Hi At it!

I am sorry you are not losing. I know and can fully understand how frustrating it can be. I started my low carb adventure doing Atkins as well. After about 2 or 3 months, my weight stalled and did not budge at all. I converted to Stillmans thinking the amount of fat in my diet was causing the delay. (Stillman's is virtually no fat. . so butter would be out - mostly tuna, turkey and chicken.. ). . I struggled and struggled and still nothing came off. Finally my peeps on the Stillman's board convinced me to go to the Dr. and low and behold. . I was having thyroid issues. My doc said its very common in women and many don't even know they have problems. Have you been checked? I would highly recommend it. That may be your problem. At any rate, please feel free to join the rest of us on the May board and maybe someone else can offer some better advice. Best of luck to you. .
