This morning.......199 lbs! Finally! I have not seen this side of 200 since the late 80's! Heck - I wonder what'll happen next? Ken Well done! How did you do it Ken? Any tips for a newcomer? I started on August 13, 2004 weighing 348lbs and so far have lost 12lbs. Just starting reintroducing carbs after induction and now I am scared as hell! Sounds like you are off to a good start, Seinman! Don't be afraid to move into OWL. Also, don't worry if you weight loss stalls for a couple of weeks -- it seems to happen to just about everyone during the 3rd week. Also, most of what you've lost during the first 2 weeks is water weight -- NOW the fat loss begins. Keep looking forward and stay the course! I just posted my weekly low-carb tips that may be helpful. -- Saffire 205/149/125 - 5'1.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

But I have a question about your pans size. How tall are you? Are you wearing your belt at your waist, or tucked under your belly? Can you post a picture? I'm serious; not trying to be smart or funny. I'm trying to figure out the clothes size difference. I was wearing 48" waist pants at 270 pounds, and am now wearing 40" waist at 215 pounds. At 202 lbs I expect I'll be down to 38" pants; I lose about an inch at my waist for every ten to fifteen pounds lost. The last time I wore 34" was when I was 170 pounds, and I'm 6'2". I've always worn my pants at waist level (I gained weight with dignity!). I have a brother-in-law though, who wears the same waist size pants as I do, and t is 70 pounds heavier than I. But he wears his pants around his hips, under his belly with his gut hanging over the belt. He's not really anywhere close to the waist size of the pants that he wears. As i said, I'm curious about a 34" waist at 202 pounds! Are you 7 feet tall .... or built like Ahnold Schwarzenegger? g -- Peter 270/215/180 Before/Current Pix: http://users.thelink.net/marengo/wei...htlosspix.html |

My father (400 lbs+) wears his around his belly button. We're both 5'8" with 28" inseams, very stocky legs, large feet and generally stocky, if you take off the belly & other fat. I've done that (with the belt) . When I started (307 lbs), I had trouble tying my shoes, balancing myself to put pants on standing up, folding a leg over to put a sock on and even if I sucked my gut in and smashed it in as hard as I could with my arm, I could not see where the urine was coming from. And, I'm moderatley well endowed. It hurt to walk due to the weight strain on my lower back. Now I no longer need a belt & the size 34's are a perfect fit. I can suck my gut in while sitting and have a flat stomach. I'm excercising a TON, too - my previous longest day was 34.6 miles on my bike. Yesterday, I got a headphone setup so I could listen to music while riding. I did 42.09 miles! I had energy to do more but it got dark. Today, I'm 197 and the 34's seem a tad loose. BTW, yesterday's food intake was: 1/4 garlic pickle (1g) 4 cups of coffee (1g) 44 oz diet coke big gulp (0g) Arby's turkey ranch & bacon wrap (18g) 2 teaspoons of peanut butter (1g) 750 ml of diet soda (0g) 2 sugar free chocolate wafers (4g) Total: 25g This mornings fasting blood sugar was 77.
