    Its time for me to brag a little about my progress... 60 pounds in 5 months!

    Hi everyone...
    I am feeling pretty good about myself today and just want to share it with this board because a lot of my success has been due to the support I get here... especially from you in the century club!

    I started Atkins on June 3rd after a trip to the doctor had me top the scales at 305 with high blood pressure and borderline sugar problems. This wol has been a miracle for a girl who literally tried everything before. I love the food, am rarely hungry and feel healthier than I have since I was a teenager. After my two week induction I went back to the doctor to discover that I had dropped 19 pounds, reversed my high blood pressure to normal and stabilized my blood sugar problems. I didnt need any other encouragement... the results were enough for me!

    I am now 5 months and 2 days into this wol and have dropped 60 pounds and well over 50 inches. 10 from my bust and 10 from my waist alone *grin* I felt like it was time for me to show my progress in pictures so here we go... this first shot is me with my kids and was taken 6-8 weeks before I started Atkins. The second pic is me today weighing 245. I am still a big girl and know I have a ways to go yet but for the first time in my life I feel like I can attain this goal of weight loss and a healthier me!

                  Great Job, you have done a wonderfully on this WOL. Thanks for your inspiration.

                  What I know:
                  1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                  2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                  3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                  4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
