also which book are you following? atkins essentials allows foods that diet and the new revolution doesn't, i've found that some of the "non whole foods" processed foods, bars shakes, breads tortillas things like that slow my losses down, i've found that a clean only whole foods inductions works best for me =) but i am at a different weight than you, just wanted to put my 2 cents in hehehe good luck to you and don't stress about it.. it's a way of life and best not used as a "diet" =)
