Lost 80 Pounds. Details here.

For those who are looking at this post are probably Fat or Curious but either way its interesting and entertaining right?

Losing 80 pounds in 4-6 months wasn't easy and it took great determination and great motivation to come this far. Right now I weigh 140 pounds and my goal is 130-135, currently 18 years of age, and I think im healthy :P. Before I use to weigh 220, smoked 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day, drank Soda 24/7, ate a whole pie of pizza almost every day, and ate alot of fast food... and the result was slow metabolism, overweight, and anti-social. While I was "Fat" I was very anti-social and was laughed at because I was overweight but I don't blame em since it was my fault due to my carelessness.

I, then started to look up stuff on the internet about losing and such. I found Atkins and followed its program for a month and lost 15 pounds. I gave up smoking, drinking soda, and eating fast foods (except subways) in the process. The second month, I was stressed out and started doing my old bad habits again and I gained 5-10 pounds back. The third month I did atkins like I did in the first month and lost about 20 pounds and I gave up my old bad habits again but for good this time. The fourth and the fifth month I started to lift weights, jogg for 10-20 minutes, eat low-carb food, and started to go out more... as a result I lost 45 pounds. At the end of the 5 months I lost 80 pounds and I feel great!

My Menu,

Morning - 2 cooked Eggs, 2-4 slices of bacon, vegetables, and water

Lunch - 2-3 grilled chicken with lettuce, grape, and lots of water.

Dinner - I really didn't eat dinner but sometimes I ate a small amount of fruit (apple,grape, orange).

My menu does seem small but I survived with it and came this far with it. The most important thing to do while losing weight is to drink at least a gallon a water each day and walk or jogg 10-20 minutes each day. Smoking, Soda, Fast food, and doing nothing each day can make your life miserable in the long run.

I'm currently in my 6th month and im feeling great. I am still jogging 10-20 minutes each day and sticking to my menu each day (maybe 1-2 fast foods each month). In order to succeed you need a great amount of determination and motivation. Also good friends that will stop you from going to fast food places can help too.

Feel free to ask any questions and ill try my best to answer em. Gota go! laters.


P.S. - Can I eat Ice Cream tomorrow? :P

Sneaky way to get in advertising for the various companies in your links...do you get paid everytime one of us clicks on them? Just wondering.

Well done on 80 pounds kicked to the curb and on exercising

Have you started to climb the OWL ladder yet ?

Very nice, but of course, you weren't doing Atkins and this is the wrong forum to advertise your plan.

Great job losing the weight!
You want to probably up the exercise since you've lost 80lbs of weight to move around. As you lose you want to work out more.
It also makes you feel even better.

Congrats on losing the weight. I went to subways when I started Induction, but only for a grilled chicken salad with no dressing, delicious!!
You can get rid of the rest now, you've come so far!!

That's me! And as a long-time Atkineer, I can recognize a non-Atkins woe when I see one! The no dinner but some fruit was a dead giveaway........that was a starvation plan.

[soliwit]

Yup
First of all really congrats on the losing weight and such, you've acomplished a lot.
But deffinately not on Atkins, the way you describe it.
To my opinion you can not gradually get into atkins, you either eat according to the plan or you don't.
Doesn't make your losing 80 pounds less impressive though and it's really wonderfull you were able to get your lifestyle in balance !!!!
