Trying to beat my old record...

My sister-in law was told by her doctor to lose weight or she would die 15 years ago. She was three times her current body weight.
That lady worked like she was on a mission and dumped more weight than I could possibly imagine and kept it off to this day.
When your doctor tells you to get rid of the weight, you take notice. If your wife/partner/family says anything about weight loss you can (I did) get upset and ignore it.
That is why time is definitely important. Time to realize and get rid. Quick. Do it slow and you will be back putting more pounds on and getting depressed.
Some people cannot afford to visit the doctor, that is why the time factor to lose weight is crucial. Like my next door neighbor who was in his late 50s, and a real porker. He died of a heart attack getting his morning paper.
My weight loss wasn't medically incentive, but when I started having difficulty sleeping, and my legs and feet were in constant pain, I knew I didn't need a doctor to tell me. :o

Well I kept on my Atkins Induction diet as I described previously and the weight came off.
When I started five weeks or so ago I was pushing 285. I looked in the mirror in despair. I had to get my game on and shed it quick.
I stepped on the scales this morning and I have reached the first part of my goal. 231 lbs. :woot
I have started to plateau and I have not lost weight dramatically as in previous weeks as I figured that my body caught on to my shenanigans.
I have started to change my exercise regime and look at reducing my intake of protein and increase the amount of water I am consuming.
I am considering doing the cold water diet which seems safe enough, but I have consulted some friends that have tried the water fasting method.
If I do not see any change in weight loss in the next week or so, I shall go on the vitamin and water diet for a week to see if I can shift any more weight. I'm not looking forward to fiber-gel....
When I can get to 200lbs I can resume Atkins Induction again and bring it down to 180lbs. I'll be happy then. :cheers:

Go to a nutritionist, get a weight trainer to keep the weight off.
To keep the weight off you need to change your life.
You can't expect to diet, get off the diet and not balloon back up.
good luck to everyone.
