Finally, after almost 2 weeks hovering between 194 -195 I dropped a bit of weight. So much for losing a lot on Atkins in the first couple weeks. I'll be happy to just get under 190 this month.

Suzanne, your calories are too low. This could be whats causing the slow weight loss. Women need 1500-1800 calories a day (minimum) for optimal weight loss on Atkins.

yea- but my doctor doesn't agree. Take a look at my calorie intake since may. I was loosing on this calorie intake - infact, when i go to even 900 calories, I gain.

No Dr in his right mind would approve what calorie intake you are doing hon. Sure hope you are taking vitamins!!!

I'd be starving if I only ate that amount of calories.

I was told to stay above 1200 in my diet and have lost 60 pounds from January til now..I started out on 1500 and now down to 1400 and loose about 1 or 2 pounds a week with exercise every day.
Be sure you are getting enough nutrients with that low of calories hun.

I know you said your doctor is approving this calorie intake. I would get a second opinion. You are below even starvation mode with these numbers. It is scary.

As a nurse for nearly 20 years, I can't name a single doctor that would approve of your caloric intake. I'm not sure we're getting the whole story. Something just doesn't make sense here.
