Really really frustrated at the fact that the scale isn't moving at all. I know I shouldn't rely on it, but I'd really like to see some movement. On the off-chance it was nuts stalling me, I cut them out. Tried to cut down the amount of cheese in case that was part of it. Drank more water...I know a "stall" generally lasts weeks & this has only been a few days but still, frustrating as all hell, and definitely not "normal" for me. i was *below* 270 a couple of weeks ago before the husbeast led me on a weekend carbfest, so you'd think I would rebound back down there fairly quickly once I straightened up my eating. Instead, I'm having to fight for every ounce.

I would suggest that you review your diet calendar and note that you are not eating nearly enough vegetables. Check out atkins.com and look at the acceptable food lists. If you log your veggies in snacks/other you'll be able to determine if you're getting your 12 to 15 net carbs of vegetables each day. If you follow strict Inductions - no nuts, no fruit, easy on the cheese (4 oz or less per day) and watch your processed meats I will almost guarantee that you see the scale move! Good luck!

I completely agree with HeidiG. In addition, I would up your protein to at least 4-6 oz. per meal. For many of your days, it looks like you're falling short and that means you could be losing lean muscle mass as you're losing weight, something you want to avoid! For women 5'3" to about 5'8", the minimum protein requirements starts at about 70g/day and goes on up to about 150g....check the Atkins book/site for the exact numbers/ranges. If you add some protein (preferably something fresh, not processed) and veggies, your calorie count should come up naturally, as I also suspect you're eating too few calories for the weights you're going through right now. It's hard to tell for sure because either you're skipping some meals or you're not logging everything. Be sure to log everything so you have a better record of what's working (or not) for you. Congrat's on getting rid of those 4 pounds thus far! Good luck!
