OT Diets

Started dieting two weeks ago, and I was wondering if any of you have any
success/failure stories regarding dieting and weight loss. I'm using a modified
Atkins, low carb, but with a greater variety of veggies than allowed an the
strict Atkins regime. Results so far, 8 pounds lost in two weeks. I have had a
bad cold for most of this time, so haven't been exercising. I expect to do
better once I get back on the treadmill. I'm looking to lose around forty
pounds.

A few minor discoveries:
Splenda is a great substitute for sugar.....way ahead of the others in taste.
Sugar free Jello tastes the same as the regular stuff.
Diet soda tastes like soap.....I'm sticking with water.

My parents both went on Atkins about one year ago. Dad dropped from 245
to 195 (at last weigh-in) and Mom lost a similar amount (I don't
remember exact numbers, and even if I did, I'm not dumb enough to
say.) Also, their cholesterol levels dropped way down. My wife and I
reluctantly decided to go on Atkins this year; we started Feb. 1.
Jen lost 6 pounds in the first two weeks. I don't know what I lost,
because I haven't weighed myself yet, but my pants do actually feel a
bit loose lately.

Ditto. I started at 250, and my target is 210. I'm hoping that
going public with this will help keep me disciplined.

It's close, but still no cigar. That's what I hate most about this
so far: forever having that artificial sweetener aftertaste in my
mouth.

Kevin,
who is also getting bored with meat and salad for dinner every
freakin' night.

I tracked down a scale. I weighed 231, so I have lost
19 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm taking that with a grain of
salt, since it was two different scales, but still,
it's a bunch of pounds.

Kevin,
a mere shadow of my former self.

Try Stevia. Use very very little of it. I find I like it best in
liquids. Almost as good in teas as honey. And I'm not dieting, so I
don't have to use it. Just got curious about it.

Lost about 25 lbs in 6 weeks on the Atkins, seem to have tapered off at
around 30 lbs

I skipped lunch two days in a row and lost 8 lbs. :-) Seriously now, I've
got a high metabolism. Found myself drinking as many as 6 to 7 Dr. Peppers
a day (been doing that for over 20 years). Gave them up cold turkey in
October and lost 15 lbs. I'm also now doing regular exercise on the Total
Gym and, though I've not lost any weight, I've lost 3 inches around my waist
(down to a 31). Problem is, now I need new clothes.

Frank,

workouts build muscle and burns fat wich has a lower density. Thus you can
actually gain weight
but loose volume if you start exercising. For me it works that way. If I dont
workout I loose weight.
