Females: Anyone who has gone from appx 180 to 135, how long did it take you?

I'm just trying to get some enthusiasm for my future and trying to get a really good concrete idea of when I could *possibly* if I follow the plan to a tea and work out daily, how long it will take to get to 135 from where I am now 175.

My mom thinks by October I can be 135. (She's a seasoned veteran with Atkins but no longer follows it.) Is that realistic do you ladies think?

Thanks!!!
Jennifer

My first time doing Atkins (2003), I started at 198lbs (in April) and got to low 150-ish by the fall.

This time I think I am losing a bit slower but I am still happy. I started in April at 183 and I am down to 164 now.

Everyone does lose at a different rate but that just gives you an idea of what you might see.

What I am doing differently my 2nd time around is exercising and taking the time to really understand OWL and the rungs and why they are important.

Good luck! Jane

I started last july 7th at 283 and today im 177.6 it took me a year to lose that amount 100+lbs.I guess it depends on what your eating how much your drinking,how much your exercising thats why different people have different results .Some lose faster some slower.

Ok I started at 183 and now Im at 150. In about 4 days it will be 4 months and Im still not at goal. I have been losing weight now at an extremely slow pace but its falling off I guess. The closer you get to goal the slower it will get. So this gives you an idea -- hopefully in another 3 months I will be at goal .

That is totally realistic, but as always there are exceptions... be happy with your progress your sure to get there soon! (in my experience, I believe you'll make it)

[somethings gotta give]

I have gone from 192 to 155 in less than 3 months, approx 12 weeks, have only 15 lbs to go...I have not had a cheat day and have followed the rules the best as I could. I have been able to move up the rungs pretty quickly and still losing at a steady pace. Time flies really it does!!!

[givingitatry]

where am i and somethings gotta give... I have same goals. Just new to the boards. Your timelines are encouraging to me. It may seem like it took time for you but I would be thrilled with your results.

Starting 181
Current (2 weeks in) 173
Goal 140

my starting weight was 173.8 and now almost 6 months later I am now 27 lbs lighter at 146 lbs. I exercised excessivly in the beginning but stopped about 2 months ago. I have started running again so I'm gonna get this weight off even quicker! my ultimate goal is 125 and I plan/hope to be there by my birthday..which is in march.
good luck to you! youll do great.
