  • Open that door cause I'm coming through!!!

    I did it!! I made it to Onederland!!!

    I never weigh myself in the evening but after a long day at the pool I just felt so light!! So I stepped on the scales and there it was. Right in front of my eyes!! 199... Hmmm..better check again...yup 199!! Better check the calibration cause somethings not right...still 199!!! I am laughing and crying and squealing like somebody's piglet!!!

    In a million years I couldn't have dreamed what this day would feel like! I am so happy....

    Which brings me to my before pic that I have never posted here. It is a pic of me at 312 pounds doing what I thought made me happier than anything else in the world! Eating!! With a stupid pig eating grin on my face, in hog heaven at the buffet table!!! I am so embarrassed of this picture, but it is me in all my glory. So if any one reading this has any doubts that Atkins works, you are soooo wrong!! If I can do it, anyone can!!!



    Thank you to all of you. ADBB and CC have been a real lifeline for me..
    I needed so much when I came here. I got every ounce of support and info, anyone could ever ask for. If I would have failed, it would have been because I simply did not want to get healthier!!
    Thank you Dr. Atkins, Thank you ADBB, Thank you to all my friends here...but most of all..
    Thank you God. I am on my way to being what you invisioned for me..a healthy happy individual that knows who she owes her life to!!!

    Hugs, Tammy

        That is just so great. You are an inspiration. Make sure to change your "current weight" in your profile from 200 to 199! 199 is also a goal of mine, just to get under that 200 pound mark. Congrats!

            Tammy you are awesome woman! I'm so proud you did it. I'm still bouncing about with 201-204 depending on salt and water etc... Keep that wedge in the door for me, I'm going to come through eventually! lol!

                              Thank you all so very much! This was definately a whooshy!! I was down to 198 this morning!! I guess I would have fell over if I had waited to weigh till this morning!
                              Onederland is a beautiful place. I'm never going back to Twoterville!!
                              Thanks for the expiring visa 2big!!!
