Well I didn't do so well this week. Today was my weigh-in day. I didn't gain, but I didn't lose either. I knew I wouldn't because I fell off the wagon both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we had 2 birthday parties, which made it especially rough for me, and on Sunday I went to the movies and out to dinner with my husband. So anyways, I should not have splurged/binged, but I am back and ready to commit. Hope everyone else is doing okay today.

Hello Megan! You're going to do just fine! The most important thing for you to remember during these times is the thing that I also need to keep in mind... a set back doesn't mean that you've failed and are doomed to reverse all of the way back to your original destination! Keep plodding on!

I'm also frustrated with my dieting right now. I've been binge-free since Jan. 6, and have stayed basically OP with Atkins through that time. I had a tremendous weight loss during the first 2 weeks, but have stalled out since then. I know that it's only been 10 days without any weight loss to encourage me, and that I should just ignore the scale and continue to press on with the diet. Still, it's harder to do that when it doesn't seem to be netting any benefits! GRRR....

I'm trying to keep looking ahead and forget those pesky little voices that are saying that I should cheat... after all why should I suffer if it's not working? I know that's just my frustration speaking and I'm trying my best to ignore it.

Talk to you all later!

Barb

Barb, head over to the atkins thread and ask for help....we'd be more than happy to help you figure out why you have stalled out already.

I had a good week, no bingeing, and Im down 9lbs. 7 full days of controlled eating.....Im aiming for another 7.

Yeah Ladies! Way to go with your successes!

I'm at 25 days binge free!

Thanks for your help Robin! I've been searching the LC archives and have found some information about why I might have stalled out and feel much better about it now.

I made it last week! I have no idea if I lost anything, since I've decided to take things one month at a time. So I'll get my Feb 1 weight in a few days and then check in with the scale again at the beginning of March. Anything over 5 lbs would be great, but I'll be happy if I can go the entire 30 days without losing control. But so far, so good!

Phoenix Song, I was an on-and-off Atkins girl for the past few years, and from everything I've read (book and on-line), I think that a post-Induction stall is normal. Your body might just be adjusting to the initial loss. If you ride it out without letting it get you down, then the scale will probably start moving again soon. Good luck!

1 month no serious binging. Monday and today I had 4 small meals throughout th day. Sunday I was slightly naughty (2nd helping of dinner) but I made the second portion smaller than the 1st so not too bad.

26 days binge free!

And it's been 13 days since my stall began. *sigh* I'll keep trying to wait it out! It's so tough to do the things that you're supposed to do without even cheating a bit and STILL find yourself not seeing any results!

Hope that you all have great days!

I am checking in. I'm still determined but not doing so well. I had a binge yesterday and Monday, as well as last weekend. I had a really bad week at work and resorted to bingeing. I feel bad about it. Today I am back on plan. I think I can salvage this week if I just stay in control the rest of the week. Good luck everyone.
