Congrats on your big loss! Gaining a pound in a day isn't really all that abnormal. It could be water weight, or you may not have "eliminated" yet. Going by how your clothes fit is a really good judge of getting fit though. Hope you feel better soon! 

Atkins kinda scares me but I am glad it is helping you lose big time. My eating healthy and low fat certainly doesn't seem to be doing much:) 

iowasra: I don't believe that low fat diets work. I ate low fat for years and struggled with high cholesterol no matter how little fat I ate. After I went on Atkins I had my cholesterol checked and all of my numbers were perfect! I was astounded because Atkins goes against everything I ever learned about a healthy diet. That was back in 2004 and I have remained low carb ever since. And my cholesterol has remained right where it should be. I now find myself needing to lose some weight due to a medication that I was on over the past year. I'm off it now and ready to drop these unwanted pounds for good. I say read the book and see if you think it would work. Atkins has got to be one of the most misunderstood plans around. jazzbaby: Way to go on your progress!!! You may be up a pound due to hormonal fluctuations or maybe you didn't drink all of your water yesterday. I find the both will make me go up a bit. Also, you may have had something high in sodium that could be making you retain a bit of water. If that's the case, drink a little extra today and see if that helps flush it out.
