Well I am at it again, and after a serious chat with the doctor I have been told to lose weight. It was either that or losing sight and early death the nasty way. :o That wakes you up. So, last month I weighed in at 352 pounds. Under a month later I am 291, which is more than I lost last time I tried Atkins. :woot I have lost three pant sizes, and can now run on the treadmill without passing out. But when the pounds drop off, you feel that you have more energy. I have more clothes to wear and I am not stuck in the Big & Tall department. Yes it hurt, yes I miss my weekly diet of In&Out Burger (which I now have the burger plain protein style), yes it messes with your mind. Yes it is really hard. But by Christmas I plan to get my ultimate present: 200 lbs. I cheated a bit, as the doc gave me a pill used for people who are trying to quit smoking, which suppresses hunger for some unknown reason. Now I am not hungry anymore and I can go a whole week eating less than 18 carbs. The doc believes in Atkins, which is a shocker as the rest of the medical community freaks out when I tell them. The best part is that the weight is keeping off and slowly going down with more exercise. Try it: Breakfast - Bacon/Ham and eggs Lunch - Chicken salad. Dinner - Chicken and Veg. No wine or beer. Snack - two cheese sticks or turkey slices. Water (2 liters a day minimum) no diet drinks, two cups of coffee. No fruit or starchy foods. I do 40 minutes alternating walking and running each day. I find it more challenging and it works. Summer is practically over. Time to be ready for next summer, slim and strong. No $20 either this time PBJ. ;D The most important part of the diet: You have to WANT TO do it. What is your favorite weight loss success story ? |

Eh not much works for me. I already eat everything plain, no butter, condiments, ect. I did stop drinking pop a month or two ago. I've lost 10 pounds so far drinking nothing but water. |

Ephedra. I was 165 with abs when that stuff was legal. It's what they give people on Biggest Loser in addition to pain meds. I've tried Phentermine, but it makes me want to start a road rage incident. |

Congratulations! I was following along with interest but you lost me at the "no beer" part. |

I went from 275 to 175 a few years ago, mainly using the Wii Fit, then gym exercise. Got back up to around 250, but now have dropped to 225. Want to hit 200 as well. |
