I have been on Atkins for three weeks and the first two weeks I lost a total of six pounds but I have hit a place that I can't get above. I don't know what to do.
Help!!!!!!!

You have hit the TYPICAL 3-week "pause".

It is normal.

RELAX.

Add another helping or two of veggies, make sure you drink enough water, and RELAX!

Cheers,
Emelia

I agree! I lose 5 or 6 lbs then have a week or 2 break but continue to lose inches!

I know what you mean about "stuck". I have been on low carbs since about January. I am currently stuck as well. I just went off birthcontrol and am now thinking that regualating my hormone cycle was a good thing. Just keep your head up! All your hard work and good eating pays off!!

I wrote in this morning on the same thing. I'm 4 weeks today. I lost 10 lbs. the first 2 weeks, 2 lbs. the third week and NONE this past week. Some said it's normal, but it is discouraging. Everyone said to drink more water and eat more vegetable. So today, I've drank and drank and drank. I'm starting to get sick of water!

It is normal. I spent nine days at the same weight after induction, then today saw a loss of three pounds. Stay the course --- you won't be discouraged.

SHEEW....What a relief, I too am experiencing a "stall" I am into my third week and have not lost anything more (i lost 8 lbs during induction.) I did notice a slight loss from the tape measure about 1/2". I feel much better to know that others have been and are going thru the same thing!
I read the posts about eating more veggies, and making sure to drink your water, so that is what I am doing too.
