I have lost about 16lbs on Atkins over 2.5 weeks - for the last 10 days
however I have lost nothing, my weight goes up and down by 1 or 2 lbs and
that's it! I don't cheat, I have been eating either fried sausages, Quorn
sausages, bacon or Atkins bar + Atkins shake (5 carb total) for breakfast -
salad and tuna/chicken with various Atkins friendly dressings for lunch &
meat/chicken/fish/Quorn with cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms etc for
dinner. My only indulgence is tea (2 or 3 cups a day, decaffeinated with
Splenda and a drop of semi skimmed milk).

I have gone from a tight 36" waist trousers (pants) to a comfortable 34"
waist - I just want to get rid of my fat belly and floppy man tits! Another
28lbs at least...

My diet hasn't changed but I have gone from losing about 1lb a day (up to
16lbs) then nothing for nearly 2 weeks!!!

What am I doing wrong? Or not doing right?


Normal. Normal, normal, normal.

Don't panic, you're okay.

The initial weight loss is a lot of water weight. Then most people hit a brief
stall, and resume losing after 2-3 weeks of nothing.

Are you exercising? If not, start.

And it doesn't hurt to eat more veggies.

You'll start losing again. Just stick with the program.

And don't take the bogus weight loss pills. If you don't start losing again in
another week or two, you'll get good advice here that's far better than any
pills.
