Re: Just curious if I may ask...How long did it take

My first time on Atkins I lost 50 pounds in just under 5 months (but I was only 25 then)and I kept it off for years. When I started back on this time I came to the quick realization that my bodies age is telling me NO NO I WON'T LOSE AGAIN! My weight loss has been much slower. It took me 7 months to lose the 20 or so pounds I lost at the beginning of this year. I lost 6.5 during this induction...but have not lost anything since (almost 3 weeks).

What you lose will depend highly on how committed you are to this WOE...and don't make the same mistake many do by getting close to goal, ditching the plan, gaining it all back (and then some) just to have to lose it all over again (my weight gain was from pregnancy).

>>you to loose 50 lbs?>>

Almost two years.

However, that's all I had to lose though.

And ... you should NEVER compare your weight loss to anyone else's.

Your body will lose the way it will lose.

Remember ... it's not really about the losing ... it's about maintaining the weight loss. That's the real battle!

It took me just under 4 months to lose the first 50 but I had a lot to lose, I was also to lazy to exercise and did an extended induction. I lost a pretty consistent 3lbs a week after that right up to 80lbs then it slowed.

It took me just under 7 weeks to lose my first 50 pounds. Went into ketosis within 72 hours of starting. Then again I'm also 20 years old, so idk if that has a large effect.
