Anyone only trying to lose 15-20 lbs?

[stella91]

So glad I found this posting. I am about the same stats as Anymac. I've done Atkins one other time, induction for 3 weeks...right before Thanksgiving!! Great results, went from 130-118, then the holidays came! My weight has been hovering around 127-130 since. Decided it was time to crack down again. Would love the support from other women who are also trying to go from the high 120's/130's to 110ish. It seems to be a difficult journey for us!

Me! I only have about 18.5 pounds to lose until I hit goal. I have noticed that being smaller has made my weight loss seem slower than some of the other members here. I just have to remember that slow and steady wins the race.

I have about 15 pounds to lose. I found over the years with trial and error that not only do I need to limit my carbs but also my calories. I track everything in sparkpeople.com and enter my results in an Excel spreadsheet to keep me on track. Hope this helps and good luck to you!

Hi Ladies!
I'm 5'4" 33 yrs old mom to three.
I am on week three, just started OWL.
I went from 150 to 139 in exactly three weeks. My goal is 125, maybe lower, depending on how I look!
I'm being really careful & not cheating at all. Exercising, about 2 miles of fast walking at least every other day.
But I can see the weight loss slowing a bit already...which is normal I know.
I already notice a big change in the way I look & feel.
I had bleeding on my gums since my last child was born two years ago & that's gone. My mild psoriasis is totally gone also!!
I have always suspected problems with candida, & I had some die-off symptoms. I really am so excited about my new sugar & wheat free way of life. Let's all meet our goals by the summer!!

How's everyone coming along? I haven't weighed myself in over a month but I feel like I lost in some aread and gained in others. So we will see, thinking about jumping on that scale today. Scary. Would love to be at goal by summer. Can't wait, it's cold and dreary and totally unmotivating here in NY!!!!

I only have 17 or so pounds left to lose and I have a feeling its going to be a long road...so far im in my 8th day of induction and ive lost about 7 or 8 pounds. Hopefully the rest comes off just as easily. Ive got a trip to Miami coming in 5 weeks and would like to be down to atleast 130 or less by then!
