Hi everyone, I'm new here - I am on week 3 of Atkins, still eating pretty much the same as in induction, only I have added berries - breaks up the monotony of eggs for breakfast!!

Anyway, I have two questions - the first is that I have stalled for the last week! I lost 11 pounds in the first 2 weeks, which I'm really happy with.
I eat loads of veggies - yesterday I ate:

1/4 cup berries with a little cream for breakfast
chicken breast salad with ceasar dressing (v low carb dressing) and olives

2 pieces chicken (skin on) with a cup of mangetout and red&yellow peppers for dinner

Sugar free jello for dessert

This is a pretty typical daily intake for me. I drink diet soda with sucralose, not aspartame. I do drink a couple coffees a day (half-caf) with sucralose and cream. This did not seem to affect me during induction.


...

I know that I do not drink enough water, and I dont know how much that can have affected me. But I need to kick start myself again - I am getting married in 5 weeks, buying my dress 2 weeks from today!!!

Help please!

Question 2 relates to wedding day itself - I plan to stick to low-carb choices for my meals for the day, but there's no way I'm not drinking champagne on my wedding day - how is this going to affect me? Will it take me out of ketosis? Will I have to go back to strict induction afterwards??

Very distressed about this!

Thanks...
