Re: Err somethings really not right.....

I checked the math and something seems a little off here. If you started at 540 and want to lose 315 pounds to get to 225, then your weight loss does seem too rapid. According to the "during induction you'll lose 5-10% of the total amount you want to lose" rule, you should have lost about 31 or 32 pounds using the 10% figure and half that using the 5% figure.

In the original post, he says that he lost 45 pounds in 5 weeks, not 2.

So I'm sure he probably lost 16-32 pounds or thereabouts in the first 2, considering how fast he dropped those subsequent 7.

The math still seems right on to me!

I just wanted to chime in here to say congrats on doing this on your own without surgery. More of us super heavyweights should give Atkins a try before risking our lives on the operating table. There are many folks here who have gotten to goal from the 400's without surgery, so it can be done.

I know that you haven't mentioned anything about GBS, but I just wanted to say that I think it is commendable you aren't doing it even though you most likely qualify.

Keep up the good work!!
