Start Weight:	(28 Oct 07) 220.0 lb
Current Weight:	(16 Nov 08) 192.2 lb
Goal Weight:	185.0 lb

following: Atkins
performance: losing 0.4 lb a week

I'm a 46 y.o. 6'3" tall Anglo male and need to lose 38 pounds and am a former licensed practical or vocational nurse and am now trying to become a published author, and am seeking a literary agent and have written three books. I've also started some additional ones already. Right now I'm spending all my spare time proofreading my books. Anyway,I lost over 30 pounds on Atkins 7 years or so ago. (And managed to keep it off)... but really need to get back to my original normal weight of 185 lbs... I live in the USA presently in Northampton, Massachusetts (my birth town) though I've lived in the state of Texas, Vandenberg AFB in California, Clark Air Base, Philippines while in the Air Force, and in later in Hawaii on the island of Oahu and for almost seven years in Los Angeles,CA and one summer in Sacramento,CA.. As of November 16, 08 only 7.2 more pounds to go!!!! :)

Splenda Sugar
Regular sugar has carbs in it. If you can't tolerate Splenda try Equal - Equate (WalMart brand), or saccharin. All of them have been rumored to be carcinogenic. Sugar will make you gain a lot of weight no matter what. I've been using aspartame - the generic Equal - or WalMart's brand as a sugar substitute. Everything has its risks. I don't smoke. I don't drink alcohol. I have heard recently cell phones are very dangerous too it has been on the radio and Internet. What are we to do? Weigh the risks and make your own decisions. If it was truly that dangerous it would have been taken off the market long ago. Don't believe everything you hear or read all the time... Smile

Personally I try to avoid Splenda as it gives me headaches compared to the other sugar substitutes...

"so called" Carb Free Drinks
Diet soda is my only dieting "fault". People I know who smoke, drink and worse get on my case because I drink diet soda. And I can say a lot of it too. But I still managed to lose weight on Atkins. Splenda doesn't agree with me too well yet. I'd consider it a carb, at least one per drink like sararay said despite the manufacturers' claims it has none. In due time (maybe ten or twenty years it'll be properly labeled as it has probably closer to one carb than none per 12 oz. drink).

Mysti needs an Atkins diet buddy!
This diet works - I've plateaued so to speak - but this is the only diet I've been able to lose weight on as I'm on medicine that causes weight gain. Maybe 15 pounds to go as I'm near 200 and 6'3" tall and don't want to get too thin as I'm going to be 46 the end of June and as you get older too thin makes you look older sometimes. I'm on it for lifetime maintenance! Smile

supplements
I for one know Stevia can cause muscle cramps if taken in larger than say two packets a day... does the FDA have this information? What does it mean for women who are pregnant perhaps? I get severe charlie horses from it. I don't want to see something go on the market and cause hundreds of thousands of people side effects like those laxative fat free potato chips everyone raved about and then they were basically torn down off of the shelves... I think Stevia may be OK in small doses but not in larger doses - like more than 2 packets a day for many people like myself. I'm the first person to know we need another supplement besides the laxative-like Splenda and the Equal that gives many other side effects along with the carcinogenic Sweet'N Lo. Take care everyone --- GlennM Smile

supplements
Hi - I have a question I'd like to ask about Stevia... I get muscle cramps from it... like charlie horses if I have more than say two or three packets of it. It could be from medicine I'm on. I know it's the Stevia as I bought a big box and it frequently caused the charlie horses at night especially. Perhaps I'm one of the few sensitive to it. I love the taste of it however... Smile

Has anyone else noticed this with Stevia?
