Hi Orzabelle... if you have been working out for years it's possible you need to switch it up in order to get new results. Have you considered trying a different style of cardio or lifting or whatever it is you enjoy? If you linger around the exercise forum here, there's a lot of great info regarding different types of plans, etc. It is possible your body is used to what you're doing and it needs a boost to tone up more.

As for eating, Atkins is not a quick weight loss plan. I'll bet you though, that if you stick it out, the last bits of fat will peel off. Slow and steady wins the race.

Best to you!
