I am new to the site and found out about this website throught Atkins.com. Here is the quick version of my story. I actually started on Atkins on January 3rd. After the first two weeks of induction, I lost 4 pounds. After the next two weeks, staying on induction, I gained a half pound back. Bummed!!! I think by incorporating the Atkins bars into the diet, I messed up how my body was reacting to the Atkins. I also wasn't tracking anything and may have gone over carbs. I am going to try to cut out the Sweet-n-Low and cut back on the half and half with my coffee and tea and see if that will help. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this?
I have done Atkins in the past and it worked great, but gaining while still being in Induction is a real bummer for me.

Thanks alot for your feedback. I have heard that a couple times now, about the bars. They just make my life so much easier in the morning. I guess I just have to prepare better and limit the sweet-n-low. I figure if I limit myself to the one bar in the a.m., and the 1 packet of sweetener in my a.m. coffee, that shouldn't be too much of a big deal, right??? Then I can get through the rest of the day without another bar or any more sweetener, what do you think??

I was just hoping it would be as easy as it was when I did it ten years ago, guess the older I get the harder it's going to be. The big thing that I have to work on is preparing for meals, and I should probably get some exercise in as well. It's tough with everything going on, working all day, an hour commute each way, ugh, I was soo hoping this would have been easier. But I am going to stick with it because my New Year's Resolution was to lose 10 pounds, so I have 7 to go. Looks like I will be boiling eggs tonight :)
