Is this good? my restart update loss...

[dznyluvr]

Well I restarted atkins on my birthday (Jan 7th) (a gift to myself ) amhow my weight starting out on that day was 217, I weighed in today and I'm at 196... so is this a good amount to have lost in I believe 7 weeks? I'm not sure what I should weigh at 5'7 1/2. I know when I first started back in I believe june or july I weighed in at 239, so I know 196 now is not bad, I just wanted a few opionions... Thanks

3lbs. a week is terrific! Keep up the good work!

I'm 5' 8" and the range for me is 146-167. I have what Met Life calls a large frame (busty, big shoulders, big butt even at my low weight). Also, I'm over 40 and I'll never get to my high school weight in the low 140s (dress size 6) again, I'm sure.

I'm shooting for 164 -- a really good weight for me. I now weigh 177 (was 193 in late December), so I'm getting there!

Here's a couple of weight charts:

Thanks to all of you for the kind words, it's always good to hear that your on the right track. I really haven't picked a goal weight. Astrogirl I guess I would be classified as large framed also except minus the busty lol those we're the first to go... This board is great you sure learn alot and everyone is so nice...I will keep posting...Thanks again.
