I know I have written down that I am following atkins, but I guess I'm really not. I let myself have lowcarb yogurt sometimes as well as lowcarb torillas. The major difference though is that I am allowing myself to have a day off 1 day a week. I know it might make my progress slower, but I need to find a way to make this for life. Its not realistic for me to say I will ever have mashed potatoes again or cake so instead of feeling like a failure when I do and then give up, I want to rid the guilt by saying its okay sometimes. I have a friend who is now starting her second year of a low carb lifestyle & her & husband have lost 60lbs (started much smaller than I) and kept it off doing it this way. I've decided that I don't care if it takes 1 year or 5 to loose the weight, I'm going to keep going.

I'm trying not to get discouraged, but the scale is not moving. Its been 2 weeks now. I've been doing everything right and I've started exercising every day and doing weight training 3-4x a week. The weird thing is I went shopping yesterday and I was down 3 sizes (from 28W to 22W). I was hoping I was a size 24 and I was surprised to easily fit into a size 22W and 1x tops. This goes against all my former thinking about how the scale doesn't lie. I took my measurements and I've lost 6 inches around my waist and 4 around my ribcage since starting atkins. I understand that muscle takes up less room than fat and all of that, but I also know that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn which should result in more weight loss. I just don't understand why at my weight, the scale has stopped moving. I honestly don't know if I should throw out the scale or do something differently. I was really hoping to be down 100lbs from my heaviest (343lbs) by my birthday (in October), but there is no way that's going to happen now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
