    Hello from Oz

    Hi to all!

    Very exciting to find this great BB re the ATkins Diet (it's not a diet though - it's a new lifestyle). Have been on it 7 weeks and lost 16 kgs (35lbs), I reckon it's the best thing since sliced bread.

    I gained weight after an injury to both Achilles tendons left me unable to walk for exercise. Put on lots of weight between inury and operation and then couldn'y get it off.

    I was up to 108 kg (238 lbs) on a 170 cm (5'7") frame. It was horrible!
    After finding an Atkins book in the cheapie bin at the supermarket, I lost 11 kg on Induction and haven't looked back. Am signing up for a gym this week and expect to get down to 60kg (132.5lb) by June next year.

    I lost 11kg or 25.4lbs in 14 days on Induction!
    131 kg (HW/est SW)/ 104.3 (CW)/ 63 (GW)
    288.5 lbs / 223.5 / 138 (1kg = 2.202 lbs)

      Welcome! I only know a wee bit about Australia - my BIL was over there for almost 2 years studying marine life. He said that Australia has the most different kinds of poisonous species than any other continent and that you have to check under your car before getting in it - even on a short trip to the grocery store - lest some poisonous lizard or crock "parks" under it to surprise you!

          Ahh...Australia! I love that place! Was there back in 1990 and loved it.

          Nice to meet you and I'm sure you will love this place! They are very friendly and supportive here and I think you will feel the positive energies throughout these forums and this board!

            Greetings from England! To all of the Ozzies!

            I love you country, I was there for 2.5 weeks earlier this year (at Easter) and what a fantastic place.

            Whilst there I did what has to be the most invigorating thing I have ever done! I climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge!

            A steal for only AU$ 160!

            It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




            I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!
