I switched from Atkins to WW a week ago and lost a half pound this week. Not great, but still in the right direction. I needed the change and plan to stay with WW another week before making any further decisions. It's been great being able to have fresh pineapple and strawberries (we have a wonderful organic market nearby) and yams and corn on the cob. But, I must admit, I was hungry a lot, unlike with Atkins. And, I find WW much harder to deal with. More complicated and probably not as much structure as I need. WW has changed over the years and I don't think it's all for the better. Anyway, thank you all for the support. I find this site so helpful and motivating. Someone always has a really good idea to share. Thanks.

Hi, I changed a few weeks ago from Atkins to WW. My blood presure was getting high and i felt generally unwell on Atkins. Ive since lost half a stone but to be honest you can have alot of palteaus then sudden weightloss. The one similarity is water.....drink as much as poss, really does work
Good luck anyway, hope it works out for you.

I was on Atkins for 3 years, and loved how fast I lost the weight. I lost 50lbs in a few months. Most weeks I'd lose 5 lbs. I was so thrilled. Then I went off of it for a few months to enjoy the summer festivals etc, and gained 30 lbs before I knew it! I haven't been able to get it to work for me again. I don't understand it! So I decided to give Weight Watchers a try. I lose a pound and gain a pound, so frustrating. It just seems so slow, that I give up hope.

Dear Bluemoon,
I have experienced the same thing. I lost weight on South Beach and gained it back in a hurry but when I tried it again, it didn't work. I also am switching to WW (today's my first day). I have tried WW before, but I have to eat way less points to lose than they tell me to. This time, I am going to try to combine it with good carbs(limiting bad carbs except for occasionally) so that I won't be so hungry. Good Luck!
