help please

I have been working out 5 times per week for the past 2 months and although i have lost 25 inches, i have only lost 10 lbs. Someone suggested it may be my menu - would someone please take a look? Thanks. I just started the berry rung and have had strawberries and cream the last 2 days.


I usually eat 2 eggs for breakfast - sometimes I add some red pepper or ham, and 1 -2 cups decaf with cream - occasionally I eat a flax muffin with butter, splenda and cinnamon

lunch is some protein - usually leftovers or canned salmon in a salad (romaine, peppers, tomatoes, cuke, olives, feta) with low carb dressing

dinner - protein (steak/ salmon/chicken thighs, breasts or wings) and/or ceasar salad and veggies (broccoli, green beans, peppers, mushrooms, celery...) I eat almost all veggies raw

snacks will be either a boiled egg, cheese, deli meat or celery with sugar free peanut butter

I drink way more than 8 glasses water

I pretty much eat this every day but I have been eating pumpkin and cream cheese the last few days as a treat (not on the days I had strawberries) - I also sometimes (once or twice a week) eat a popsicle made from crystal light

I became bored with fitday, so am not sure of my carb count but this is pretty much the menu I ate when I was losing last time - maybe I should go back to fitday to be sure

thanks for any feedback!

It is looking pretty good to me. I think that you are losing just fine. Perhaps you are a bit impatient but well we tend to be
I suggest running things through fitday for a few days to see if some bad habits have snuck in or you have allowed a carb creep. With your workout you should be eating calories enough to cover what you do.

You will get there.

I agree - you are doing excellently!

Losing inches is more important than losing pounds I feel - as they are a proof of you losing FAT!!!

Many Atkineers find they end up in smaller clothes sizes even if they are at a higher weight than the last time they wore those sizes!!

Thanks, maybe I am impatient.... aren't we all? I will just keep at it and wait and see!
