OOH YES I GOT A STORY!! =) Ok well I started doing the Atkins in the beginning of the year.. (September-October I think) And all I ate was meat and cheese and stuffs. The exercises I did were running.. cause I had basketball; and then I'd just go bike riding and that.. I lost 15 pounds in a matter of 2 weeks =D it's a fast way to do it!

I lost about 15 lbs in 4 weeks! But I stopped because I went on vacation and totally messed it up. So yeah, I'm going to start again in May so I can look good in June for when I go to Michigian:) It works..but its not very healthy

People that were on the atkins diet ate bacon for breakfast lunch and dinner and never excersized. That just screams HEART ATTACK! Just eat HEALTHY in small portions and do 50 crunches every night and you'll lose about 5-10 pounds in a month. Hope this helped.

Hey there. Well, a good friend of mine was 300 lbs and he went on the Atkins Diet and about 2 months later he was about 185. So, the diet does work. The only bad thing is, Atkins revolves around the fact that you take in ZERO carbs. It also promotes you to eat fatty meats and cheeses which are bad for your heart and cholesteral. So, once you get off the diet, you gain all the weight back because your body goes crazy when it has a carb.
I think if oyu are interested in loosing weight and want to do a low carb kinda thing you should try the South Beach Diet. See SouthBeachDiet.com for more info.
It's a low carb diet which for the 1st phase (1st 2 weeks) is just like Atkins in that it allows no carbs, then the 2nd phase you add back in the good carbs, (EX: fruits, sweet veggies, etc). Then by the 3rd phase you pick the carbs you want to eat so that it now becomes a part of your lifestlye. You want crave as much of the carbs oyu use to and you'll appreciate what carbs you do it in moderation. There are tons of books out there on it. I suggest getting the small hand carry south beach book because it gives you a list of what you can't and can eat and how many carbs things have and how much of them you can eat, also, it gives you meal plans that you can even switch around. Another thing, you may want to watch the FoodNetwork and Watch a show called "Low Carb and Lovin' it" The guy cooks all low carb stuff and teaches you good tips and tricks on how to survive. Log on to foodtv.com and click on shows "low carb and lovin it" for more info. Best of luck! :)
Oops I forgot: I think the best excersice for oyu would to be just to run or walk 1ce or 2ce a day. Like walk through your neighborhood or run or run/walk on a tred mill. That's a good way to get your heart circulating nad to stay in shape. :)
