Well, I come to you all in exasperation. I have now completed my 11 day and have lost only 4 pounds which continues to jump around more than a ping pong ball. Initially, I started this new way of eating in support of my husband, I mean yes I want to lose weight but I am totally not a diet person. So upon the first few days I had to learn from my husband what foods I could eat and not eat. My hardest item has been to give up diet Coke. And now my hardest thing is just getting to the point where pounds come off for good. My husb. has lost 20 pounds within the first two weeks. This just adds to my dismay. Yes, I cried a few times. And now I am to the point of why should I keep going with this? I have been talking to people and they say that guys lose weight a lot faster than girls, but come on this is ridicules. We are now also taking L-Carnitene, which is supposed to speed up the fat burning process. Lately I have been feeling really tired. This is pretty much my diet routine, for breakfast I usually eat eggs (scrambled, omlette style) with either an ounce of cheese or a meat such as a couple of strips of bacon, a small piece of meat, or a small bunch of salad greens. Lunch comes around and I eat (from Burger King) a couple of grilled chicken patties and a side salad with LC dressing. In between I may have an Atkins shake if I happen to get hungry. For dinner will have a reasonablly large piece of meat and a salad again with LC dressing. Other snacks of mine include pork rinds, LC beef jerky, or boiled eggs. Throughout the day I have been drinking anywhere from 60-80 ounces of water. What am I doing wrong?
