The difference is amazing - and so fast!

Did you stick to straight induction for the entire 8 weeks or did you modify it at all (eg. cut out eggs or cheese)?

I stuck to induction for 8 weeks. and by "stuck" i mean really really stuck. no cheating whatsoever.

and i went to the gym 3-4x/week (I still do) and all in all it really helped.

I'm going to keep you success in the back of my mind for motivation.

I'm at the end of the dreaded week 3. First two weeks lost 16 pounds, third week - nothing. Do you remember what your weight loss was like in week 3? I'm also sticking to strict induction with no cheating or bending any rules.

Do you do both cardio and resistance at the gym? Did you go to the gym at all before starting Atkins?

I really appreciate your input - as a successful BIG LOSER.

Thanks

I'm afraid I can't remember the exact weight loss figures during the weeks. I wasn't actually weighing myself, I was just noticing massive changes in clothes size. And i remember hitting a plateau (did I spell that right?) at some time and then losing more weight afterwards.

I never went to the gym at all before atkins.

at the gym I'd have 2 kind of "days"
1\ the long day: 10 minutes cross trainer, 20 minutes uphill treadmill, 10 minutes rowing machine. followed by 20-30 reps on those (express gym) things that tone your muscles. I did more reps on the abdo crunch thing
2\ short day: half all the above (alot more pleasant)

I alternated between long and short days

I haven't been to the gym for the last 2 months (damn post grad exams, nearly over) but have thankfully maintained the same weight

good luck!

please note that the above gym plan was totally invented by me, and has no scientific basis and is most probably a pile of **** if you ask someone who knows about training. so perhaps get a trainer or make your own.... either way excerise and drink LOTS of water

You are quite handsome.

Hi all
been a while since I've posted in ADBB. I started the diet May this year, but never thought of posting pics till now

here's me before the diet: weighing 118kg (260 pounds)



and after losing the 50 pounds: weighing 95kg (210 pounds)

The picture below I took 2 days ago wearing the same t-shirt as the before pic



And if I could lose weight on Atkins, anyone can

Good luck!

Re: 8 weeks, 50 pounds less (260 to 210)

You are looking great. One thing is for sure, nothing works as well as Atkins does... it's the easiest to stick with and the most satisfying plan. You are looking great.
