Anyone started at 180lbs?

[AtoZgirl]

I'm starting atkins (soon) at around 180 lbs. and will hope, pray, and fight with all the sweat, blood and tears I have to make it down to around 140lbs (which might even be a little small on my 5'7 frame... but hey goals shouldn't be easy... I should have to work for it).

Anyway, I wanted to see if any woman (doesn't really matter the age) around 5'7 and started atkins at around 180lbs (again, doesn't have to be right on the dot) and has lost weight. I'd like to see as many difference as you are willing to show. I'd really love to see someone who went from around 180lbs to 140lbs. Thanks in advance!!!

I promise to post and help anyone I can out as soon as I start my trek. My excuse(s) for not starting yet is I haven't measured, taken current pictures or weighted myself (I just bought a measuring tape and the digital scale is on the way) and I'm also waiting on the new book to arrive. Then I will do the grocery shopping and start then. This time I'm preparing myself and doing it right.

I started at 204 and i'm 5'6" I'm now teetering in the 150's but it's more muscle than fat-I use weight now

Here's my 180 pic's. SO I am right there with you. I want to get down to 164, I am also 5'7'' but I don't want to be small, due to my job.

Hi, AtoZ! Welcome to the party!

I started out at 187 (at 5'6") and my goal is 140, also ... last time I weighed myself, I was 158 (won't be weighing in again until Dec. 1). The photos below are from mid-Aug. (on the right) and mid-Oct. (left) ... there are larger photos in an album on my profile page. The pounds are coming off slowly, but I've lost quite a few inches (losing fat but building muscle ).

Good luck on your exciting journey!

Good luck in your objective,

It's just 16 lbs to lose, doing atkins correctly you'll have no problems to arrive to your goal.

Is good you posted your photos, and for you would be good taking one every week. At the end you could look before and see how your body changed during the journey. It will help you to know how your body was modified and take conclusions about the diet and exercise if you do.

Bye!!
