I began the Atkins diet in November 01 and lost about 6 pounds during induction. Then we traveled during the Christmas and New Year holiday and I "mostly" stayed on track. I didn't lose, but I didn't gain during this period. Since the middle of January when I returned from holiday, I have gone up and down for about 3 or 4 pounds. I can't seem to lose and I don't really gain. I will admit that I only needed to lose 15 pounds to begin with and now need only to lose the last 9 to 10 pounds which i can't seem to do. I have not been walking for exrcise during the extreme cold we have had. When the weather warms, I will add that back in. But not losing is getting depressing.
