    50 pounds down the drain

    I posted this in the main forum but I really wanted to post this here too. You guys have been my home for most of my Atkins life style and I feel like i wouldn't have made it through without all of your help and support.

    This morning I stepped on the scale and was at 190. That's 50 pounds down since I started this WOL back in Mid December. I can't believe it. I don't think it has actually sunk in yet. Back when I started I didn't think this was going to work for me, in fact I was pretty sure that it wouldn't, but I knew I had to try something, I was miserable. So I tried it and here I am.

    I'm about half way to goal, so I still have a long way to go but I feel good about my progress so far and I know that I'll make it. I have learned so much along the way not just about eating right but about myself, the person I am and the person I want to be. I am so grateful to this program for getting me closer that that person. It hasn't always been easy, I cheated once, and I got so caught up in the frankenfood trap that it took a pic axe and a shovel for me to find my way out, but I am now free. I am doing things the way I'm supposed to, I'd like to think that Dr. Atkins would be proud.

                Thank you guys, I really appreciate all your nice words.

                I really mean it when I say that I would be totally lost without all of you here. At the beginning you guided me, pushed me back on plan when I had slightly veered off, then you encouraged me when I was having a hard time with the excercise, you motivated me, now all of you inspire me. Thank you so much.
