Are you following the diet strictly? It is hard to lose with atkins if you don't stick to the plan closely. Hang in there, just try to figure out what you can improve and move forward. The weight will come off! 

Isn't it funny how we put on weight a couple of pounds here and there, but expect it all to drop off 10 pounds at a time. You have to get into a diet that you can live with for the rest of your life. This has to be a lifetime way of eating for you, otherwise you will gain it back again. I want you to be the best you can be, whether it is for you wedding or going to the grocery store. Just remember this. If you are happy with what you look like, how you act and who you are, then you are perfect and you don't need to change a thing. If there are parts that you want to change, go for it. Just remember to do it because it makes you feel better, not because others are judging you. 

I know what you mean! Don't give up though, the weight will eventually HAVE to drop if you stay in the game! Good Luck!! 

I have definitely learned patience through this process. Don't give up. As long as it is going in the right direction, that is what counts. The slower it comes off, the more likely it will stay off. That is my mantra. 

Thanks for all the encouragement!
