Re: Determined Atkineer

My advice and answer to your question is to focus on what SIZE you want to get to by a certain date, rather than what weight you want to be. Invariably on Atkins we lose a lot of inches and sometimes the scale doesn't change as fast as the tape measure. So for example, right now at 200 lbs, I can wear a size 14, which I used to not be able to wear for another 15 lbs or so.

So if you want to fit into something special by Christmas, focus on that. Don't even bother with the scale!
