Not new to Atkins but back again

[mz_brat2u]

Hi everyone, I am not new to Atkins but here I am. And yes I know I don't have a lot of weight to lose but I cannot lose any weight on any diet but Atkins. I tend to hold lots of water and can fluctuate 3-4lbs each day. My doctor is rechecking my thyroid levels. He thinks perhaps my body is not converting the T4 into T3 as it should. I am on 200mcg of levothyroxine. I am off on vacation on Monday to the UK so will have to be especially vigilant on what I am putting in my mouth over there but hopefully when I get back I will have a weight loss to report. See you all soon

Good luck on your journey. Here are links that will help get you started. Make sure you are eating induction recipes only until you are ready to move onto OWL.
Exercise is not an option – it is mandatory ….. don’t say you can’t find a way and start today! Atkins bars and shakes are NOT acceptable during induction – they are made with non-induction ingredients and cause stalling in many people. Just remember - if it’s not on the acceptable food list – it doesn’t go in your mouth!

Thanks for the tips and links. I have read the Atkins back to front and back again many times.

my menu today
12oz of water
black coffee "can't and wont give up my coffee for anyone"
2 omega 3 organic eggs
with green pepper, yellow pepper and red peppers
1/2 link of homemade italian sausage
all made into a delicious omelette
12oz of water
1 cup of mixed salad greens
with balsamic dressing 1tsp

black angus burger
cheese
2cups of mixed salad greens
1 cup of brocolli
chopped egg
2tbsp of sliced mushroom
with light ranch
12oz of water

I drink water all day long in 12 oz bottles and also before bed and during the night if I wake up
and after I posted today my weight was 132.4
so I think I have the hang of it

Thanks for the encouragement and I will be vigilant on my vacation I want to meet my goal and feel better.

as far as exercise, I garden, I walk my dogs 2x aday and plan to start on my treadmill when I get back.
oops almost forgot I take a b complex, a multivitamin and mineral, calcium, vit D 1000u. and 500mg of vitamin c.
