hi everyone,

I started Atkins about 3weeks ago, I am doing the induction but so far I have only lost 6 pounds...I started at 206 pounds and would like to loose 60-65 pounds. I feel I am loosing a bit slow, considering I have a lot of weight to loose. I am sticking with the 20 carb per day pretty striclty and I am not depriving myself form fat and calories..I am also exercising 5 times a week, I am doing cardio for 1 to 1.5 hours, and do weight machines 3 times a week....although I have noticed that I have lost noticeable inches around my waist...I figured that maybe its because I am gaining muscle mass so my weight is not comming off as drasticaly as some people I read about....? or am I just have high metabolic resistance..? here is a average daily menu for me:

breakfast : 3 eggs, 1/2small tomato, 1Tbp green pepper, 2 strips of bacon, 2 small mushrooms, cooked in olive oil

2hours of GYM workout

lunch: 1cup siced cucumber, 12oz. trout fillet cooked with 2 cloves of garlic in butter

snack: 1scope of egg salad(hard boil eggs mayo, mustard), or 4 oz of cheese (sharp chedder or swiss)

dinner: Cajun chicken breast( 10 oz breast coated with parika and other spices) sauteed in butter with 3cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup mushrooms.

I have had some almonds on couple of occasions not every day
Lots lots of water through out the day

Am I doing somthing wrong? or is it just my metabolic resistance is high? wonder if some one else had similar experience like mine???

MY status

weight :200
height:5,6"
gender : female
age: 43
