For dinner tonight I made.....4 oz. steak
cauliflower mashers w/ 1/3 cup heavy cream
cheddar cheese
1 strip of bacon

I will continue on my wieght loss journey and again to all of you I appreciate your wisdom and welcoming wishes! You are all wonderful people!!!

That is why I am no longer a member of eDiets. They know less than nothing about Atkins. The supposed 'experts' would tell people on induction that it was okay to have a little cake or whatever at a party! That the diet was about moderation, not deprivation! They are big on pushing the Atkins low carb junk food, too.

Just go by the book and you will be fine! I'm glad you found a website that goes by Dr. Atkins plan that he spent 40 years perfecting.

Sunny!

Hiya Nursegal and welcome to the ADBB! We're really happy you joined our Atkins family here.

I'll ditto everything the others have said, but add that if you're losing inches, you should be fine. Often we lose inches before lbs. The scale catches up later (unless you're building muscle mass, which weighs heavier than fat, volume for volume). Muscle is good.
Inches are a far better indication of the body morphing than the scales.

Keep us posted. We're behind you all the way.
