Thanks to Atkins, a Dream come true

[maribelle]

Thanks to Atkins, I've finally got the energy and the stick-to-it-ness enough to attempt a long desired prodject. A year ago I wouldn't have had the energy to decorate my kitchen the way I envisioned it...now it's half way done, and its SO beautiful! I've been up and down a ladder, reaching, bending, balancing, and in my opinion, all because with Atkins, I've finally lost enough to be able to do it! What will I achieve when I hit goal, I wonder?

I am so happy for you. I know how important it is to be able to do the things we want to. To me its about having the energry to play with my kids

Congrats Maribelle

What's the new kitchen gonna look like? Pictures lady! Before and after shots of the kitchen. I need to redo plenty of places in my house but I'm stuck in the "I can't decide" place. So I'm looking for ideas.

I agree we definitely need to see some before and after pics of your kitchen.

[maribelle]

I'm afraid I don't have a camera....not even a cheap throw 'em away kind. But it was all mixed woods before...a cheap do it yourself job from the one who owned this before we did. I chose a light blue for the cabinet boxes, and darker blue for the doors, and a yellow for the walls...just down right pretty.

Sounds gorgeous, Maribelle. Congratulations on your new kitchen.

It always amazes me what taking control of our eating leads to for so many ADBBers. :hug

SO when is the kitchen warming low carb party going to be?

Happy low carbing

[maribelle]

UMMMMM.... a party??? Where? Where? Oh, you mean at my house??? Oh heck, you can all come right now, and help me finish my kitchen! Then we'll have those sausage flavored donuts Perry was talking about the other day, and some nice cold ice water..... :yes

WTG MARI! Of course you know, we want to see pics of this kitchen project!

[maribelle]

OK, ok, ok...how can I let my Century Club pals down?..I have a friend who has a digital camera. The only problem is she can be occasionally moody. So, I will try to find the appropriate time to ask and see if she will help me. I won't be able to get before pics, as I'm in the middle of it all, but in a week or however long it takes me to finish, I will post some after pics.

You go girl!! What a great weight loss so far. You will be unstoppable when you reach goal!!!

Your kitchen sounds lovely. I really like blue and yellow.

[softnred]
