Hello everyone! I am back after a 3 month hiatus for personal reasons, it certainly was not because I wanted to stop dieting. I actually did good - I maintained the entire time which tells me this is definitely a final battle for me. Last time I did Atkins I lost almost 100 pounds and when I went off I gained back 40 pounds in about 3 months. So I was actually pleased to weigh in and see that.
Getting down to business. It will be 2 weeks back on Saturday. First week I lost 6 pounds. Although I thought I would lose more, I was still pleased. I am not using the scale as a crutch, but, I had a 1/2 cup of beanless chili last night and hopped on the scale this AM. No weight loss this week (yet). Part of the problem I think may be my plumbing. So I bought flaxseed to put in my salads. It looks like tiny sunflower kernels. When I read the back of the bag at home, it is stating to get the best effect I need to grind it, like in a coffee bean grinder. I don't have one of those! Is it truly necessary to grind??? If so, any suggestions???
Another problem I am having is no appetite. I know this is from ketosis, and I am drinking between 112-144 ounces of water per day with no problem, but I literally was gagging trying to eat my tuna and cheese roll up. So I swtiched to some celery and onion dip to only make it through 2 small pieces. I just don't understand the part of being put off by food. Anyone else?
Wow, if I were to have a slice of pizza it would make me very hungry for more - it is so amazing how this works!
Thanks so much for reading!

i keep hearing people talk about that. although i'm not as hungry as i normally am, i can still eat. i could easily stuff myself as much as i used to if i let myself.
