Has anyone on here lost a great deal of weight?

[Anonymous]

I'm talking 100 pounds or 50 pounds or something like that. basically a whole other person. I'm really over weight and I want to lose weight 5'2 and 222 pounds. I used to be 244 and I mysteriously lost 10 pounds (honestly, I don't know where it went) and then I went to the gym and lost 12 more.

i was just wondering if you guys had any advice you could give me? any recipes or exercise routines? how much were you before and what are you now, weight-wise? how long did it take for you to lose the weight? maybe even how old you are. it's nice to know I'm not struggling alone and maybe we can give each some advice. I'd appreciate the feedback! thanks =]

I'm telling you what works for me and what works for almost every obese person I know: the atkins diet. My friend has a thyroid problem and lost 40 pounds of BODY FAT in 3 months on it and she was eating 40-50 grams of carbs a day... when your only supposed to eat 20. I went to my doctor and told him I'm fat and he suggested that I go on the atkins diet.

I lost 6 pounds this week on the diet... you might lose 3 pounds... at the very least you will lose 2 pounds a week.

I'm kinda hesitant about diets like that... that's not something I can stick with forever, ya know? and I'm scared that once I stop, I'll gain all the weight back. :(

Personally, I've been pretty regular all my life but check out this link and click through the photos:

They have some great success stories.

Also, don't fall for any sort of diet plans. No offense to the poster below me, but people I know who were trying to lose weight have only done it and MAINTAINED through healthy lifestyle change and regular exercise. Good luck; I hope you keep going!
