Man, I can imagine trying to shop around and find an Atkins friendly doctor in London....here it is not so bad.

My doctor is not really Atkins friendly, but as long as I don't say the "A" word or say Low Carb see is pretty good about the whole thing.

I still think the hypothyroid may be a lot of the issue, coupled with building or maintaining your muscle mass. The two together may be keeping your weight where it is.

To my mind, 240 is only a goal for me, I will get there if I can, or go further, if I can. As long as my bloodwork and health are fine, I will be cool with wherever my weight loss halts, near my goal.

Thanks for the quick answers and good luck!
