Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004I need to hear a success story as I am thinking of starting the diet.
Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet). Can any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long please? http://kragness1.home.comcast.net/lowcarb/ My progress: http://kragness1.home.comcast.net/lowcarb/history.jpg -Scott 213/163/160 > Hi.

Has anyone told you you look like Kevin Spacey? Priscilla >Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet). Can >any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long please? I started on July 4 2003 and am down 44 pounds. I have not weighed for several days because I do it very infrequently so that I can concentrate on following the Atkins plan rather than on the day to day fluctuations in weight. I have found this group very helpful. Ask whatever questions you have here. Get the Atkins book and follow it. Good luck. Greg in Cincinnati 308/264/200 Atkins since 7/4/03 I started in March '03 and have lost 52 pounds. The key to my sucess was in doing the following things: 1. I decided that I WAS going to get down to my ideal weight. 2. I began using www.fitday.com because ... if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. 3. I set up weekly goals for calorie/fat/carb/protein intake and checked my goals daily against the www.fitday.com reports. If I slipped up one day, I made the necessary corrections the next day. I lived in a "day tight compartment". If I made mistakes one day, I took corrective action the next day BUT I DID NOT try to make up for caloric or gram errors ... I just corrected my actions so it would not happen again the next day. Each new day was a new start and all was forgiven for the day before. 4. I only checked my weight once a week. 5. I set CHANGING THE WAY I EAT as my primary goal and reaching my ideal weight as my secondary goal. 6. I supplemented my diet with Atkins Basic 3 and Atkins Essential Oils ($22/month total) in case the low-carb diet was causing deficiencies in any vitimin, mineral or essential fatty acid area. 7. Most importantly, I NEVER allowed myself to go hungry ... EVER !!! It worked ... and it is working!!! Good Luck! I highly recommend the low-carb approach.

Can > any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long please? There are plenty of people here that have lost tons of weight (pun intended:) including myself. I went from a size 22 down to a size 10 and have kept it off, even thru the holidays, for the last 3 months. There are a lot of interesting stories on the Atkins website too. Just click on http://atkins.com/advice/success-stories.html I have recently been inspired by George and Rachel Stella on the Food Network too. http://www.lowcarbchefs.com/ http://www.foodtv.com/food/show_sp/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9994_29410,00.html Nancy J > Hi.

The hardest part for me was changing what I automatically ate when I was hungry. This took about a month of reworking my menu. Now, I eat the right things by default and feel weird when I cheat. 59 pounds in 6 months with no huge exercise program, just walks when the weather is nice. I'll never do high carb again. I've gone from a 44 waste to a 36. I'm now wearing the size pants I wore in high school 15 years ago. I've also gone from a 3xlt/2xlt shirt to lt. brian 290/231/210 July 8, 2003 I've lost over 30 lbs in about 4 months on low carb.. My progress is at http://duane.servebeer.com/lowcarb It works. Duane 216/186/176 I consider myself a success even though I still want to lose 25 pounds. I started at 250 on July 3, 2001, and I now weigh 175. I am 74 years old, probably the oldest one here, and I do not go out of my way to exercise. I went from a size 24 to a 14. If I can do it anyone can because during my life I have tried just about every diet that came along, and always regained the weight plus more. I would probably lose faster if I exercised, but for now I am enjoying wearing the smaller size clothes. I am still losing even though it is very slowly. I love this way of eating because you do not feel you just have to have something more to eat all the time. It leaves you very satisfied. I live in Las Vegas most of the year and go out to the buffets at least 3 times a week. I am never tempted by the huge dessert bars, just eat all the meat and fish I want, along with some salad and veggies. Good luck and stay with it. Sometimes you will come to a halt but you always will start losing again if you persevere. Julia 250/175/150 > Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet).

My wife and I have been on a low carb diet since November 1st and have lost a combined 51 pounds. And, I might add, this was through Thanksgiving and Christmas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, I didn't expect so many replies in such a short time! Thanks a lot guys. Well, from reading your stories, it looks like it works, I just needed to hear it from real people rather than reading stories on web sites promoting the diet and seeing them on TV. I will definitely start a low carb diet. Well done to all of you as well for the weight loss, I will hopefully be joining your ranks in a few months. > Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet). Can > any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long please? Have lost 63lbs in just over six months. Started at 300lbs on 9 June, and am now 237. Have gone down from wearing a 28/30 (UK) to a 22/24 (UK). -- Lexin (300/237/182) I'm 65. One day I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I started Low Carb in April and slowly lost a total of 42 lbs as of today. I've started exercising 3 times a week at a local health club - never exercised before - and I feel great. I've given away a ton of clothes and I walk right by the plus sizes. I can't wait to go out and be with people and live a new life. I lowered my cholesterol from 258 to 183. I plan to stay on low carb until I"ve lost at least 60 lbs. I"m never hungry In response to Deckard's post: > Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet). > Can any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long > please? Over 40 lbs. lost in three months. SignatureStephen S. 331 / 287.3 / 220 <- as of 7 Jan. 04 LC since 28 Sept. 03 http://dragonfen.com/diet -------------------------------- I started Atkins on 9/1/2003 and have lost 67 pounds so far...and feel great. JJ. > Hi. I am thinking of starting a low carb diet (like the Atkins diet). Can > any body here tell me how much weight they lost and in how long please? Hi, first of all congratulations on researching this amazing way of life and thinking about giving it a try! I have been LCing since August 18, 2003 and as of this morning have lost 51 lbs. It is a very easy program to follow and I think you will find that once you start there is no way you will want to go back to your old ways. Good luck in whatever you decide to do and I hope to see you on this board joining us in the future. Best Wishes!!! Janet 262/211/160 August 2003 > Hi.

Thanks a lot to the people who have posted more replies. Every time I come back here I get more encouragement, and more confidence in the knowledge that this works. I haven't read the Atkins Diet book or anything, but I have started eating low carb. After looking into it, I think eating high carb food is definitely the reason I have not been loosing weight whilst "dieting" over the past years I have tried. I used to eat things like tuna or banana sandwiches for dinner every day, and a lot of pasta or rice dishes for tea thinking they would help me loose weight as they were low in fat. If I was hungry in the evening, I would eat bread or have another sandwich. I have now made sure that there is no bread rice or pasta in the house. I have stocked up on eggs to snack on, and I eat the tuna without the bread. My next step is to look into all the low carb foods available. >Thanks a lot to the people who have posted more replies.

My next step is to look >into all the low carb foods available. Well you *do* have the Atkins website to refer to even if you have not read the book yet. I lost 65 pounds in 7 months. Toward the end, as my weight loss started to taper off, I began to consciously cut calories as well. You really should read the book...
