Hi Guys!

I thought I'd post my story. I was BIG on and off for years. I finally got to be about 310lbs on my 6' frame. That was a lot. I had tried Atkins before at the suggestion of a personal trainer - but I didn't read the book. Lost 30 lbs but popped it right back on. July 4th weekend 4 years ago, I sat down and read the book. I followed induction strictly and rode the wave down. I lost 50 lbs almost magically in about 6 weeks. I then kept at it - writing down my carb content each evening in a little book- until I was 199lbs on Christmas Day. Thaks to the holidays, I shot back up to 205 - 210lbs and stayed in that range for three years.

Starting with the Holidays this year, I've been letting myself eat more & more carb - but it got out of hand. I'm now about 215 - 217.

While this is grat compared to where I was - it isn't where I want to be. My original goal weight was 195 - and I want to get there. So - it is back to induction for me.

Following Atkins all these years has been great for me and really saved my life.
