Hey there! I am Kat, I just turned 40 and am pretty okay with that. But, I have spent a lot of my life fat, so how about if we try something new?

I have been dieting for most of my life, and this time around I am focusing on getting healthy. I want to be able to move more and eat good food that makes me feel good. Right now, I am taking this one day at a time.

I am a community college professor (english and writing). I am a cat owner, baseball fan, and wanna-be writer. My favorite color is green and I am obsessed with Derek Jeter. I walked a 12K once and loved it, so I would love to get back into training. Maybe even do a marathon.

budget
I think it depends on why you are doing Atkins. If it is for health reasons, then just "switching to Calorie-Count" isn't going to work.

I think the key to doing Atkins cheaply is investing in a crock pot so you can buy the big, cheap cuts of meat. I try to find any meat that is less than 2 dollars a pound and I buy it and freeze it, if I can.

When I am in financial lean times, I will just eat the same thing every day. So I can buy a package of meat and then ingredients for a salad or a bag of frozen broccoli and that gets me through the week. It gets tiring eating the same thing, but it works. Good luck.

I am stuck on atkins
I have read the latest two Atkins books cover to cover and in both they talk about how the bars and shakes can slow weight loss. I try to only eat them when I am really craving something sweet and nothing else seems to work.

my tummy is big
I tend toward hourglass (curvy hourglass, but still even). As soon as I start to lose weight it comes off the top part. I can go down a full two sizes in my chest before my belly and behind. I wish I could control where it came off first, that would be great.

I am stuck on atkins
Two years ago my mom and I went on Atkins together. We ate the exact same food and she lost 3 times as much weight as I did. I had to cut out soda, Atkins bars, and start adding olive oil to my veggies to begin to see results. I can't remember if it is in the new Atkins book or not, but I know there was a section in one of the older books that talked about people who were *resistant* Without seeing your food it is tough to say what the slow down is, but I will say that some people are more sensitive to sugar. Could there be *hidden* sugars that you are not aware of? A lot of mayonnaise, salad dressings, condiments, and even prepared meats have sugar. Personally, I have to eat almost completely *natural* to lose weight on Atkins. Good luck!

Atkins Diet phase 1
I am sorry you are getting discouraged, but I know I'd like to lose a half an inch off my waist! I just started Atkins again (I am on day three of induction). But I have done it twice before. The first time the weight just melted off. The second time it took a lot longer to see results, but eventually I did see results.

Maybe there are some hidden carbs or sugar in your food that you are not aware of? That can slow down weight loss.
