  • 33 lbs down in 35 days...

    I know I posted on here a few days ago at 313 but this morning i was 310..down another 3 pounds and it hit me...I'm 310 pounds today...thats 33 pounds lighter than on Jan 1 when I began Atkins.
    A 2 or 3 year old child weighs 33 pounds..I lost that much weight in a little more than a month...It wasnt that hard (I stuck to Atkins strictly)....and rode my exercise bike for 30 min a day.
    Each day I must admit I think about the good foods I ate (and ate)...but then I think about my health and wearing my size 40 levis again and at this point its much more important than the sodas, chips, fast food, etc...etc..
    I read the success stories here everyday..it's the main thing that keeps me motivated and for this I thank everyone.
    I'll keep doing Atkins because I know it works for me.
    My hope is that everyone be successful on Atkins.
    Thank You .

            WOW!! Congratulations

            I hope I can keep such a strong and steady pace
            3 years ago, I lost 60 pounds in 12 weeks on Atkins.
            I have PCOS, which makes my weight REALLY sensitive to carb intake, and I've gained back most of it since going off plan.
            Restarting 02/07/10.

                  <"friendly" grrrrr>

                  Why is it always the men who lose lots and quicker? <big sigh>

                  I've been waiting to hit my second mini-goal for over a month with no luck - I am eating the proper foods, exercising PLUS using FitDay so I know that I'm doing things right!

                  Oh well.

                  Oops! Sorry for stomping on your thunder! Congrats on your phenomenal work!!! You deserve it!!!

                        Rebbekka, we men have it much easier. But you're still doing great! Keep up the good work. And I like that your height is 5'12" in your signature, btw.

                        60lbs in 3 months? My guess is a planned event (wedding, trip) where some of the guests are people to either be impressed or to be hit on. Either way, it's a good goal.
                        N.B.: not on Atkins, but low-carb dieting for a healthy lifestyle change and weight loss. Taubes' Good Calories, Bad Calories changed what I thought I knew about nutrition

                          Great job! Such an inspiration that it CAN be done. I have not been as strict as I could have been and as a result my weight loss has been slowed. But, I need to get the rest of my weight off in the next two months because I'm getting married in October. I know the dress I want, but I won't buy it until I drop most of the weight, and it takes 10-12 weeks to get the dress in.

                          Mini goal 1: 180 1/23/2010 2: 170 4/25/2010 , 3: 160, 4: 150, 5: 140 Final Goal: 125

                          Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

                            Just a thought... If you just LOVE this wedding dress, perhaps you should go ahead and BUY IT and put aside a few $$$ for the "taking in" (with an advance reservation with the "seamstress" of your choice) as the happy day nears!!! Double the joy as "it" loosens up while the clock ticks!!!
