I started Atkins on Nov. 15, 2003 and I have lost 45lbs..

I have not cheated once, take supplements, drink lots of water, and have done 30-60 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week for the last 6 weeks. Nothing worth having is going to be easy. To me it's not been about a diet.... it's been about me changing the way I live.

I am going to have to agree with Jackal everybody is different. So if I were you I would stop looking at the quickest way to lose the weight and beat your friends, and start looking at what plan you can follow religiously to have the life you want.

Good luck
