Welcome, Bronx Tony!

My story is similar. When I started on Atkins last year, I was pushing 240 and feeling awful, and sick of feeling awful. I've been maintaining around 210 and feel so much better. My original goal was 199 or less, but the scale stopped going down around 209 and instead of getting frustrated, I decided to go with the flow and celebrate being 30 lbs. lighter. Someday I think maybe my weight will float down closer to 200, maybe not. I'm concentrating now on continuing to do what works for me and not fool myself into thinking I can go back to what I was doing before I lost the weight and expect good results. (Close to the definition of insanity.) Some days are easier than others.

Best to you on your journey. You're in very good company here.
