Howdy,
My name is Joe ... some call me Curly Joe...
I started on Monday. It's my second go 'round. I did this 4-5 years ago and lost 32 down to 218 lbs. I stayed below 230 for 2 yrs then drank beer and ate my way up to 261 as of last Friday. I have been thinking about doing Atkins again since about 250 and 261 was the kicker. My goal is 220 then continuing down to 200. I long for 36" pants.... I'm 6'1 and 37 years young.
I think much more about health at this age and know that if I dont make a change in my life now health wise I will end up 300+ lbs and have a heart attack. This is the most serious I have ever been about being healthy.
My plan is to stay on induction for 3-4 weeks then switch to OWL. After 6 days I feel great, have not had the flu, minimal flour and sugar cravings, and have lost 4-5 lbs. One of the things I feel I need to work on is to decrease the amount of meats I am eating - I feel I still am addicted to food.
I have a post over at the menu forum - lets compare menus. I could use some help.
Good luck to all of you! - I plan to post pictures and get one of those tracker graph thingamajiggers soon.
