Hi everyone
 

Hello all im Steve from the UK and I decided to join because the support you guys seem to give each other looks like it really helps with the sometimes discouraged feelings we all get, and I could do with some support.

ive done the atkins diet intro about 4 months ago and lost 10lbs which i was more than happy with, but now unfortunatly I have put it all back on and them some im currently at 15stone (210 lbs i think) and my target goal is 175lb or 12.5stone. i started back on the diet a few days ago and have lost 5lb already but i have started going to the gym too so this must help.


Just out of curiosity, how much could I realisticly lose in 2 weeks if im at the gym everyday while on the diet, is it a good idea to do that much as i usually do 3 days of weights (mon,wed,fri) and 5 days of cardio mixed in with the weight training.

thanks everyone and I look forward to future posts

Welcome! Nice to have you with us!

Welcome Spike,
Mammoth posted two threads at top of message board on surveys he did reguarding average weight loss on induction and owl. Read those to get an idea of what you expect.
Good luck to you and this forum is a great place for support and motivation. flutter

Hi Steve, the very general rule of thumb seems to be that you can expect to lose 10% of the weight you need to lose during induction, but it varies for different people!

Now that you're back on LC STICK TO IT THIS TIME :)
