    well the month is over, I hope everyone had a good month, I made some headway, but did not make the lofty goals I had set forth to make, I am happy with the pace of things, I think by not going to fast it will be permanant weight loss, see you all in October!

    I'm always down! Extended induction continues..

    Saying my starting weight this time because I never remember what it was at the end of the challenge lol.

    Starting weight: 165 pounds
    Ending weight: 145 pounds if not at the end of the month, by October 13th which is the Carnival i'm prepping for.

    Ok I didn't hit 145 but I have 9 more days until October 13th. Wish me luck! I'm gonna go hard in the cardio department.
    Last recorded weight: 157.8 lbs on 10/04/2013

    What is a fat fast?

    http://www.wikihow.com/Jump-Start-the-Atkins-Diet

    If you’ve tried Induction but aren’t losing any weight even though you’re following the program correctly, then your metabolic resistance may be so high that you need to take more extreme measures. The Fat Fast forces the body to burn fat through lipolysis and will help to jump-start the Induction process.

    1. Start by eating 1,000 calories daily. Unlike the regular Atkins diet, you will actually have to count calories during the Fat Fast. Dr. Atkins recommends eating 5 200-calorie meals so that you are better able to manage hunger.

    2. Follow the 1,000-calorie regimen for 4 to 5 days. After this initial period, you should have experienced weight loss, curbed appetite and an improved sense of well being.

    3. Increase your calorie intake to 1,200 calories. Eat 4 meals consisting of 300 calories each.

    4. Continue the 1,200-calorie plan for 1 week.

    5. Start Induction after finishing the 1,200-calorie plan. You will eat 20 grams or fewer of carbohydrates each day, but you will no longer have to count calories.
