I tried Atkins about 3 years ago. I managed to loose about 40 lbs in 7 months. But as soon as I stopped doing Atkins I started to gain the weight back. I thinks thats because I didn't learn to eat proper balanced meals, nor did I do any exercise. This time I got smart I saw a nutritionist, and I joined a gym. I have again lost 45 lbs . I have done it in 10 mnths but I feel more healthy now than I have in years. The old saying is true 'diets' don't work. I think its because you can't live your life on a diet. If you learn to eat healthy , more veges, fruit, fish etc. you can eat till you are full and not have to worry about gaining weight. The other important thing I think is not to deprive yourself , its ok to have some candy, or chocolate but don't over due it. Its ok to have a dessert once in awhile, just not every day. If you deprive yourself, you will fail, just use common sense. As for what kept me going, I couldn't go for a walk with my daughter with out stopping to rest, I had trouble sleeping, and I was told either loose the weight or you'll end up a diabetic and on insulin. Not something I wanted.
I never ran, I sucked. I was 12 and 116 pounds. My 'mile time' was 8 min, 20 seconds. After going to the gym 5 times week for 45 minutes, my mile time went down to 6 min 13 sec and I lost 14 pounds!
