Well it is official, I have now lost 60 lbs and I am no longer a member of the 300 plus club.
You see (I don't know if I mentioned this), I started the weight loss at a weight of 360 lbs. I now weight 298. I still have 40lbs to go until I reassess things with the doctor and my trainer, but I think I have done awesome. I said before that I would not really think I have accomplished anything until I have no "3" in front of the other 2 digits on the scale.
WELL NOW I HAVE DONE IT!
I start a more rigorous weight program next week. Terrina (my trainer), is putting me on an advanced separate program devoting an entire workout to upper body and another to lower body. I was doing weight training 3 times a week and cardio training 4 times, but that will be reversed to 2 days upper, 2 days lower, 3 days cardio.
My initial goal was to lose 100 lbs; I know that is within my grasp, I am now trying to decide just how far I am going to take it. I will be posting some before and after photos soon.

Posted by: fozbaca at July 1, 2004 12:33 PMWell done Foz! That is a great start, and I am sure you will go well. I am totally willing to share menus online with anyone who is willing to try Atkins, at least my version. I am still around 20carbs a day, but I do eat some raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries now, but still only to about 20 carbs a day. I think I burn them off anyway, I regularly check my ketones output to make sure I am in Ketosis.
