Welcome back!

Congrats on the weight loss! I'd advise some more green veggies; watch out for the salt ... it can cause bloat.

Hang in there and check in here often!

Welcome back! Four pounds in 5 days is great!!!

Do add in your salad veggies from the allowed foods list. You are supposed to have 3 cups a day of the allowed salads, or two cups of salad and one cup from the "other vegetables" list.

And be SURE you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. It's essential to lose the weight.

Sounds like you are off to a great start!

Glad you joined us!

Just wanted to add my welcome to the others! Nice to have you with us.
I'll echo the advice you've been given already... more veggies and careful with the salt.

Congrats on your good start!
Happy losing!

Hi, Ashley

I noticed that this is your second thread in the Spotlight Forum. Perhaps if you posted in the Induction Forum, or the Review My Menu Forum with your questions, you would get a wider range of responses. This forum is used primarily for Introductions.

Here is a link with a lot of good information, including some links to some popular places on the board. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-new-read.html (If you are NEW, READ THIS!)

I'm not sure what "a lot" means for you, but broccoli is on the "Other Vegetables" list, so it is limited to 1 cup per day. Peppers are part of the "Salad Vegetables", so you can have 2-3 cups per day, depending on how much broccoli you are eating. Your veggies should add up to 3 cups.

You might be frustrated, but I am confused. You've lost 4 lbs in 5 days. I'm not sure what you are expecting, but that's not slow! And if you are eating right and exercising (congrats for running daily!), there is little else you can do anyway.
