Re: 5 pounds to go!

Thanks everyone for the great comments. You have no idea how much they helped inspire me the last 15 months.

The wife is off Atkins again. I have stopped trying to be a mod with her, and just accept what she wants to do. I have even stopped cringing when she eats a hamburger with a bun and my low carb ketchup. She definitely appreciated the additional energy although sometimes she has to reel me back in from my misadventures.

I am definitely doing premaintenance at this point, but my menu still looks a lot like Induction with perks (strawberries, dairy, and more veggies). I still have no desire to returning to whole wheat breads (flax is good enough), and veggies like corn are either too starchy or have bad after affects. I keep ramping up the exercises -- still not where I need to be, and attribute most of the recent losses to the that.

Final thanks to those that like me shaved - I haven't gotten used to it. I think it just makes me look more goofy.

LOL... my husband has had a beard similar to yours for all of the 20 years I've known him. I love it and don't know that I could get used to him without it - not that I'd get rid of him if he shaved! Congrats on reaching your goal.

I think it must be impossible to help a spouse stick with a diet. My dh has tried over the years and it has only made me feel like more of a failure when went off whatever diet I was on. For whatever reason, I started Atkins this time with the resolve to stick with it and I pray every day that I will. When he comments on something I tell him to knock it off - he's my husband not my father. It's worked so far and all he says now at the end of the day is "how are you?".

Re: 5 pounds to go!

Kent, as always, awesome!

I look goofy without my goatee as well and my kids take a few days before they'll come near me. As far as DW goes, let's just say without the goat is not a good way to be for me.

I can't wait to catch up to you and I will. I still remember when I was ahead of you. *Jim kicks self*

Re: 5 pounds to go!

After a night at the pool/waterpark, I can only say how much nicer it is this year than last. No longer am I constantly self-conscious (aka sucking in my gut) about my appearance as I float around the lazy river or go down the waterslide. All I can say is hoo'ah for Dr. Atkins and his glorious WOE. Here's to the only thing to be worried about at the aquatic center is how much water just went up your nose.
