Right now my weight is 209.44 lb and my goal weight is 160.6 lb I wish to reach this weight ASAP but the problem that I'm too lazy so I don't do any exercises so is that's ok or not?
Guys I want to ask you how many weeks I need to reach my goal weight as your experience

And finally I'm so glad to join this forum.

Welcome to our forum. Great to have you here.
Well it is hard to say how long things take. It is very much individualistic. I worked about 2 years to get to my goal and I am still doing Atkins because if I start eating like a crazy person I will start balooning up again.

This is about being healthy - so eat those veggies, take some vits, drink clean water, and start thinking about some exercise that may interest you. I suggest you try. You may find that you are lazy because you are eating too much sugars. Once you get rid of those a new you may be in there. A slim, healthy, trimmed new you.

Welcome to ADBB!

Success is making Atkins a lifestyle, which is what Dr. Atkins intended it to be. So you do not "complete" Atkins.

I'm too lazy so I don't do any exercises so is that's ok or not?

Not. Exercise is mandatory on Atkins. Dr. Atkins wrote that if we're not exercising, we're not following his plan.

My experience won't tell you or me how many weeks you will need to reach goal.

Besides, Atkins is not a race, nor a quick fix.

I think you haven't read the book. The links below will give you the basic information you need to start. However, they are not a substitute for the book (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, 2002).

Welcome to the board!

Just be patient and stick to the plan. The time isn't that important, your health is. I know I want it all off now too but I've also learned that my body does it's own thing and I have to just stop trying to make it do what it won't. Being content is better than being skinny. At least, that's the way I see it.
