HI all......well after about 3 months of being completely plateau, I am finally losing the weight again!
I write in journal (here) every day so others are able to see what I eat and I got a very good comment (can;t remember who it was, but, thanks!) who said I should try not eating so many snacks (even if they are low carb and atkins approved!) I decided to try that and it has worked signifigantly!
Today is my fourth day not cheating! the scale has moved downward.
It does really pay to not cheat!
Since september, when I began, I formed habits that allowed my to lose 35 pounds, so, I was much heavier then and thep ounds came off easy! Come January, I still had the same habits and nothing! It was very frustrating. ABout 2 weeks ago I brought up my carbs (pretty uch used this as an excuse to eat whatever) and then this past monday began low carb again with only one snack a day as opposed to 3 or 4. and I have lost about 8 pounds already. ALOT, I know but, I really kicked started something. I also changed my exercise routine. I jog now and although, I haven;t in about 3 days (because I was so sore for the first time, 4 miles on Tuesday), it's still working!
Don;t cheat.........see how it works!

). I seem to think to get the thought that OK, I've been doing so good this little cheat won't hurt , but ususally it does so I should know better by now. I've been losing and regaining the same few pounds for the last few months 
. Lately I have been doing really well, until lats night, but it seems like I have been doing better when I just take it 1 day at at time and when I want to cheat I try and think about how well I have been doing and I also try to think about my friends that are supporting me here at WISH. I have also found it helpful lately to pick up 1 of my low carb books again and read a bit in it and that seems to help keep me on track. When Sun. comes along tell yourself you don't need to cheat to watch the Sapranos and be strong. You can do this!!! Good luck!
