Re: Hey Buddies!!!
Hi Sassy1:
I'm on induction. This coming Monday will be my second week. Thanks for welcoming me into the Buddie room.
Atkins is great but this forum has given me insight into areas I never would have had the time to figure it out on my own. I have no clue how much I've lost already, but I started out at ~245 lb and I figure I'm around 228 by now.
The real cool thing about the AD is that I'm eating like a maniac and shedding fat at an incredible rate. My lean mass has increased by about 10 lb. My body fat when I started was at 32% + and the last time I calipered myself was down to 26.9%. My goal is 11-15% fat range but weighing between 185-195 lb. I've always worked out like a beast but the last 3-4 years I've been busy doing research. I never had a chance to get back into bodybuilding.
Anyway, thanks Sassy1,
Norman

sounds like you are doing great already, keep updating us often on your progress.
and it's my pleasure to welcome new people to our sweet lil pad here! 
I think Atkins is terrific myself, but I know different things work for different people. It sure would appear that Atkins is working very well for you!! To have lost almost 20lbs in 2 weeks.. 
WOW.. that's awesome! 
I know for myself I like to weight in once a week and take my measurements once a month, but everyone finds there own system that works for them. Did you take a before picture? It's great to find a new way of eating that allows you to have fatty meats and such, to eat often, and still be able to lose weight! I wish you great success and look forward to seeing more updates from you.
so now I can't say I've lost 50lbs.. I'm at 48lbs however.. my inches have gone down! I have lost in total 54 inches and 48lbs. This is the first time ever that my loss of inches has been higher than my pounds lost. Weird! My dh says it's due to gaining muscle which weights more than fat?? I was so ANGRY after I got of the scale, that was until I decided to start trying on clothes! LOL.. I modeled for my dh for almost 3 hours 
Woohoo.. I had some serious fun! I discovered many items of clothes not only fit now that didn't, but alot of them are too big! Cool! So for the month that I've been back on track here, I've lost 8lbs and 12 inches. You should come walking with me! My walking gets sweat results 
The people here are awesome! I look forward to getting to know you better and to sharing in your journey with you.

hopefully will be able to get some food in so arent stuck for options.
It's wonderful to see our list of buddies growing! 
This is a great place to come and share how your days are going, to come and get support, advice, share in ideas, or to lend support to another, etc. It's a wonderful place to hang out. We're glad to have you here and I look forward to sharing in your journey. Congrats on the huge weight loss so far! You should be proud. 
As for what's achievable, all you can do is try your hardest and the out come should pay off with great results. You had better get the right foods though, or you could run into a brick wall. I hope you're having a great visit at your parents place.
I'm very happy to report that I'm down 4lbs! 
That brings me to my lowest weight as of yet! I'm now 173lbs.. wooohooo It's hard to believe that another 4lbs lost will have me in the 160's 
(not that I wasn't exercising; I was walking) and I really notice my energy level has suffered. Plus, my knees are beginning to hurt again. SO ... back to the gym THIS week. I mean it
