From the thread Ksyrup bumped... August 2003:
288... that was the magic diet. That's the only one I've ever had worthwhile success with. Not just Atkins, but that specific attempt on Atkins. I've dropped to 300 a number of times before, but I seem to plateau there. That is the only time since I originally went over 300 pounds around age 24 that I got back down below 290.
No point to that post really, I just forgot how well I had done dieting that time and how much money I saved from eating out and how good I felt.
