Hey Jan! Congratulations on losing 100 pounds! I wish I had great news for you but towards the end, weight loss slows no matter which plan you are on. Atkin's is not faster than other plans really except for during the initial induction phase. If it is your first time on Atkin's, you will be more successful than you would if you had low carbed before. I so wish I had never gone off this plan and had truly cycled through all four Atkin's phases. If you feel good, are not hungry all the time (like Weight Watchers must have been) and are enjoying the food, just try to focus on the goal and know that you will get there. Slower weight loss is usually more permanent. I am expecting 2-3 pounds per month and if it comes off quicker, then that will be nice. It would be nice to have it all off by summer but I am so relieved not to be hungry all the time so have decided to be patient and let my body do its thing!!! Stay on plan and you will not be disappointed.
