Koko, I often wonder why posts like this one tend to make so many angry and defensive. You did not have a good run at it...that is ok, and I wish you good luck with whatever you find. I for one had a very long stall (almost a year) but finally got to the point of looking at how I was doing Atkins (or not doing Atkins...lol) and found many many flaws in my plan. I've upped my fat, lowered my protein and calories and the whoosh fairy has been visiting me on a regular basis for about a month now (dropped a whole size in one month!) This way of eating has never made me feel like I have to defend my choices rather it be to someone that thinks it is a dangerous plan or to someone that did not lose on it...I'm not sure why so many get so upset...anyways...good luck in whatever you do, I hope you find peace.
