    52 is a tough time to lose. Your hormones make it almost impossible to lose. I lost 16 since March and that is with lots of exercise. I was recently stuck for about 6 weeks. Its going to be slow. Sorry

    HW 298
    HW (this time) 248
    GOAL ONE 228     (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

     It's not about the results. Its about the process.

      12 lbs in 10 weeks is not bad --- that's ~1.2 lbs per week. If 10 years ago you lost 25 lbs in 6 months, that's 25 lbs in something like 25 weeks, so 1 lb per week. Your weight loss is at least the same now, if not faster. How much do you have to lose?

      Can't wait to see your "Atkins made me X years younger" post! Happy losing!

        Welcome to the boards, this is a great place for information, encouragement and advice!

        Losing slow is still losing (everthing is easier when you're younger, isn't it?). The wii and other exercise will help too.

              Hi Lynnyrn,

              I am new here as well, started June 21st. Only 4 lbs have decided to leave me!! I have read where people are losing much faster than that. I am 42 and I knew once I hit my 40's it was going to be tough, but come on!!

              I wish you the best of luck, and me too, Lord knows I need it!
              I have a new respect for Atkins' WOE and for those who have succeeded.

              Take care everyone,

              Michelle
