I've lost just exactly 100lbs since I started Atkins.
On the one hand, it's fantastic. I've gone off all my meds except those for asthma. I can move easily, I can fit into regular spaces and chairs. I can buy 'regular' plus sizes, no more 'extended' sizes.
On the other hand, I'm still bigger than most people who start out here, and I've been stalled for about 6 mos.
Intellectually I know why. I've hit a set point, a physical size I've actually been twice before, so my body is resting.
But my inner 5 year old is throwing a serious temper tantrum.
This is a way of life, and I'm in it for the long haul because I feel so much better. Even if I never lose another ounce, it will have been worth the change.
But I admit I haven't been posting much lately because I'm frustrated and don't want to be a downer for others.
