Well I was 205 and now I'm 182ish. I want to get down to 150 so I'm almost halfway there! Are you all set for your Atkins induction? How has it been going so far?

Best to you.

I was 179 at one point, and have made it to 134 lbs successfully. I'm on track again, down to 164 so far, but just keep at it! You could be there a LOT sooner than you think! I think it took me about 3 months to get to 140?

In 2003, I started in April at 198 and was down to 151 by about now (early fall).

This time around, I started in April again at 183 and I am at 151 now. I think I am losing a little slower this time around but I am going about it differently. Taking the time to learn about OWL and the rungs. I am also older and on meds that might slow down my weight loss. Its odd because while it might be slower this time, I feel better about it. Its like it is the quality of my progress not the quantity.

Good luck!

I started at 190.5 in April and I am now down to 160 (give or take). My goal is 115. I've had some slip ups lately but I am back on track now. You will get to your goal...just take it one day at a time.

I started in January at 180- I'm now at 143 and seem to be hovering there. I'm working more on maintaining right now. Maybe in a few months I'll try for those last three pounds.

I started two years ago at 235, took plenty of breaks and had plenty of cheats and stallers. It took me longer but I'm not big on excercise. And I was very bad at it at first. Oh, well I guess I still am. Its great to loose it fast, the first 30 or 40 pounds came off really quick, like six months. Then I'd stop here there and gain ten pounds back and have to loose it again. So no telling how much I have actually lost all total, heh! Whether it comes off fast or slow, it comes off! Can't say that for other diets. You'll get there as long as you keep going with it. And everyday you are on it, you'll be better for it! It may change how you feel about eating sugar and white flour forever.

In 2003 I started out at 196lbs. I was 26 years old and 5' 7.5". I lost 50 pounds in less than 5 months and kept it off for 2.5 years. However, when my husband and I decided to have another child I was told I was infertile. I was also told that my strict way of eating could be to blame. After taking a break from atkins I was able to conceive..and my daughter is now 21 months old. I was back on Atkins within months of having her and have struggles alot...but I think alot of that has to do with being older and the hormones from having her.

When I restarted after having her I weighed 204, made it down to 171...fell off the wagon and am now at 180.5 and looking forward to 150 again.

Good luck!
