Oh Please Tell Me the Stall is over!

[BjornFeuer]

After my big cheat it took me two days to get back to 290 and I've been hanging there for almost two weeks!
I exercise every day, drink 120 or more ounces a day, and strictly count my carbs.

Today I was finally 288, a two pound drop overnight... is this a sign of things to overcome? Is there anything I can do to assure that I won't see those two pounds again?

Do you want the truth? The truth is the only thing you can do is not cheat again, stick to this WOL for life and closely monitor your food, water and exercise. I had one cheat meal on Easter and I can't even tell you how many weeks I paid for that! I was up 9 or 10 pounds a few days after. I don't have any magic cheat cheats for you. I don't think they exist or none of us would be on Atkins! Good luck!

Congrats on your loss, Bjorn!

It could be that your body was adjusting to your new way of eating and now it is ready to go on losing weight. At least, I hope that's the case. Good luck to you!

Bjorn -- be patient .... the weight will start coming off again -- I'd say you are having an adjustment after your cheat. We all have to learn the hard way that cheating doesn't pay and it's hard to come back from. Next time you think about it you'll reach for something legal instead!!

You're doing real well so far - just have some patience.
