3 yrs ago I weighed 180 pounds. Always been fit but could never lose more than a kilo or 2 & then whack it back on. I then discovered Atkins & got down to 158 within a couple of months.
Gradually I went off the rails & am now at me peak heaviest weight of 190 pounds. Basically eating chocolate all the time & other nasties. My pants are really tight around my gut (getting quite pronounced now) & causing me pain during the day. Also feeling chest pains now & again. I've been meaning to go back on Atkins for a while now, but now feel I have no choice. At this rate I'll be technically obese if I put on another 6 pounds.

So here I go again, starting right now.
190/190/160
Good luck! :-)
And this time, don't just go on a diet! Live the lifestyle, permanently!

If you're feeling chest pains, I'd go see a Dr. immeadiately. That is not normal, nor is it something that will be fixed by changing your diet. Getting evaluated quickly could save your life.

I agree he should see a dr for chest pains BUT - when I am binging, meaning living for weeks on nothing but ice cream, candy bars, shakes, cookies etc I also get wierd chest pains. Like my heart is doing flip-flops. I attribute it to mainlining sugar and it usually scares me back to LC.
Male, 173cm. My 36 inch pants are getting really tight around the waist & giving me pain - out of principle I refuse to buy 38 when I have brand new 34's sitting in my wardrobe. I still can't believe I've whacked on 30 pounds - I'm reasonably active (run, squash, tennis, light weights etc).
I know 1st hand low-carbing definitely works, so here we go again.

I don't understand how someone can go back to eating high carb after eating low carb. If I eat a single meal that is high carb I feel like [censored]. I get a fuzzy feeling in the head, I generally feel crappy and I start getting carb cravings. It is just so much easier and feels so much better to eat a well balanced low carb meal.

I didn't understand it either at first, but I found out the way it happens is incrementally. If you gradually add carbs back in, it doesn't make you feel crappy. You just have a few fries off your friend's plate one night, maybe just couple of bites of candy the next day, then eventually you can be back to where you started. It's sneaky.
