Hi dharper, I don't know how tall you are but I would love to weigh 162lbs! I don't do any strenuous exercising. I walk just about everyday for 30min. I was on this diet a while ago and I lost most of my weight during the induction stages of the diet, after being on the induction stage for three months I felt comfortable where my weight was, I then went to the next stage which is OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss)I then lost weight but very little at a time. I lost a total of 50lbs in no time. The key is too stay on the induction stage for at least a month or until you get within 10, 15 or even 20lbs to your goal weight. I don't know how healthy this is on your body but I didn't have any problems with it. If you do the diet like Dr. Atkins states in his book, let your carbs be your vegetables and stay within your 20gram count I don't see where it will be a problem with your health unless you have other problems that I am not aware of. Take your time doing this diet. The longer you stay on the induction stage the less you are going to be hungry this is true because your body is not going to crave these foods if you aren't eating it on a daily basis. Thanks for the compliment. Black has a way of making anyone look slimer than what they truly are! Good Luck, Keep in touch and I sent you a friend request. 

Hey Mandie, Thanks for your support. We all need that. I have been dieting since April, jumping from one thing to another. Someone told me about fat secret, so I joind Atkins diet. I have been on it since June 07. (think that's right.) I just so upset, I am afraid to eat anything for fear I will go over the 20 carbs. Have a great day and keep in touch. dharper1
