  • My name is Matt and Im fat.

    Well I read some where on here that I should post in here so here it goes.

    My name is Matt and recently I gained a lot of weight returning from a deployment onboard a US aircraft carrier. The food is so aweful and when I returned I started packing on the pounds. I've done atkins before and I know it really works.

    The only problem I have with WOE is getting enough fat in my diet and eating too much cheese. I'm glad to be back and I look forward to hanging out with you guys on the interweb.

    Right now im at 208 I started induction 4 days ago and I've lost 2 pounds so far. Mostly water I'm sure but hey, its a start. My goal weight is 180.

        Thanks for the support! What is the Atkins Bootcamp deal? What does it entail?

          hmm lets see if i can explain
          it is like if there is a boot camp starting any time soon there will be a notice (thread) wher u can get the form ,u submit it to the person they tell u(u pm it)
          and if u are accepted in u have to follow induction strictly* with some daily tasks including exercise and all,and after 14 days if u pass,(no one fails i guess,but the ones who dont fulfill the requirments) and u get the certificate that u passed,i hope i ddnt make it sound boring it is really fun,look forward to it,u gonna love it i bet!

            Welcome Matt!

            Good for you for trying to get ahold of the monstor before it gets out of hand, like many of us here have done. I'm new here too, but waited until I was a lot further over the weight hill than you are... and I have seen that there were others even worse than me, and they've had great success. I'm sure you will too.

            I'm not starting induction until Jan 1st because of all the holiday stress that's already around. But, I'm looking forward to starting and checking in here and reporting progress.

            Please keep everyone here posted as to your progress! Again, best of luck to you in reaching your goals!

            Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

            Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                During the week I run, do push-ups and sit-ups every morning but without dieting I wasn't really dropping any weight. With the holidays Ive been slacking off on the exercise. Starting on the 2nd I should be back on my daily routine.

                When I run I usually go between 1.5 miles and 2.5 miles which not to far. On the weekends I tend to relax a bit more. Too much exercise causes me to get straining headaches.

                    I have the awesome DR. Atkins Diet Revolution Fourth Edition 1974 (Before they added "New" in the title)! I need to go and get a new one. I read it several years ago. I will be picking up the newest one in a couple of days.
