    5 pounds to go!

    We went out last night to the drive-in to see War of Worlds (final 45 minutes ruined the first good hour), so I thought I was doomed to bad scale this morning. I didn't have one at all, and to top it off after my weekly Saturday morning workout, I hit my new low, 230! There will be celebratory photos posted later on today.

    I have one more significant change today, but I will wait until the photos to let that out of the bag.

    WOW Kent, that is TRULY AWESOME!!!

    I looked at your start weight, how much you'd lost, how you look, OMG that really made my eyes pop out of my head.

    We often don't notice how we're going on a journey, we focus on each week, each exercise, each morsel we put into our mouth, and suddenly when we step back, we realise, 'yeah it was all a series of small steps' but at the end you have made that BIG LEAP into weighloss & Atkins WOE.

    Well done Kent!!!! YAY to YOU!!!

    Cheers.

          Make sure those 5 pounds come off nice & slow. When I got that close I so just wanted to get it over with. But in the long run it's better to ease your way down. By then my eating style was a habit so I kept losing weight for another 2 months until it stablized 10 lbs under goal (where is was today...haven't updated my banner yet)

                      woo hoo weigh to go Kent. I hope you are in premaintenance now slowing down that weight loss and seeing how well you can manage those higher carb veggies and grains while still slowly losing your weight cause as Dr Atkins said in DANDR those who do all phases of my plan are the ones who don't have the regain problems!

                      Can't wait to see the change. did you shave off your beard? should we get a poll up of what Kent's change is folks?

                          Can I play devil's advocate here and say that maybe you don't need to lose 5 more lbs? It's your goal though so I'll hush up now! You look absolutely fantastic!!!!!! I really can't get over it...you should be in a losers hall of fame here or something. Astounding!
