257 down to 226.But the way my clothes fit doesn't give 31 lbs justice.Tee's that I couldn't get on now are hanging on me.42 pants that barely fastened have give away to 38's which are loose.Only lost 1 lb last week but prob gave up a 1/2 inch in waist.Couldn't be happier with results.Enjoying my food selections on induction and have no plans to move up anytime soon.Found a old transcript of Atkins on Larry King show many years ago.Very interesting comparison to later diet changes.Not as easy to adapt to but probably was able to sell a lot more books with latter changes.Regardless, I am on VLC permamently.Heading to the track for my 4 mile walk.Good luck to all.

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
Congrats to you!! Nothing is better than being able to see so many changes yourself!! Pounds down, inches gone and clothes that remind you of a tent! That's really nice. The exercise helps you tremendously, I'm sure. Great for you!! Keep going!

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
What sort of things were different in the original book/diet/revolution? Or could you share the transcript?
Thanks,

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
Didn't keep the link but you should be able to google larry king live dr atkins interview.Just more emphasis on maintaining a lifetime of LC eating.Little more stricter than later book.I would think both ways would work as long as you don't pass that invisible line of too many carbs.Problem with me is if I do pass it, hunger returns and I'm off to the races.Very hard to get back.Comment

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
Phil, I don't know how tall you are, but I have some good news for you. I am 5'11, and started at 241 wearing 38's. I am at 198 now and my 34's are loose enough that I'm looking into getting some 32's soon. I have only lost 3 pounds in the two weeks since I went to 34's, and the pounds don't come off as quickly as you approach a goal weight, but the inches don't seem to be stopping. You are on the right path for sure. Bet I see you in Wonderland by summer.

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
Phil, excellent work! You must feel great having 31 pounds gone! You'll be able to wear those jeans you mentioned before you know it. Keep it up. It's a very good thing that you're exercising, too.
Kudos to you!Kristine

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
Good work!!! It is amazing to hear the progress we make on Atkins! I return to this board after over four years just to remind myself of how far we have all come and it doesn't get old. For me, the weight loss was great, but coming off from diabetic medications and blood pressure pills (medically supervised, of course) was the "gravy".
When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

Re: seven weeks of induction completed today
it's all about little victories, im in a LARGE scrub instead of the XL's i normally wear...unfortunately i dont have that many larges as they never really fit, so i have to wear the big ones half the time, and i looks silly cause they're much too big now. : ) but it makes me smile.Comment
