Dear All

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?

Thanks in advance...

Oh - I did see some tablets in Boots (major UK 'drug store') that claimed

to
help for those that have reached a plateau - they are quite expensive -

any
good?
