Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

WOW! I just popped into this thread to see how things were going. 30+ inches is FRIGGIN' AWESOME! That is just fantastic. I seriously had to pick my jaw off the floor after reading that. I can't wait to check in tomorrow and see the before/after pictures!!!

GREAT JOB, LADIES!

I'm bloated thanks to everyone's pal, TOM (whinnnne), so I might save my before/after pictures until NEXT week. At the earliest, it will be Saturday.

04/24/07 weight 227

06/14/07 weight 210

Here are my pics. I cannot find the side view of my origianl pic But you get the idea. I couldn't wear the same scrubs because the set in the original pic are way too big. And since I was at work for both sets of pictures, I didn't want to dress too sloppy just for the after pic, hence the different scrubs!

A total of 31.5 inches and 17 lbs lost in the 6 weeks! Not as good as some, but not too bad!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Wow you guys - CDrake, Kisstuck and Trying Again - great progress! I amazed at the photos and inches! Wow!

As for me this challenge coincided almost exactly with a giant stall - which was nothing to do with AA but it meant I did weigh myself a fair bit out of sheer panic. I did stick to the other rules though.

I have hardly changed, but that is partly as near to goal. I have lost a total of 8 inches overall and 2lbs.

I am amazed it is that many inches, actually! I will post pictures asap but have to them developed, blah, etc.

Can't wait to see how everyone else did

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Way to go, Baarb! Even with your major stall, you managed to lose 8 inches and a couple pounds! That is a testament to your dedication and perseverence! Can't wait to see your new pics.

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

KISS -- what AWESOME progress. 17 pounds and 31 inches!! Wowie! And you look great in your new scrubs -- those are so cute.

Baarb, 2 pounds and 8 inches ain't shabby, girl, so don't fret. Great job! In fact, I'm right there with ya... Besides, remember that as you have less left to lose, you won't see as big of inches and pound drops as you had been before. But, slowly but surely, it's still coming off.

----------------

I lost 3 pounds, from 208 to 205, and 8.75 inches. I'm also down 3.62 in "fat mass" and up .62 in lean body mass.

So, as I suspected, not as many pounds lost as I'd hoped, but at least some progress. However, I'm okay with it, considering how slack I've been (and almost two full weeks of travel during that time). Also, TOM is about to arrive at any moment, and I can tell I'm retaining a lot of water, so I'm hoping next week will show a few more pounds and inches when my body is back to normal. Will take and post new photos tomorrow.

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Thanks Adena! I really had to step up the exercise and watching my calories really helped, too. It is great that you still lost weight and inches even while traveling! Only 6 lbs to go until onederland!! I think you can....I think you can....

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Hi Everyone!!!!


First off let me say how totally proud I am off all that you have accomplished and how much your dedication and support of one another has encouraged me through this challenge as well!

To all of you who stuck it through and have seen the results I am sure you know how rewarding it feels. So your reward is the feeling you had tis morning when you stepped on the scale and saw that power you have in taking control of your life and your health.


WAY TO GO!!!!!

So, for me this has been a very difficult week. We had a death in the family and it has put a bit of strain on stuff. But Atkins is a woy of life, not a diet so I found it prtty easy on a whole to keep it together. Once you set yourself up for success and keep on track with it, it kind of takes care of itself. Grocery shopping become automatic and so does meal preperation. Now outings are another story. Believe me, if I had not cheated food wise along the way I am sure my results may have been better, but I am very pleased with the results and will take em all the way to the store to buy some new clothes!!!

My results for this challenge:

Start...........................................Fi nish
Weight 204...................................189!!! -15lbs
neck 14.75....................................14.25 -.5
shoulders 46.0................................44.25 -1.75
bust 44.75.....................................44.0 -.75
waist 40.25....................................38.0 -2.25
abdomen 43.5.................................41.0 -2.5
hips 47.25......................................46.6 -1.25
upperthigh 25.0...............................24.0 -1.0 x2
thigh 21.5......................................20.0 -1.5 x2
knee 15.0.......................................14.5 -.5 x2
calf 16.0........................................15.25 -.75 x2
ankle 8.75.......................................8.25 -.5 x2
right arm 13.75................................13.25 -.5 x2
forearm 11.25..................................10.25 -1.0 x2
wrist 6.75........................................6.5 -.25 x2


So my results are as follows. I am finally down to the 180's (ok only by one pound... but hey! I can't remember the last time I was a 180 anything!)

I lost 15 lbs and 20.75 inches in 6 weeks!!!!

I will post pictures tomorrow when my hubby gets a chance to take them for me.


I again just want to say way to go ladies!!! Keep up the good work and see it fall off as you go!


Big hugs and a ton of woot woot!!!!
