Okay, I'm really gonna need a pep talk from those who know their Atkins....
I've lost 10 lbs on atkins....need to lose 10 more, 15 ideally... have followed the plan faithfully, have remained on induction for four weeks instead of two, have varied my foods, cut out caffeine, avoid aspertame like the plague, only use splenda or nothing at all...drinking lots of water, using the lipo styx to make sure I'm still waaaay in ketosis, and regardless, I'm stuck. I've been stuck for two, going on three weeks. Cannot budge past the 139 mark.
I don't know what to do next. In the meantime my husband is melting away and looks and feels fabulous. I feel really good, and I look okay, but I am getting frustrated and it's hard to stay motivated. If he weren't so supportive I would've given up.
But we've both decided that Atkins just makes sense for us healthwise, and so we'll be staying low carb. On the other hand, boy I wish I knew why I am having so little success when everyone else seems to be cruising along.
HELP!
Sue
