Trying to lose 10-15 vanity pounds

[jaysonsmom]

Hi All,

I'm new to the boards, but not to atkins. I kinda did a mini intro on the Induction Forum...hope I won't be too repetative.

I'm a working mom who just turned 34, and I have 2 beautiful preschoolers. I packed on a ton of weight for each pregnancy, and took it off with Atkins. I'm 5'7", with an athletic build. When I'm working out 5-7 days a week, I have Jennifer Garner's lean and tone physique. When I'm too busy or not motivated to work out, I look like Catherin Zeta Jones post baby. So, all in all, I'm not too really overweight. I just want to go from 140 down to 127ish, and look like a **** for my cousin's wedding. The reason? I'm Asian-AMerican and hail from a family where nobody weighs more than 115lbs, and I always feel gigantic. In fact, at a recent family gathering, an aunt asked if I were pregnant again, because my pooch was at it's all time bloatest. That's what drew me back to Atkins...I want to look like Jennifer Garner all the time...I'm tired of being the BIG(GEST) girl in the family.

Anyhoo, I'm on the 9th day of induction, and no weight loss. please advise!

Hi jaysonsmom! Welcome to the board. Perhaps you could post a few days worth of menus in Review My Menu. Unless we can see what you're eating, it's hard to say why you haven't lost anything in induction. How long till your cousins wedding?

Hello and welcome Jaysonsmom! Glad you found us here.

Silly is right... we need to see a menu or two to understand more, but very often it's only a little thing that's blocking losses, so not hard to tweak.

Happy low carbing!
