Lean On My Shoulder / Re: Not losing

Ok I will make sure I write down everything for the next week every bite and not approximate. Many days I do not eat 20 carbs. Could this be a problem? I also have a lot of stress in my life right now and know being a nurse this also hinders my success. I do drink a lot of water daily as I am not a milk drinker and juices are out of the question. I weighed this am 1st thing and think I have lost 2-3 pounds will know better tomorrow am. Tomorrow will be three weeks following the plan. I will stay away from the diabetic candies. I usually only have 1 Atkins meal every couple of days or so. Yesterday was the olny day I felt actually hungry for snacking. I do take a daily vitamin so that is covered. We will see what happens this week. I will be out town next weekend and am already planning what is safe to eat when we play cards etc that is when the snacking could kill you. So I am getting prepared what I can bring with me. Thanks for all the advice....I will check in mid week and let you know how it is going... thanks.

Thank you everyone for the welcoming to the forum. Ok So I have been doing this for over a week.
My breakfast consists of a cup of coffee, with 1 Tbsp coffee creamer ( 5g) 1 pkt sweet and low (1g), 2 eggs scrambled with bacon bits and 2 brown and serve sausages, a small handful of shredded cheese and chopped up mushrooms, gr. pepper and onions. About 2 heaping Tbls.

Lunch: salad with 1/2 breast of grilled chicken, usually 5 pitted greek olives and feta cheese. approx. 2 Tbls.
 Seven seas pkt dsg made with balsalmic vinegar and olive oil.
Snack: Atkins bar 2 carbs

Dinner: Some kind of meat with no sauce grilled. Steamed cauliflower sprinkled with olive oil and lemon juice.

Snack: Diabetic candy 3 pieces for 2 carbs. Usually have 6

Water not a problem I carry water all day with me and we have Culligan water in the kitchen. Love a cold glass of water.

OK folks this is my usual day. Lunch I sometimes mix up with a wrap 3 Carbs, lettice and some kind of cold cut.

Any advice will help. I know I am not eating 20 carbs per day this could be my problem.

I was encouraged to get the book Fat to Skinny by my sister in law who swears by this book and has been losing weight. So I did and have read it. I have been on this for one week and have been really good about following my low carbs. At times find it hard to eat a lot of carbs since I got rid of pastas, rice and breads. I have not lost any pounds. I have been very diligent and reading labels. I dont get it. I am getting discouraged. I would love to see something .....does anyone have any advice. My sister in law who lives out of state from me...we keep playing phone tag. Need some advice.
