Oh good grief, I can just see the difficulties you are going to have maintaing already, and the fear you will feel of 'gaining it all back'...
I just hate reading posts like this becuase i know what is to come and it aint good.

You should not have gone a strict induction for 3 monts to lose 8 pounds. In particular, you shouldn't be upping your fats even further to lose 3 more. But you've done that now. The trick is now to sart slowly changing your thinking before you are in 'any change will make me gain my entire 11 pounds b ack' mindset..

Go read Atkins for life NOW. At this point you should be decreading fat, increasing carbs, maintaing adequate protein, and incorporating exercise. If you do not do these things it is not that you won't lose 3 pounds, its that we will all have to hear you in the maintence forum bemoaning your fear of yogurt/carrots/etc and not knowing how to maintain properly.

I am sorry if I sound harsh but I do get worried for people's health - including their mental wellbeing!!

(Oh, and at that height, the only way you are really going to lose 3 pounds is likely to involve exercise)
