This makes me feel a little better.

From Atkins..........

Expect Stalls.

It's perfectly normal for the body to go through adjustment periods while you're losing weight on the Atkins Diet. No weight loss plan is a downhill slope. You will more likely see a loss, then a gain, then another loss.
Don't use daily weight changes as any indication of how you are progressing! While on the Atkins diet, you may find that your weight loss slows after the first two weeks. This is normal. If you weigh yourself daily, use those numbers to calculate your average weight at the end of the week by adding the daily weights together and dividing by the number of days.
A better measure of your progress will be how loosely your clothes start to fit. That's also why it's a good idea to measure yourself before
you begin.

If you find yourself feeling weak, you may not be getting enough carbs. Although the Atkins Diet is low in carbohydrates, it is not a no carb diet. As you go through each phase of the Atkins diet, you will be adding more carbs. Try adding a little more to see if it helps.

Many women experience a weight gain of 2-5 pounds the week before their time of month.. This water weight gain is temporary.

It is about that time for me!!
