This is my first diet I have ever tried. It has changed my life. When I was younger I use to be very active, but as I aged I got lazier and lazier. Since I started the Atkins diet on July 7th, 2001, I have lost 73 lbs and am still losing. Not as fast anymore but am still losing. My original goal was 220 lbs but I will change that to 200 lbs. One thing that help me lose so much weight so fast is the fact that I have taken up cycling again and am doing this about 2 hours everyday. Like Karen said, this has become a way of life to me now and I can't see myself going back to eating the way I use to. Good luck everyone.
