Atkins Induction
Moose13:
Congrats Ark. I'm on it for 4 weeks now, and I'm losing as well, but not at the rate you lost.
I'm down 29lbs, or I guess about 2 stone, in 4 weeks.
This is the 2nd go around on this diet for me. I did it about 12 years ago, and lost 40 in 2 months. Yeah I gained it back in about 7-8 years, but what do you expect when you go back to eating like a fat slob.
I want to lose about 25 more wich would put me at 215 or so. I hear ya when you said that the chocolate made you sick...you can't go crazy back on carbs in one day. It'll just keep you sitting on the bowl all day. It goes right through you.
I'm eating grilled chicken with brocolli, spinach or asparagus for most of my meals, with occasional red meat thrown in.
I'm not running/walking as much as you. I do walk a bit more to/from work. I get off the train a few stops early, get on a few stops later.
But most of my workouts come from, your gonna laugh.....Wii fit. I do about an hour a day, mostly the aerobics and jogging in place. I hope to start getting out of the house and jog some real terrain, instead of running in place in my basement. 6 miles would eb a bit much for me, I figure I'll start with 1/2 that. I think I'm going at a pretty good pace.
This all came from a bet at the local bar. Six guys $100 in, winner take all. Nothing like a little incentive to take the weight off. I'm in the lead by about 8 pounds or so. The contest ends Thanksgiving.

I still haven't tried Wii Fit. I want to buy it for my niece so I can try it, but I can't find it anywhere.
Ummon:
The format doesn't really matter. It's the exercise you're getting - though certainly some are better than others. Still, some is better than none.
Chocolate is a total 'depends' thing. (Um, no, don't think that.) Some people just can't handle chocolate; but a lot of it is full of sugar and other junk.
Sounds like you already have some good vegies there, ark, though it's hard to have enough so more should be good, too. No, pizza isn't anything like even eating starchy vegies like summer squash. The latter is still alkaline, whereas pizza is all acid.
