I still look like that too. I may have lost a little weight, but I am about 15 lbs over what I should be.

Wow that is an interesting idea about Atkins...I know he claimed that his diet could reset your metabolism and maybe that's what happened to you!
I think for right now this minute, just take the weight loss and be happy about it and bide your time for the plateau because it IS coming!!!
Lost another pound! I was on vacation (at my HS reunion) and I ate like a pig, but still lost weight!! I am freaking out now... do you think I should postpone my attempt?? I had my heart set on October, but it seems really soon, and if I can't start gaining, what can I do? I seriously think it is the lack of sugar in my diet. I used to have a HUGE sweet tooth and ate crap all. day. long. I am not kidding. I would sometimes buy a box of twinkies and eat all of them in one day!
I have bought some juice. I am eating a ton of burgers, fries, bananas, etc. I just feel like I can't stuff any more food in!!
sounds like its the lack of sugar then! i dont knwo if you should not sway bc of the lsing weight. but i do think sticking to this diet, youre body will eventually get used to it and then a couple weeks after that will decide if it wants to gain weight or plateau. you must have a good metabolism.
Same thing happened to me. 126 pounds after diet- usually about 128. I wouldn't worry- I was stufffffing my face with food. I was so full. But I always ate a lot of sugar and low nutrient food before this, so I think it is from sugar too. DH lost 15 pounds- and he is not a big guy!
Eat more sugar/carbs along with your protein. I wouldn't postpone my attempt YET (you are lifting weights, right? You might want to add in an additional day of lifting along wtih increasing the sugar) because it may very well be that your overall body type is actually becoming more boy-friendly. I would like to see you stop losing at the very least and maybe gain a couple back before you try. November should be almost as good as October, no worries!!!
