Need Serious Help!! :-( (Atkins Fan)

Yeah really to be honest. Unless you are 3 ft tall, 107 to 112 lbs is more then fine....in some instances underweight. But if you are over 4'11 its more than healthy.

Hey Guys

M back after a while, very happy with the results.
I m back to 108.4 lbs today and I feel soooooooooooo goood. It feels awesome to be at this weight again. I did OWL and also restricted my calories to 1400 a day with exercise and it worked!
I guess b4 I was consuming too many calories through cheese and mayo.
I would like to thank all of you for constant support and help.
CHEERS TO ATKINS!!!
love

Just saw this thread and wanted to comment. I am also 5' 3" and to lose any weight I have to stay very close to induction level on carbs. Also, being a short person, I cannot eat large quantities of food. After reading your posts, I think eating too much food may have been your problem and was keeping the weight from coming down. Here is what I typically eat in a day, if I eat more than this I won't lose any weight. Hope this helps.

Breakfast: 2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or hard boiled) 1/2 cup veggies (usually lettuce or stir fry peppers, sometimes I use salsa instead, and 1 teaspoon mayo

Lunch: 1 cup lettuce, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, a tablespoon of ranch dressing, topped with 6 ounces of some sort of meat (tuna, chicken, taco seasoned ground beef)

snack: either 1 string cheese or two deviled egg halves

Dinner: 6 ounces of meat and green veggies (salad, green beans, cabbage, broccoli)

snack: small handful of pork rinds

I never gave up coffee, gotta have the caffeine!

Sometimes I'm not hungry for a snack after dinner, so I don't eat one. I was eating too much mayo and cheese and my weight stalled for a while. Ketosis rocks, makes weight loss easy!!!

Best of luck, this works!

Hey

Yes ofcourse I will follow atkins for the rest of my life. Ive never felt so good in life without starving myself. I eat 5-6 small low carb meals within 1400 cals and it works for me. Drink loads of water, but along with that exercise is the key. I have now increased my carbs it gives me that kick I need for my lengthy cardio sessions. Other than that I keep low carb. No cheating, not even alcohol unless its a real big occasion. everyone deserves a treat. Treat yourself once you have reached your goal weight. Reward yoourself for being so dedicated but don;t overdo it.

Too much mayo & cheese makes me gain weight, Ive seen olive oil works best for me. Its light and digestible. dont be hungry, eat if u feel like eating but only to satisfy yourself. My marriage date is near. I will post pics of my marriage soon.

Being a short person sux, as every pound gained looks like 10 lbs on my body.

So yeah I hope everyone reaches their goals in life. Just remember being happy and content with your body image is the best thing to do.!
