I've lost 8 pounds since last Wednesday

If the whole board went on the Atkins diet, I'm afraid the Earth would float away.

 

That means you could have 5 beers a day if you dont eat anything. Can you do it? posted by Sly


You got any other diets? I ain't much on that one.

 

I have been drinking bourbon and diet ginger ale or vodka and fresca at home. Rum and Diet Coke when I am out because that is usually the only carb free mixer they have. Most of your main liquors have no carbs. Only problem is your body will burn alchohol first before fat. Delays weight loss but doesnt really inhibit it.

 

Good question. I found 186 to be my "ideal weight". But at 215lbs now...I can't imagine what I'd look like at 186. Anyone have an accurate chart?

 

I have no idea what my ideal weight is. I will go strictly by appearance. I was 240 and pretty solid when Elizabeth and I started dating. I crested 300 which spurred me to go on the diet. If I can get down to 250 I will be thrilled. If I am still flabby at that point then I will keep going.

 

That's 2 of me.

I'd say the diet was a good decision, then.

 

No doubt the Adkins diet works, but it may be at an expense. My buddy developed problems with his gall bladder as a result. He got dangerously sick. He lost weight, but swore to never do it again. Just be careful.....

Yeah, I best stay away from that one then

 

Great job sly! By the way, I lost 2 lbs on the stool this morning?

 

if you don't do it right, you can burn muscle instead of fat...which slows your metabolism and if you go off the diet, you'll get fatter than you were before.
