Hi everyone. I just wanted to share my recent success on Atkins with you. I started on August 19th at 6'3', 240 lbs. and a 40 to 41 waist.

Today it is November 25th. I'm consistently at 207-210 on the scale and the scale is still moving south. I just got back from Target to by new jeans. I am wearing a 36 waist as I type this - haven't been in a 36 since I left the Air Force in 2003.

You will lose weight eating this way. My next goal is 200!

Well done.

It works doesnt it!

Well done you

Yeah, for me it's the only thing that actually has been working and I am so amazed and chaffed, I am 200 gm away from my first goal so from the 19 September to today I have lost 10lb - going slow but I making steady progress

ColetteC, I am also a slow loser, but it's steady enough to keep me on track. It will probably be another year before I go above <20g per day. But this woe suits me so well, it isn't a chore!

Caroxx - thank you - I now know that I am not alone and there are others like me, I am enjoying it and it's become a lifestyle change.

Just an update - Today is February 18th, 2014. My weight this morning is 193.8 lbs.

Total weight loss: 46.2 lbs in six months. I am going to keep eating like this, and working out, and expect to lose even more. At this point I'm just wondering what a healthy stopping point is? I am afraid of going back to carbs and sugar (and don't really have any desire to) but I'm thinking if I lose another 20 lbs that could be a bit much at ~175.
