For the record....I have been on atkins for 14 months (with a brief period where I dipped my toe into something else for a while) I lost fantastically well at the begining of atkins, I lost about 40lb in the first 6 months, and then only another 10 or so in the following 7 or 8 months. Just recently I had some personal stuff going on and ended up putting 5lb back on. After losing such a little amount for so long, I was totally devistated and anoyed with myself for being so stupid.
A few weeks of sillyness and I paid highly on the scale.

For fear of falling off of the wagon completely, I am going to try South Beach.

My start weight as of this morning is 251.5

Good luck to anyone who might want to join in sharing tips.
