Hi all,

Its great to have found this forum since i started Atkins a month back.

Previous to this, about 4 years back i had lost about 40 pounds successfully and have been off and on the diet till now. I didnt gain back any of the lost weight except for maybe 4-5 pounds occassionally up or down.

Now i want to loose all the excess weight and actually become skinny.I would have about 20 pounds to lose to get there.

Problem is, that this time my weight loss seems to be extremely slow...!Has my body kinda got used to atkins so it wont lose weight faster anymore?I still remember i could see signficant weight loss in a month previously but now i jst feel...toned.

My ketostix are at moderate level and i do intense brisk walking everyday.
Iam on induction right now.

Anyone any idea about the body adaptation thing? Or do i just go on for another 2-3 months and watch. Its depressing because its taking me nowhere...Could it be that those last 20 pounds are the toughest to lose the say, and thats why the slow progress?

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
