Hi Nutcase! Welcome to the ADBB!
Everyone is different with the amount of time it takes to release 16 pounds. Good luck with reaching your goal
Have you read the DANDR?
Remember Atkins isn't a quick fix, its a way of life.

welcome to ADBB and to ATKINS yep Atkins is a permanent change in your eating and exercising. Checkout the induction forums after you read your DANDR

Hi and welcome!

I have to agree with what LadyHawke and 2big have said. There's almost no way to know how long it will take any person to lose X number of pounds. It just depends on too many factors. The best thing is to just follow the plan exactly and TRUST that the pounds WILL melt off. This "diet" is a journey not only of weight loss but of discovering how your body reacts to certain foods, exercise, how much you need to eat to lose weight, how much you can eat to maintain, and more.

Best of luck to you, and welcome to ADBB!
