Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 200480 Pounds Lost
I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds lost. I still have a lot more to lose but this week I was able to weigh on my Doctor's scales something I haven't been able to do in my adult life. I know that seems like a little thing but it was really an important event for me. I started Atkins 1/1/03 was off and on it a lot in August I'd only lost 15 pounds. I got serious then I've been on induction since then. >I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds >lost.

Wow, Nancy! Congratulations! I'm looking at losing about 80 pounds, myself. You'll stand out as an inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing your success!

Losing 80 pounds is amazing. Take a look at something that weighs 80 pounds; hard to believe that much actually came off, huh? Being able to use the doctor's scale is certainly a milestone in itself!

COngrats, you've done great. >I got serious then I've been on induction since then. You should consider moving to Phase 2. Keeping carbs at 20 doesn't necessarily make you lose faster. If you read through posts you'll find people stalling a lot at induction levels. If you have a lot of weight you'll stall much less, but when you drop down you are likely to stall. Also some people after 6 months or more have their body adapt and they can even end up gaining weight at 20 carbs (like an Eskimo's metabolism). I started upping carbs almost 5 weeks ago. I do 2 weeks at each 5 gram increment now. I found the first week I bounce around a lot--including up. No biggie--by end of week I'm dropping fast to make up difference. I'm at 35g(2nd week) and I'm actually dropping weight slightly faster now than I did at Induction. The key is to find the most carbs with the best weight loss. This way you aren't starving your body of carbs--they aren't evil, just need to be moderated to your specific needs.

Losing enough weight to use the old scale is a wonderful thing. Congratulations! > I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds > lost.

That is amazing! Good for you. oh oh! you better watch out. Some of the "know it alls" here will say you are not suppose to be on induction for more then 2 weeks:) Don't you know that they wrote the book with Dr. Atkins (they are what you call silent partners:) > I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds > lost.

I just do not admit it and come out and say that. I am still at 20-25 carbs a day. Not a problem. Still losing. Last weekend, I binged, gained a couple pounds. Went to 241. Weighed in today. Guess what? Weighed in at 234!!! Like the whoosh fairy, that others talk about..:) I am going by the book. The book says you can stay in induction for up to 6 months. If you have alot to lose, then its good to stay low. When I go below 200, then maybe I will start adding in carbs. For now, whatever, doing what I feel is the best to do. > > I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds > > lost.

That is alot of weight loss Nancy! Good for you! Yeah!! I hope to lose as much also. When you post this kind of weight loss, it helps me and others to stay on track for sure! > I weighed today lost 4 pounds this week for a grand total of 80 pounds > lost.
