i did the same diet 15 years ago..Went from 235 to 185 .. I took three months.. and I walked 4 miles a day ...
I had a wedding to go to.. just could not fit in my suit..
and in no way was I going to buy a new one...
I paid over $500 for that one..just to replace it
would of added another $200...
toughest part about the Atkins was no caffeine...
