I have tried everything to lose weight. I was doing so well on Atkins since January 3 and lost 12 pounds - down to 245 pounds. I gorged myself for the last 4 days on every carbohydrate food I could find. This is madness that I cannot lose this weight. I am so defeated. My mom gave me some pictures she just had developed and I cannot believe how I look.

How am I ever going to lose this weight???

Maybe Atkins isn't for you. Not all plans work for everyone. Why not try just counting calories? I did Atkins for six straight months and it took me another year of trying to get back on it to realise it was just not for me. I can not live on that plan and am now counting calories. I eat what I want in limited portions and am doing good. Good luck, I know how hard it is, we all do. :-) Stephanie 280/242/223 for now

I was just thinking the same thing as Steph.
