2nd time around but newbie to the board

[beanie119]

Hi Everyone,
I am a 32 year old single mother of two great children. I work full time and attend online course through Penn State. When I was on atkins before, I lost around 80lbs going from 300lbs to about 220lbs. I maintained that weight for three years until I became pregnant with my daughter. Five years later... I began atkins agina back in January because I was simply uncomfortable with who I had become. My begining weight this time was 326, I have since lost 40lbs and am down to 286lbs! I am very excited about the loss but have not been able to loose any additional weight in the past two weeks. I have not increased the amount of carbs I am eating, nor have I decreased the amount of activity I do. If anyone have any suggestions/comments please let me know!
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to ADBB Beanie
Good work on doing Atkins and losing weight.

I don't know what is going on with your little pause there. It is not unusual to pause for a bit on this Diet. If you wish you can share your menu with us and we will let you know if there are thing you could improve.

Have you thought about moving up OWL. Maybe you need a change?

Welcome to the board, Beanie! And congrats on your loss so far!

You may need to eat a little more veggies to help start losing again. Also check to see if there may be hidden sugars in some of the things you're eating.

Do you have the 2002 edition of the Dr. Atkins New Revolution? It's the book we go by here and if you follow it to the letter, you will succeed.

Good luck to you!
