Wow @Resurgam that's a fantastic start you have made! Tremendous!:)
Thank you - though it is all down to the low carb. I was never able to lose weight on 'normal' diets, even though my doctor had me eating some silly amount of calories per day - I think it got down to 500 before he went ballistic and told me that I was lying and cheating on his diet and I was not worthy of his care. You can imaging my shock when I found Dr Atkins and started to lose weight rapidly - so fast that I had to eat more to slow it down to a sensible rate.

Im finding LCHF, IF and plenty of exercise are really doing the business for me. Averaging around 2kg/week loss. Like you i have a cocern that the loss may be too rapid. However, i am just not that hungry that i want to eat more. I may have to consider stopping IF since LCHF is now part of my DNA.

I found 2kg a week was OK - it was the 1Kg a day that was too much for the system to cope with. Low carb, if done with care is so easily tweaked to give full control of the results. I weighed and listed everything for quite a while, food and exercise that is, and found that all the advice on weightloss I had ever seen was wrong.

With my fitbit and myfitnesspal i have become quite OCD regarding my diet and exercise. Some people in my office think I'm nuts but some are coming around to my way of thinking. I work on the 5th floor of an office block and i now have two colleagues climbing the stairs with me in the morning and after lunch.

I bought myself a trampoline and went and bounced twice a day - I will have to get back to that now my knees are feeling better.

Weighed in this morning - have gained 1kg this week - not good news but I had a week where I had more carbs than I was having and believe this is the result - so here is to a new week and another chance to improve my results.

Diagnosed ten days ago, my weight was 248lb today it is 243lb.
My HgA1c was 91 - I think - was rather a shock so went a bit quivery. It was BAD - so am eating low carb with the usual good results.
Well done, Fabulous effort, keep it up!!!!

Golly, that's harsh from your doctor!! I suggest a change in diet is not the only thing you should look at....
