First of all I dont think you NEED to loose any weight! MAYBE 5-8 lbs. Since you have very little to loose, you won't loose much doing Atkins.
however you can eat low carb for an overall healthier lifestyle. You DO eat carbs. They are HEALTHY ones! How do you think people ate hundreds of years ago? they didn't have all this processed crap and fast food to gorge themselves on everyday. they were thinner and much healthier!

Well first off, I don't exactley reccomend the atkins diet. It cuts your carbs, which is an essential part of your diet. Even if it might help you lose weight I would go with a different plan. Plus, I have seen people go on that diet and it do nothing for them. What I have seen work the best is instead of counting or cutting just one thing, like carbs, count your calories. I lost a ton of weight fast by going on a 1200 calorie a day diet. As far as losing weight goes I think that would be a good plan. By March 12 I think you could definitley lose about 10 pounds if you really work out and stick to a diet everyday, though to be healthy 10 pounds is about all you would want to lose at your height. Hope it works!

You are half way there! The 45 minutes a day on the tread mill is great! Now if you could keep your diet to 1000 - 1200 calories a day, you could lose a lot of weight. It would vary by your will power. Be careful with the Atkins plan. Good luck!
