Hello, my name is James. I'm 34 and have gone from 335lbs to 300 since Oct. 15 (03). I lost the first 20 lbs in the first 20 days. The last 10 took some work. I'm still not eating more than 20 to 30 carbs per day and dont plan to increase until I reach my goal of around 220 to 235 (hopefully more).

The last 10lbs took several weeks and most of it came off in the last week when I doubled my walks to 2 miles and stopped eating my salsa ranch dressing and low carb choc. milk. I have stalled again right at 300/301 for the last week but thats pretty good considering all of the holiday cheer I've been puting down.

I tried the atkins diet a year ago and found it to be very difficult to follow but with all the new food options including my favorite Russell Stover low carb and sugar free chocolates and low carb La Tortilla tortillas it's been a breeze this time around. If you havent tried the tortillas they are amazing! 3 net carbs per tortilla. They are about the size of a soft taco tortilla.

Anyway I'm thrilled to have found this forum or us tripple digiters and I look forward to watching everyones progress.

One question: Am I the only one that doesnt lose without excersize? I've known others to lose 70 lbs and never excersize but my body is amazing at hanging on to flab.
