Nancy, thanks for your words of wisdom. Yes, I am on Levoxyl (137ug)..and have been at that level for almost 1 year. So, my hypothyroidism is in 'check', but I've been on the 1200-1300 cal diet w/exercise at 5-6x week (carbs probably around 150g) and either gained or maintained.

Starting Atkins now I am not really losing weight, I've lost a few inches here and there, but I managed to lose 10 on CAD just before switching to Atkins. I do feel better on LC WOE, but I still need to lose 15 lbs (am insulin resistant and don't want to tempt my body w/diabetes). After trying for 4 yrs to lose and not being successful, I DO want it to happen overnight (still would like atleast 1 WOOSH!)...but I agree w/your statement about patience.

I'm in a 4 week stall w/the scale, and it's getting harder to be patient when I feel like I'm just maintaining vs losing. Want to get the scale going again!
