    56 Pounds Lost in 81 Days! :)))

    I had a three day stall last week..really my first (i'm blessed) I was worried but kept up my routine (akins, exercise, water)...and a few days ago i began to lose again.
    I am down to 287 .....I think I was last this weight over 8 years ago.....
    On News Years eve..My resolution was to get to 250 before the 4th of July..and today i'm 37 pounds from my goal and i'm so happy i have actually cried...
    I wish to thank everyone in here who has posted, as I read these forums daily..sometimes for an hour at a time and this has been and will be a great movitater for me.
    The only bad thing about losing weight.is. clothes.....I was wearing a size 50 jean..and xxxl shirts.....Now i'm 44 Jeans and wearing xl shirts...so I've been ordering some clothes as i go .....but not many as my goal is not here yet and hope to wear a 38-40 and l or xl shirt .....
    I've gotten quite a few commets from people I havent seen . One lady today said I was losing weight faster than the people on the Biggest Loser show heehhehe....(never watched it).....
    thanks again to everyone here

      I see no real need to move up the rungs..as Dr. Atkins says.."if you have alot to lose" and have no problems, you may stay on induction for much longer than 2 weeks...He also say's "staying on induction for up to 6 months is ok".....
      I am losing weight on induction, I feel great. This motivates me to stay on a diet.
      I will move up the rungs once I get close to 250. as this was my goal..but realistically I should be 200 or less to be healthy (and my health is main reason I have to lose this weight).

        Oh.

        >> I will move up the rungs once I get close to 250.>>

        Oh.

        Lots of people who've done it your way end up failing ... I'm sure you will be different!

          thanks for the encouragement...But unlike others I go by the book...exactly by the book...I'm thinking thats why I'm having success..
          If my success bother's you, I'm sorry...But I'm sure I will not fail..and If i do...I'm sure you will be the first to comment on it...
          It's a good thing most people have positive comments here or alot of people would be discouraged.
          Have a good night.

            Your success doesn't bother me at all ... it's of no consequence to anyone but you.

            I'm sure you realized that the people Dr. Atkins had on Induction for 6 months were patients of his ... and I'm sure that your doctor approves your decision.

            Really ... people have been successful doing what you're doing.

            People have "failed", too.

            I'm sure you know the risks of staying on Induction too long. I'm sure you've weight the risks and made the best decision for you.

            That's what we all do.

                Good job kevin ....You have done great. I have so much to lose so reading great results like yours gives me sso much encouragement & makes me believe I can do it too. I intend to stay in ongoing maintainace as well as long as I continue to lose weight if I stall then I will look at moving up the rungs but I say if it aint broke why fix it.

                          You go Kevin! Stay on induction as long as you need it!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! You are having great success doing induction, why change just now?? You have done a fabulous job and can add some carbs back when you lose ALL the weight you need. I have been doing induction (due to diabetes) for 6 months and have lost over 40 pounds and controlled my blood sugars with no ill effects. There are plenty of low carb foods to eat. Good Luck to you!!

                            Socalkevin you are doing great man, keep it up. I also feel that some posters here are certainly negative. Like if someone is having great success they say oh so when will you move up to OWL. This is a bunch of crap and negative energy which makes this board always look ugly, horribly failing in the support of other members, condescending in their words and or jealousy of others accomplishments. I can barely come to this site anymore because of the negativity of some of the posters. I have lost 23 pounds and have no desire at this moment to change anything. Keep going Socalkevin
