I was looking around on the atkinscenter website through the success stories. There was a lady on there who lost 99 pounds on only 6 months. That seems almost impossible. I would love to be able to talk to her to find out what kind of menu she had. Has anyone else had this kind of weight loss in that quick of time.

Thanks,
Cindy

I would definitely love to know what she was doing. That much in 6 months? Wow that is a heck of a lot.

She must have been doing lots of exercise while doing induction level. I would be interested to know what her start weight was...seems that the more you have to lose the faster you lose the majority of it. Its those last 10-15 lbs that seem to take forever!!!

It's always nice to lose weight quickly, but that sounds like a REALLY unhealthy rate.

wow, that is an awful lot of weight!!! Good for her. The last time I was on atkins (before pregnancy) I lost 40 in 3 months and I thought that was good...MY goodness 99 pounds in 6 ,.... its like she lost a whole entire person.

She would have had to have averaged almost 4 pounds per week in order to accomplish that... I just wish that I could lose 2 pounds a week consistently.

If her starting weight is high (like 400lb) it is not that unusual.

I started at 295 and am 225 right now.
thats 70 pounds in 3 months and 1 week.

I just looked at atkins website and this lady's starting weight was 237. She lost down to 138 in 6 months.

Thanks,
Cindy

Some people are simply blessed with an amazing metabolism.

Lucky her!

With strong dedication and tons of exercise I was able to lose 75 pounds in 4 months. Nobody in the world can tell me it was unhealthy or that I am unhealthy. I'm running 4.5 - 5 miles a day and feeling great. Had I not exercised I probably would have only dropped around 35 pounds. I did stay on Induction level carbs for most of the 4 months, however I did eat some "frakenfoods" over that time. Everyone has to lose at their own pace, I think it's judgemental to say someone elses weight loss is unhealthy, unless of course they have developed an eating disorder.

It sounds like she is blessed with a low metabolic resistance. Good for her!!!!

Wow! I don't have the time to exercise enough to go along with plan to lose that much weight that quickly.

Yup- I bet she did some exercise.
Wow...running 5 miles a day - I bow to your exercising prowess. I was so impressed with my walking 3 miles a day. I should really start running because this walking *gig* takes too darn long.

Hey Jason, quit showing off!!! Just kidding. That is GREAT!!!
You men are SOOOOO lucky that way.

I'm just happy I was able to drop 15 lbs before trying to get pregnant, the thinner I am, the healthier the baby will be.

TennisBum and Jason - you guys have done amazing work in such a short time - WELL DONE!!
