70 lbs in 7 months. Lots of ups and downs. All my fault. Could be further along if i had more will power. But i am happy, and it is working to this day. Congrats to all of you
I had to go back to my First journal book of 2004 to see my stats. Beginning July 7th. Second time of doing Atkins, this time correctly and with the book. My weight at that time was 334. After the first four weeks of Induction- I lost 19 pounds and 9 inches. 2nd month I lost 11 1/2 pounds and 14 1/2 inches. 3rd month, 9 1/2 pounds gone and 9 3/4 inches. 4th month, 14 1/2 pounds gone and 15 1/2 inches. 5th month 9 1/2 pounds gone and 13 3/4 inches. 6th month, No Loss/ No gain 7th month, 18 pound gone and 7 1/4 inches 8th month, 7 1/2 pounds gone and 3 3/4 inches 9th month, 6 pounds gone and 6 inches 10th month, 5 pounds gone and 4 1/4 inches A total of 100.5 pounds and 83 3/4 inches gone forever. Reaching 228 pounds in ten months.
Back in 2000 I weighed 374 and had heard about Atkins and was just doing it by here-say and lost 40 pounds. I can only go by my clothing size to know the inches lost for I hadn't taken measurements back then. But I can say that I wore a size 4X and a size 56 G bra. So i'm sure the inches lost are over 100 inches. Also a total of 146 pounds gone forever. Last I checked i was at 232 lbs. (11 days ago) and I now where a size 16 clothing (large). My lowest weight on Atkins was 219, and at goal in 2006. I have hypothyroidism (low thyroid) and have issues of keeping my thyroid levels up. Which occassionally causes weight gain. All in all, I have managed to keep the weight off. Along with losing weight, I reversed my Type-2 Diabetes, 47 days into Extended Induction, stablized my blood pressure after 10 months and now have a much healthier blood chemistry, all at healthy levels. Also kicking many medications, for these once health issues, to the curb. Atkins is my lifestyle and will be for life.

I have lost 27 pounds (as of today woohooo!) in 9 weeks. After the first 2 weeks I've been averaging 2 pounds per week. Last week I stayed the same but this week I lost 4.
I have lost 43lbs in 4 months and six days. I would lose three lbs+ at first now I lose about 1.5 to 2lbs a week. I don't have my inches data with me but I know I have lost 5 inches in my waist
all told....77 pounds, 3 to go!!! i have also lost a total of OVER 70 inches!!!!
this has been over time, with small gains and losses along the way. i am the poster child for the saying "weight loss is NOT linear" but it all adds up to LOSS.
if anyone had ever told me when i was 220 pounds that i could weigh in at my college weight AND wear a size 6...i would have called them a liar. atkins WORKS. exercise WORKS. hard work and persistance pays off in a BIG way! all of you keep up the good work.

I have lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. This is a first for me with Atkins to be so successful so quickly. I am terrified that it's all a dream and it's going to stall out.
I have another 20 or 30 to go, so I am roughly a third of the way there.
First off.. I want to congratulate ALL of you on the amazing weight loss's!!! WOW.. AWESOME!!
As for myself.. I have lost 47lbs and over 50 inches all together in 4 months. I am now officially 1/2lb under my halfway to goal mark! I was wearing 2X-4X (shirts) now mostly larges depending on the cut/style sometimes a med or an x-large.. pants use to be a BBW 21 now I am wearing a size 14 that's getting to be too big on me.
We all have reasons to be proud and to encourage others that it can be done.
I am down almost 25 lbs in 7 and a half weeks... almost two months. 20 of it being by the 5th week, so obviously things have slowed down a bit! It's ok though... as long as I'm losing...
Weight loss currently on hold! Baby due 11/22/09
Weight loss goal: 160 lbs
Re-starting early next year sometime
