Does anyone use the Ketostiks?

Boy - I'm struggling with the Atkins! I'm still sticking with it but nothing seems to be working. Since school ended last Friday, I got up at my usual time each morning this week and walked two miles. I also gave up my nightly wine (again!!!).

But every time I use one of those sticks, it barely changes color! One night (the book says to do them at night) it was a darkish pink and I was thrilled, but then it went right back to the beige color the next night.

Any ideas? OR should I just keep going and hope for the best.

I wouldn't get too hung up on it as long as you are at least maintaining your weight and not gaining back. Have you stopped losing weight?

However, just wanted to make sure there's no "hidden carbs" in your meals, although judging by the amount you've lost so far, you probably have a good idea of anything hidden.

I'm guessing you could be at a plateau. You might need to do something to give your body a spark, probably something different from what you've been doing. So if you've only been walking as your exercise, maybe something a little faster paced? I'm not on Atkins, although I am on a moderate-carb program, so I was reading how you can plateau and you'll need to change your routine. i also read that if you were at a particular weight for a while, when you are losing weight and you reach that weight again it might get "stuck" for a while.
