Me too
first off... I wanted to say... I love your screen name... got me humming the tune the "three blind mice"... don't mind me... have 4 kids... so my sence of humour has been effected... LOL
I have been on Atkins for 6 months... and have lost about 15 lbs... I do go up and down the same 2 lbs so some days... it's only 13... I lost this in the first month... then nothing... But I also spent most of my adult life doing yo-yo and starvation diets... so I think my poor motabolism.. is right confused... and it may take some time for my body to "trust" what I am doing... lots of days... I get angry and or depressed as to why it's not coming off... (the weight) but know... deep down... that it's a matter of time... and just hanging in there... you may also want to really keep track of what you are eating/drinking... maybe there is something in that... that is causeing a stall... I know if you keep a detailed journal... there are many that would help you look it over for some advice... Well... I do wish you much happiness and success... fellow turtle... Shell |
In my opinion you are not, but I'm not expert. The initial weight loss varies on so many things. I think if you can average 1 - 2 lbs a week loss you are doing great. A girlfriend and me started on the same day. She's lost 97 lbs and I've lost 6 lbs. UGH! I know it's normal to compare yourself. I do it all the time, but we are all different. So hang in there and if you quit losing hollar.
