If you had totally given up you would not be here. We all feel that way at one time or another. Just remember to get up more times than you fall down. It may not seem like much, but you have lost before and you're still down about 6 pounds from your starting weight. You can do it... don't give up... You may need to check out a different diet plan... I have tried tons of plans but the Atkins really works if you stick with it. We're rooting for you...
