    I'm Back From 313 to 215lbs

    I ain't been around for a while. But here's the story. I had gotten down to about 227 lbs. Then I got stuck. I tried adjusting the diet. Less carbs, more carbs, different things. Moved onto OWL and then back to induction. Exercised more, but I was stuck between 230 lbs and 240 lbs. I got a little side tracked around Christmas and got back up to 250 lbs. Hit Induction hard again and got down to 240 lbs. Then I stalled again.

    I got to thinking, when I lifted weights alot and would not noticed any gains for a while, I'd radically switch up my routine. I think my body has just adapted to low carb that it figured out how to stabilize itself and not lose anymore. So I switched it up with my own bastardized version of the Slim Fast diet. I've been drinking two shakes a day, eating a Banquet TV dinner for supper, and some fruit and sugar free pudding for snacks. Been on this for about a month. I went from 240 lbs to 215 lbs in that time. I'm gonna stay on this until I stall again. Then switch back to Atkins.

    Here's some pics. Oh and BTW, I am now wearing a size 36 pants and a Large Shirt.

    Hiya Big Si and welcome back! I remember you well!

    I'm really happy you broke past the 240 mark and got all the way down to 215. That's awesome. Have to say though, that I'm not so sure about how healthy it is to juggle different ways of eating. I reckon that it might have taken longer on Atkins, but that you'd have got there all the same with perseverance.

    Anyway... your pics are great and you've been really successful. Kudos to you! We'll look forward to welcoming you back to Atkins for maintenance, which, of course, is for life!

            wow lookin good, glad you're losing the weight...but i don't know about those banquet dinners???drinks lots of water to offset all that sodium in those things and make sure there's no trans fat (even if they say zero grams in the nutrition info, check the ingredients for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil of any kind.) but you said you're going to get back to atkins again once you stall again....so that's good!

            25 lbs in a month you say? good for you!
