Hi:

I'm feeling stuck and could use a buddy, too. I live in California (central coast) and i lost 7 1/2 pounds the first 2 1/2 weeks and haven't lost a pound in the 2 weeks since then. In fact, i keep going up a pound or two then back to 140.5. I'm itching to hit the 130's!

I'm a writer and massage therapst with 2 grown daughters and a 14 y.o. son. I'm a single parent at this time, though i am in a relationship.

Humor is a great way to get past through dieting...although I look at atkins as more of a lifestyle than a diet.

Looking forward to hearing more from both of you.
