Still around!

[wdwnutze]

I haven't checked in lately but I have still been lurking. I have been officially stuck at my current weight for the past 6-8 weeks. Although I am very happy with my 43or so lb weight loss, I was hoping to have lost a little more for my trip next week. I hvae been discouraged BUT have stuck with Atkins.(it will be a way of life for me). I will go on my vacation and relax and enjoy and hopefully things will begin to move again for me. I am only about 15-20lbs from where I want to be so I know the end is near. Just wanted to post and reassure myself that I am still a part of WISH even though I haven't gotten the scale to move recently. Congratulations to all of you that have been losing and having wonderful results. It is lots of hard work but the support from this board makes it a little easier!

This happens you know. I would say your body is taking a break but you need to kick it up and fool your body. I don't know how i would suggest to you to do that using atkins maybe some of those guys could better offer you suggestions. With me i'll go really skippy on supper or lunch for a day or two then eat regular again or go wild and eat what i want all weekend and go back to eating my normal lunch and suppers during the week or cut out all my sugary snacks (tootsie rolls, carmels, peppermint malts) and that will jar me into a loosing trend again. I know that does'nt help you any but it's okay and you need to shake things up a bit. Stop eating what you normally do for a day or too and try new food in your diet. You've done and awesome job and you could shed those last pounds off in a matter of weeks!

I have had several stalls. In fact, I have chosen to maintain my weight until after January 1st and then I will begin induction again. I don't plan to stop eating this way so I've decided to slow down for a while before pushing my way to goal.

I am the same right now...maintaining at 42 pounds...but, like Kath, I have decided to maintain until after the holidays....then I will also start induction again. I am hoping this will help give me that boost I need to start losing again!
