My son has gone from 340 to 250, and he is looking good, too. Don't you feel so proud, and healthy. Thanks for sharing with us!

Adam, that's amazing. Good for you. I waited until I was 39 to start getting control of my weight, and missed some of the years you have given yourself. Way to go!!

Thanks for all the awesome comments, I really missed these forums, everyone being so supportive and all. It's because of all the support that the diet went so great for me. And I'm glad I can inspire some people too!

I've still got a long ways to go though, but I know I'll achieve it. By next summer (I've realized to set realistic goals) I want to be at the most optimal health in my life. And for those who asked, I'm not on atkins anymore, no. But it helped me get to where I am. I don't do any type of special eating anymore,I just eat normal

Way To Go Adam. You are an inspiration to me. I have just started atkins, I am on day 6. I have not weighed myself yet however, I know I have lost a lot of water as my legs are not as puffy as they were. I actually have ankles for the first time in 2 years.

I am so very proud of you for what you have accomplished. I know way too many kids today that get home from school and spend the rest of the night on the computer. In fact I took my daughters computer away for just that reason. She has since started to lose some weight simply because she is moving around instead of sitting at a desk eating unconciously.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted !
