Sounds like a lot to lose from a relatively low starting weight - heavier people lose faster.

What height are you? i.e. is 137lbs a reasonable target for your height?

137lbs would be OK for your height, although it is on the low side.

Your body might let you get there, but aim for an average of 1-2lbs per week, and then you won't be disappointed?!

South Beach is very easy to follow, less strict than Atkins and easier to keep to.
In the short term, you will probably lose more on Atkins.


All the best!
