Hi. I want to see what is a reasonable and realistic amount to lose according to those who have been on 6 + months. I have been on atkins since the very end of march this year and have lost 30 lbs. I am aiming to lose another 41 lbs. to get down to my goal weight. I am still in induction and plan to protuberance to OWL when i lose another 5 - 10 lbs. Thanks In Advance!

in 2001 / 2002 I lost 70 lbs in 10 months, staying mostly on induction and OWL ( but not increasing my carb intake, only adding nuts and berries to my diet ). I lost 40 lbs the first 4 months I was on plan and then I lost the other 30 lbs in the following 6 months. It is possible to lose the 40 lbs if you stay on induction but it may be harder if you add more carbs when moving to OWL.

I ' m almost to the end of 5 months and I have lost 61 pounds. My starting weight was 246. 5 and this morning I weighed in at 185. 25.
I have not cheated at all, though, except for cough drops when I had a bad cold.
