I lost 101 pounds last year on Atkins, am at 35 for this year so far. I got slowed down by being out of town because of an illness in my family, and couldn't keep the 5 mini-meals a day that helps me. But I'm baaaaack, and am losing at the former rate - about 2 lbs per week, which is about what Docs want to see you lose. Anymore than that, and it makes them nervous about bone loss, kidney damage, protein loss, all those good things!

Ask me any questions you might have. I'll try to answer them.

Also, the Bush Babes had a weight loss group - we were meeting on Sunday nights, to encourage and "weigh-in". Don't think we are doing it any more. Most of the ladies lost what they wanted.

Check out this thread on the same study. It's full of anecdotes, testimonies, information from longtime/shortime Atkinsers. And a spattering of dumb posts, easily skippable.

My whole family doing Atkins and it is the first diet that works for us. Each of us have lost over 25 pounds of fat in four months. I am 73 years old 6' 2" and weighed before starting at 243 and now weigh 210. My goal is 205 which will put me at about 15% fat to lean. I never go hungry and the side effects are many. Remember the three legged stool of exercise,supplements and low carbs. Go to www.atkinscenter.com for help and support.

OK, now I have a question. I'm ill today, some kind of stomach upset and pounding head. The thought of eating meat and vegetables makes me nauseated. What I want is something really bland, like chicken noodle soup. But, there's a ton of carbs in it. What to do, what to do.
