Jo, I stalled after my first couple weeks of Atkins too. It will start coming off again -- just keep going!

I've lost 40 since Dec.10th and have about 40 more to go. I've hit a plateau over the last several weeks but I've seen so much success with this that I know it's only a matter of time. I feel great! In fact, I just took my daughters swimming for the first time over the weekend. I've been avoiding swimming suits for the last 8 years and although I'm no bathing beauty, I don't think I scared anyone out of the pool! It was their first time in a "big pool" and they had a blast. They are my motivation for doing this. I want to take them swimming, go to waterparks, run and play with them -- they deserve it! They are going to be turning 4 in another two weeks (my babies!) and now that they are old enough to get out and enjoy things, I'm going to be there with them!!

My husband is my other motivation. He's lost 50lbs (lookin good!) and I'm determined to catch up!

What a great thread to start! Who else has a motivation story to tell us???
