I DID THIS DIET ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, BEFORE ANY OF THE "PRODUCTS" AND "SUBSTITUTES" CAME OUT, AT LEAST THE GOOD TASTING ONES, AND I WENT FROM 180-150 IN ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS...
NOT HEEDING WARNINGS I WENT OFF AND HOG WILD...A YEAR AGO I WENT BACK ON IT AT 220 LBS THIS TIME... REALLY DEPRESSING. I WENT DOWN TO 180 IN 3 MONTHS. I'VE BEEN DOING TO MAINTAINING SINCE THEN, AND NOW I'M DROPPING MY CARBS AGAIN TO TRY AND LOSE THE REST, BACK DOWN TO 150... OR LOWER? ensive
I DID STAY ON THE INDUCTION PHASE THE ENTIRE TIME THOUGH. I FOUND IT DISCOURAGING TO START OFF LOSING 10 LBS EVERY 2 WEEKS, THEN HAVE THE LOSS SLOW DOWN. IT MAKES IT EASIER TO GO BACK ON THIS KNOWING THAT I'VE DONE IT BEFORE, AND IT'S SO EASY... ESPECIALLY WHEN I THINK BACK THREE MONTHS AT WHAT I WAS DOING, THEN REALIZE THAT I COULD ALREADY BE AT MY GOAL IF I HADN'T DELAYED...

Well it took me about 4 years to get to my highest weight.
I have done the Induction before but got off the diet (completely) and gained.

I re-started for the last time on July 12, 2004. It's been 16 days and I've been in ketosis the whole time and lost 5 lbs on the scale and still going

I started June 2003, got down to 280, then in October, crashed and burned until February 2004, regained 15 lbs, so in February, I was 295 lbs. I have not cheated at all since then and I am now at 260 lbs.

I started in June at 230 lbs, and I've lost 60 lbs as of now (Oct. 23). I'm weighing at approximately 170. 40 more to go! I absolutely love Atkins.
