I know that Atkins is not a quick weight loss plan...but my question is has anyone experienced fast weight loss?

-K

Define fast.

I lost 4.5 lbs this week and that seems pretty fast to me.... I would be happy with 1 lb per week. As long as I know I am losing, I'll get where I want to be eventually. I am not in a race, though... that would be too much pressure, LOL!

like diemde said, depends on what fast is to you
i am on the curves diet not atkins. but i myself seem to loose extremly fast (i am trying to actully slow down my loss lol..) i loose 3-4 pounds a week on average and last week i lost 6 lbs and i am not even on phase one anymore i tend to stay in the 25-35 carb range, i don't eat red meat, and am pretty sparce about the fruit. but nuts and jerky are a weakness 'specially when i am working til 2am :P
also i walk to work three or four days a week and do yoga 5 days a week
anywho I know you didn't ask for all that but its almost 4am so i am rambling *laughs*

kish- how fast is fast? And were did you find that cheatfree symbol and how would I put it on my signature?

Faster the better, I say!!! On Atkins almost 2 months.. expect to weigh in on Sept. 7th. 50 pounds lighter than when I started. Lack just 4 more pounds today. I think I will make it. If we are determined not to put it back on then why not lose it just as fast as we can. I've seen this big bod long enough. I think we all know how to keep it off if we'll just be honest with ourselves. ---John---

I'd say 50# in two months is INCREDIBLY FAST, John!!! Congratulations!!

I've seen some people lose fast and some slow, Kish. It really depends on the person, how strictly they stay on plan, how metabolically resistant they are, etc.

I'm averaging about 10# a month myself and I'm quite happy w/that rate.
