Hi Everyone,

I did the Body for Life program religiously for 12 weeks last fall. I gained a lot more muscle but did not loose much weight.

My doctor advised me to try Atkins at my yearly check-up on 1/3/03 due to family heart disease and high cholesterol (288). My doctor has been on it for 8 months and lost 40 lbs!!

I purchased the book over the weekend and started induction on 1/6/03. I have lost 9 lbs as of yesterday am!!

Also, I know a friend who lossed 90 lbs on this program.

Hi, from a fellow Husker! (I lived in Bellevue just outside of Omaha in the late 80s early 90s. Father was at Offutt, AFB)
So hows the weather there?

Its great you did the BFL! I admire anyone who can do that!
I'm just starting at the gym so I'm not quite ready for that.
You are so lucky to have a doctor suggest Atkins, I had to go through three doctors to find one who would at least monitor my process.

Hope you start a journal and find inspiration for our board.
Welcome aboard!

Minus 4 degrees this am in Huskerland!!
