Well I stuck to Atkins for a week and according to my scale I gained 4 lbs. Now this is pretty much impossible, way too few calories to gain weight. So this proves a suspition I've had that my scale doesn't work properly and I weigh more than I thought I did. My scale goes up to 440 lbs and apparently if your over that it will just make up some number near that. So I have 3 choices 1) buy a new scale 2) find someplace that has a heavy duty scale or 3) wait a while before I weigh myself again. I was very upset, but I am hanging in there for at least one more week. The reason being is the other 2 times I did Atkins I lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks.
