Hi Akasha, glad to have you with us. You're not late, today (Sunday) is the first day, so you are right on time. Your gain is probably due to the large amount of salt from the Chinese food and should go back down rather quickly once your body gets back on track. I am a little concerned about the low # of carbs you are trying to stick with, Atkin's induction level is 20 carbs, so you may want to increase your carb count to that or your body may go into starvation mode and make it difficult for you to lose.

Good luck this week and remember to be nice to yourself.

Mims
