I've been doing Atkins since 2/29.  The first two weeks on induction I lost
6.5 lbs out of my goal of 24.5.  I have contined to stay on induction (this
is the third week), and have seen the scale go up and down by 1 or two
pounds daily, without a further drop in weight.

I have read in this group that it sometimes takes the body a while to adjust
after that initial drop, and I hope that is what is happening.  I am
drinking 73 oz. of water daily, going to Curves 4 or 5  times a week and
walking the dogs for a half-hour or so.  My only downfall (if you can call
it that) is that I may go over on the amount of salad greens I eat.  For
example, I may have 3 cups of romaine lettuce in my lunchtime salad, and
then have another cup (generous) of veggies at dinnertime.  I'm a vegetable
lover, and my firm belief in quantity over quality is probably what got me
to Atkins in the first place :)

I don't really care for nuts, and the only snack I may have is an occasional
piece of string cheese around 4 pm if I will be having dinner late.  In the
evenings I have a cup of herbal tea with no sweetener.  I drink two cups of
coffee with stevia in the morning.

My daily carb count varies from 18 to 22, according to fitday.  I would
appreciate any comments or suggestions.  This is the longest plateau I have
ever had in all my lengthy dieting experience.

This is a great group, lots of support and encouragement here.
