to you all!!

[mhouck2003]

I am down 6 more.

20857.1 + 6 = 20863.1

[moonstarzgyrl]

wow everyone!

20863.1 + 27 = 20890.1 :-)

[Rayne_W]

Down 5 more!

20890.1 + 5 = 20895.1

[lemonzest]

I am down a couple more!
Started 135+, down to 128 now. My new goal is 122 - it was lower, but I think that might be unrealistic, seeing as how slowly the weight is coming off this time around.

[dave374000]

I reached a bit of a milestone weight today. I weighed myself twice just to make sure.
210.4 lbs.
Down 40 lbs. since Jan. 1.
Last year, my biggest accomplishment was re-doing my livingroom. I guess the weight loss qualifies for this year's biggest accomplishment.
At 6-4, my weight now is probably ideal, but I'd like to go for 200 and leave it there.

[dave374000]

207.4 lbs.
Unreal.
Anyone who says low carbing is bad is wrong.
If someone told me a year ago I'd be 207.4 lbs. in March 2011, I would have laughed in their face (I was about 250 lbs. at that time).
I had no motivation to lose weight ... and never thought I could get off my diet of pizza, chips, beer, etc...

And the stupid part is this - I'm a single guy over 40 ... so, yeah, I like to drink. I still do, but I subbed whiskey and diet cola (caffeine free) for beer ... and it hasn't affected my weight at all. And I don't eat anything stupid when I drink ... other than a handful or two of mixed nuts - or (oddly enough) hard boiled eggs. Yeah, I know, strange.

So how do we add these up? Last count I saw was 20895.1

20895.1 + 7 for lemonzest = 20897.1 + 40 for dave374000 = 20937.1 + 12 for Jasmine541 = 20949.1

PLUS 28.8 for me (so far!)

Equals 20965.9 lbs. (I'm assuming everyone posted in pounds, not kg, or stones etc.)

OR almost 10 and 1/2 tons
OR about 4 Asian Elephant bulls

(Was going to do African elephants, but one African Elephant bull weighs up to 15,000 lbs! )

WAIT! I think I should add 3 more for dave374000 so the grand total would be 20968.9 pounds. Still almost 10 1/2 tons or 4 ephelants.

[Butterflystar]

Im officially down 24 lbs today..I started the 2nd week of Jan!
Love the LC way of eating

[Bevvie]

Down 10 lbs since March!

[tara_verd]

OK, the "bull elephant" analogy made me laugh out loud...

Well, my 2 weeks of Atkins induction is over. I track EVERYTHING in a low carb tracker on my iPhone, and found I averaged 17 grams a day.

I have lost 8 lbs., which puts me right in the "average" category of Atkins weight loss. So going to keep on keeping on...I'm not missing carbs, not craving anything. Sometimes I kind of miss a glass of wine, but I get over it. I can eat avocados, sour cream, and when I want something crispy, pork rinds. Yummy.

Wore a pair of pants today I haven't worn in 2 years. Motivation, ahoy.

Am going to stay in induction mode until I get 20-30 lbs. from goal, then will start adding, per Dr. Atkins, 5g a day for a week at a time, and tracking that. I anticipate I will have to stay under 50g a day, eventually. But so worth it!!

[mhouck2003]

Add 6 more.

20965.9 +6 = 20971.9

[Donna D. in NJ]

20971.9+15=20986.9

Whoopie!!!

[winkydink]

I have lost a total of 106 lbs in 12 months!

[MissOutandAbout]

Oh, oh, I wanna play...

20986.9 + 19 = 21005.9

[dave374000]

Weighed in this morning at 204.6 lbs.
4.6 lbs away from my Jan. 1 goal (where I was 253 lbs.)
I suspect I can reach the goal in two weeks. The key now is finding ways to keep the weight on. I recently had a cheat day, and may need to have at least one cheat day a week to keep the weight on.
Dropping all the bad carbs melts fat like butter.

A cashier I know well at my regular grocery store hadn't seen me in a couple of months (her shift changed). She saw me and said "Oh my God, how much weight have you lost? (then a pause) Are you sick?"
I replied "Just in the head, as usual."

[shelec]

last count = 21005.9

+2.8 dave374000 = 21,008.7
+25 shelec = 21033.7

[moonstarzgyrl]

21033.7 + 10 = 21043.7

YAY!!!

[TamTam34]

21043.7 + 21= 21064.7

[Ketoseph]

21064.7 + 54 = 21,118.7

[Tilly]

1707+15 (so far)= 1722

[Maryposa]

ummm I think you took the number off the first page lol

should be 21,118.7 + 15 = 21133.7

Might as well add my own update; -5.4 since I last checked in here... current weight 183.2

21133.7 + 5.4 = 21139.1

[Lisa Marie]

Down another 15 pounds since I last posted in this thread on 3/5/11. Total lost since 2/14/11 is 26 pounds.

~Hello, I am a newbie.
I've been on a low carb diet since last Monday.
I've lost around 4.5 pounds in a week.
Does this sound ok? Is it too much too fast?
Is it mostly water? Will I gain it back?

I am enjoying eating mostly fresh produce and meat. Really love having given up all the snacks. The only thing I miss is ice-cream.

So that's 21,154.1 + 4.5 = 21,158.6

Good Job

[suitebliss]

21,158.6 + 5.6 (and that's only since Thursday) = 21,164.2

[ctx]

I've never posted here so I'll add what I've lost since I started my plan.

21,164.2 + 20 = 21,184.2 Yay us

Wowzers!

? Did you gain on a low carb plan?? Or did you go off plan? If you gained on low carb I would suggest seeing a doctor!
