I've seen to hit a plateau of sorts. I lost 20 pounds on the diet in about 5 weeks. But for the last 7-10 days, my weight has stayed steady..down or up no more than 1 or 2 pounds.

I keep my carbs under 28 grams a day. I'm TRYING to quit diet soda (bought the davinci syrups, which are nice with club soda..but PRICEY!).

I also workout daily (have my own elliptical that gives me a good workout). I've been VERY good at not cheating! Not even one piece of REAL chocolate since I started the diet. (Yes, I do munch on one or 2 of the atkin's bars or carbolite bars a day to keep me sane).

OTHER than reducing my carb intake a bit more, I don't know what to do. And I sure haven't reached my weight goal by any means. I know people hit plateau's in their diet's..and is this perhaps one that may take longer than 10 days to to end and the weight to start leaving again?

P.S. I eat fat free cheese because I do think there is something to say for not eating a bunch of fatty foods. Though Atkins seems to really endorse heavy cream etc. Any relevance here?

Any input (positive) or ideas appreciated!
