  • Anyone around 150 pounds?

    Hi everyone,

    I currently weight 150 pounds and i am on my first day on atkins, well I did it late last year, only induction and lost about 10 pounds...I want to do it properly this time around!
    However, this time I am finding it so incredibly difficult to get motivated. Is there anyone around the same weight as me and has been on the diet for a couple of months? I'm curious to know how much weight you have lost and how long it took.
    I understand it varies from person to person, im just looking for some motivation i suppose!

    Thank you all in advance, this website is going to help me so much to stay focused!

    I started the Atkins diet January 09 weighing in at 170 pounds and am happy to say that today I weigh in at 133! Woot! I can taste the 120's

      I started 3/5/09 at 148 lbs, 5'7". Within a week I dropped five pounds (water, certainly, but I'll take it!), and about seven weeks in I'm down to 138. My waist went from 28" to 26.25", and my hips went from 40" to 38.25". At the start I was snug in my vanity size sixes, and now I'm a comfortable four. The muffin top is GONE and my belly is smooth and flat.

      So, YAY. Please forgive me if any of this sounds like bragging, but I'm feeling pretty great and she wanted motivation!

      I usually eat 35-40 carbs a day but sometimes go up to 60 if I'm in a big veggie mood.

        How funny! I am 150 lbs and starting today as well. At 5'9'' 150 is not super heavy, so it is hard for me to get motivated. I will lose 5 pounds, and then gain it back. I want to be 135 so I am trying atkins. hopefully it will work for the both of us. I am having such a hard time getting motivated. ugh.

          I love to look fashionable and even sexy to a certain extent.

          But, throughout all this, I also love to enjoy life, and that includes food and drinks and so I do Atkins in such a way as to enjoy it. That is important to me. I love tasty food and nutritious food so I work hard to combine everything. It means the weight loss is not rapid. I don't like rapid weight loss, rapid weight loss means to me hair loss, feeling weak, feeling grouchy... no thank you. I have been there and done that ... several times over the years. I like a slow but steady pace personally.
