Hi,
Brief intro -- then --- H E L P!!!!
I am new to this forum and already love it! I am female 31 with three children under 4. I have attempted Atkins in the past for 1.5 months....then a couple weeks....then a couple days...etc...you get the picture.
Now for the help I am looking for:
I originally lost 15 pounds when I first started. I restarted on June 1. So far I am only back to the same weight as the original loss (-15 pounds). I don't know whether the Depo Shots stall me or what I am doing wrong.
I eat the right foods and watch my carbs very carefully. If I am ever to go over, it is on foods like lettuce or cabbage which also has fiber. (I might have two cups of lettuce instead of one). I even avoid putting any other veggies in my salad. I am happy with lettuce and some ranch dressing.
I eat 3 eggs for breakfast, I usually have tuna salad with a bit of mayo and lettuce for lunch. Snacks are generally pieces of chicken from the night before or sunflower seeds. Dinner is either a steak with just steak spice rubbed on it and BBQ'd or baked chicken..and a lettuce salad..sometimes coleslaw (homemade). I take a lot of supplements and drink 100 OZ or more of water daily.
On top of that I go to the gym 4-5 times a week and walk at *least* one mile and also weight train..(just started that)
I have been stuck at 260 pounds and the weight won't go any further!! In fact today I weighed myself and I was 2 pounds heavier!
All this discourages me and I sometimes feel maybe it is not even worth it! I need the advice and support form newsgroups and forums because no one I talk to in my family knows this diet as intensely as I do, and they don't understand. My Mom will offer me a piece of fruit or my husband will offer me a French Vanilla Capaccino (from Tim Hortons...Oh God I miss those!!)
But anyways...I guess this would just be a cry for help??? or whatever advice I can get, I'll take!
I am really tired of my weight. It is a challenge going to the gym with all the skinny's there looking at you funny, but I DON'T CARE what anyone thinks.
Thanks in advance for your help! :-))
