Talking Success!

I posted not long ago about my weight loss stall. I checked and rechecked EVERYthing I'd been eating. Then I decided maybe because I don't have a lot left to lose maybe I wasn't eating ENOUGH carbs. So I went from 20 to 25 and moved to rung 1. Still nada weight loss. This week I decided to add rung 2 & 3 along with 5more carbs (total 30). My other thought was that I'm not getting enough variety. And since I had been following the old book the first week which allowed both nutz and all cheeses, I knew I could still lose weight with them.

And tada! Today I weighed and I'm down to 138! *iz estatic* I haven't broke the 40s in two years! Yay for Atkins!

That's great! Yeah, this is sometimes trial and error to figure out what our bodies want. The key is to stick with the program and not get discouraged.
