 Re: Hey everyone | |
| Hi and welcome! I'm 25 but I really wish Atkins had been around (well, and common knowledge, since it WAS around) when I was in highschool.
If your main goal is to drop 120 lbs by let's say the start of September.. that is roughly 15 lbs a month starting right now (mid Feb).
I'm not going to say its impossible because a LOT depends on how your body reacts with Atkins and how well you stick to the diet. I would say be sure to read the ingredient label on everything and for good measure, stay away from aspartame. It can cause the same reaction in your body as REAL sugar and curb your hard-earned results.
Heavier bodies tend to melt away the pounds easier and you might find you lose a good amount in the beginning. You may even decide to extend Induction a bit longer than the first 2 weeks to really jumpstart your body into weightloss mode - but do what feels good for you.
Even if you averaged a VERY possible 10 lbs a month - you could go from 300 to 220 by the start of school and that would be GREAT! Stay positive, read the success stories and check out the before/after picture section - its DEFINATELY possible! | |
