Just found this web-site this week. Entered a biggest loser contest in Toledo,Ohio. I am at 283 lbs. want to get to 200lbs. I dieted before and Atkins seems to work for me. I know its not for everyone but I can do without bread and pasta and sweets. Love fish, meat, cheese etc. Could use some advice on how to maintain after I reach my goal.

Hi my name is pat fiddler I have doing this for 100 days now. Just don't get discouraged, if it does not come off as fast as you won't it to. I am older and it is a struggle every day. But on the other hand , it makes you feal so good when you see the numbers fall on the scale. My sister is 12 years younger than myself, she has been doing this for 110 days , she has lost 38.4 lbs so it really does work. So good luck I would like to help you when I can.

Thanks Pat. My real name is John and I'm somewhat old too(57). I'm trying not to weigh everyday, once maybe twice a week so I won't get discouraged if I don't see results everyday. Got two more days to see how I did in my first week. I'll keep you posted.
