Diet Progress

40 minutes at 2.2-2.3 mph each day on the treadmill.
Carbs ~17-20g/day
Calories 1300-1600 /day
Net calorific load ~-1700 per day
Weight 292  I've gained 3 pounds in the last week.  Go figure.

Diet Progress

289.5 today.  Bouncing around with water retention.  Essentially no loss in two weeks and based on a calorie deficit of ~1700/day, I should be losing 2.5 lbs/week.  Have to do some rethinking.

Just started back on the treadmill.  2 mph/flat for 20 min.  70 cal burn.  My achilles starts to twitch at just under 20 minutes.

Atkins Progress

289.  This is going very slowly.  I believe calorie intake is around 1500/day and carbs <20 grams/day

Atkins Diet

290 lbs.  Big time hunger pangs on Saturday until after a salad, steak and chicken breast dinner.  Not sure why, but I was in full starvation mode.

Atkins

290.5  lost about 12-13 since 5/4.  Rate is about 2.5 lbs/week, in keeping with a diet that is about 1400 calories/day.  Carbs at 14-20 range daily.  A tad high for Atkins.  Looks like most of the weight loss is calories (as atkins says) not carbs.  Looks like the 200-lb goal is next May.  Long time to spend on this funky diet.

Good news.  Smaller clothes fit.  Suspenders aren't as needed.  Easier to tie shoes and other bendy things.
Bad news.  I haven't been on the treadmill for a couple weeks.  Achilles tear(?).  still a bit twingy.
