you can cook, you just have to sit down and take the time to think which is my problem lol! If you would like to talk or need to know anything else feel free to message me! =)

I am having the same probelm! Last time i did the atkins it worked great for me and this time i have been on it since monday the 22 also and the scale did not move at all!! I dont know whats going on! I have been following the rules too. Any help?

[Mom22anddetermined]

I recently bought a scale from walmart thats by Health-o-meter and it tells you your weight, Body Fat %, Water %, and BMI. Its really helpful because today when i weighed myself i didnt drop pounds but my body fat and BMI had decreased! I think that this scale is a good investment because you can see results that regular scales cant give you! i paid 49$ for it but its WORTH IT!

The first time you do atkins you get the best results, each time after it comes off slower. The first time i did atkins i lost 30 lbs in the first month, this time i lost 13.8.

I also have a health-o-meter scale, they are very accurate too, mine is the same as the doctors scale.
