In the 30-60g range, you'll still lose weight, just not as quickly. The 20g per day thing with Atkins is not permanent....it's only required during the first 2 weeks. After that people can start adding 5g/day each week (25g/day for week 3, 30g/day for week 4, etc.). It allows you to slow your weight loss down and find out where your equilibrium is. Once you find it, if you still have weight to lose, you dial it back 5g-10g/day until you hit your goal.
I'm guessing mine is in the 90-100g range, but it'll probably drop as I get older.

a scale without gauging the fat percentage and lean mass measurements isnt telling the whole story. $9 calipers and $2 cloth tape measure are valuable tools and may be telling a whole different story that could turn backfire.
