How Long Did It Take To Lose 20 LBS. ?

[HarlemUSA]

Everyone seems to be doing so well and just wanted to know approximately how long did it take for people to lose 20 lbs. I haven't been on the scale since my last doctor's visit 10/31 and my pledge to weigh only when I go for my dr's appt. I have issues with the scale, so I don't own one.

I was 229lbs the day I started Atkins. I dropped 23lbs the first month.

I had a quick drop similar to Brook. Once I got into Ketosis, I was dropping about 1 pound a day. I'd say I lost 20 pounds in about 3-4 weeks.

ive been back to atkins since friday, although i was low carding before that. As of today, four days later, i am down 15 pounds! ill let you know when i hit 20. Im going to the gym like crazy and eating by the book....not over eating as some people still do with low carb food. I believe there is something to cal intake which is why i dont over eat. I think the less cals i take in the more stored carbs i can burn. I know for my body it takes cutting carbs to drop the weight.....cals alone will not work.

Of the 40-odd I lost since March, the first 20 went in about 5 weeks. I've been at 43 and a half for a few months because I'm almost at maintenance.
