Any other Atkins dieter's out there?

I really really like it and I love mfp too so I wondered if there are any Atkins groups on MFP I could join or if we should just start a new one, or maybe if this even…

Made it thru the weekend, now I'm in it for the long haul
I made it thru the weekend, which is the hardest part for me..Now the kids are in school, Hubby is sleeping (he works nights) and it's just me and my baby until 2:30 p.m. I went to the grocery store yesterday and forced myself to buy me some "healthier" foods that I enjoy..I am not used to that. I always put myself last…

Scale Vs. Wii-fit
I am a little confused:frown: I have a digital scale which I use obsessively every morning to weigh myself & I occasionally use the wii-fit scale. There is usually a difference of about 2-3lbs.

Wii Board v. Scale?
Does anyone use their Wii board as a scale so long as it is on a flat surface? I used to only use that. However, another lady at my office has a scale in her office and I started using that. Haven't been on the Wii in several months. I used it today and it says I weigh 168 (on the naked setting). The scale at work says…

Help. Need advice.
It's recommended that I eat 1220 calories a day. I'm eating breakfast lunch and dinner. The problem is that I'm not reaching the calories set for me. I'm not starving. Actually feel full during n after meals with some hunger pains during the late nights. I keep reading that anything under 1200 is starving yourself but I'm…

Calling all P90X participants!!!
Hey! Ok, so I'm on my 5th week of P90X and though I am noticeably getting more muscle and losing fat, the scale just won't budge! I read a blog Chalene posted that even though we are gaining muscle, we should absolutely be losing weight on her program and P90X. What I did: I calculated my BMR online and came up with 1346…

Updated calorie limit
Hmm, so I just updated my fitness profile based on my weight loss so far. it lowered my calorie intake to 1200 calories from 1300. Now 100 calories less isn't a big deal, my only issue is I know it will NEVER go below that. I still have 62 lbs to go. So I'm worried that in a few months, I'll plateau, and not be able to…

Measurements
I find that for me the only two measurements necessary are thighs and waist, but despite losing 2.4kgs (5.5 lbs) this week and exercising quite a lot, (Stepping, walking, cycling) they don't move! I thought your measurements were supposed to go down even if your weight didn't, not the other way round. Any thoughts?

personal trainers and the menopause
I gave up dieting as it was getting me nowhere. A hysterectomy and instant menopause has put my body into some sought of out of control state. So I took on a personal trainer. £1000 and 35 sessions later and I am a stone heavier!! How cruel.

The Dreaded Plateau
Yes. The dreaded plateau. Yes. I have hit mine. Losing 40 lbs. was a goal (for a new tattoo--not my final goal), and once I hit it, I never went past it. For about a month, now, I have been lingering in a 5 lb. window, and it is getting really frustrating. For the most part, I have kept things the same. I'm still eating my…

Giant calves
I've been on MFP for 2 weeks now and things are going great. However, one thing I'm curious about... I carry most of my weight in my midsection and my legs actually don't have much fat.

Anyone understand Atkins?
No, I am not following the plan, but I am trying to understand how to calculate Net Carbs. It's very confusing to me....I understand that you take the total Carbohydrates minus the Fiber to get the Net Carb total, but then they throw in the mix with the Sugar Alcohols....Do you subtract Sugar Alcohols as well? Any help…
