I've lost about 15 pounds on Atkins. At first it came off quickly (about a pound a week) but it was really severe and it wasn't really Atkins - it was anti-candidas, which is far fewer carbs than Atkins. The last 5 l bs have been tough. They initially came off when I got sick and quit eating. I was then kept them off on 30 carbs/day until I had tooth problems, changed my eating habits. Now getting those last 5 off is hard. I'm not sure if they will come off. Except for my ego, and training from growing up in the diet-obsessed 60s, the last 5 pounds aren't that immportant. (holistic) Doctors are fine with me as where I am.
So I'm back to not worrying about the weight, and just watching the carbs for other health reasons. I'd love to be thin (well, I'd settle for a flat stomach, I don't think thin is in the genes), but I'm more concerned about getting the nutrients so I don't get osteoporosis (I'm in danger), have enough energy, blah blah blah.
