    Something to think about..

    You know sometimes I get frustrated when the scales don't move or I am struggling..but I am down 37lbs since April which is WAY better then be up those 37 lbs..at one time I was pushing to hit 300lbs..now I am pushing to get below that 250.. It won't be long

    But anyway The outfit I have on in my first picture I wore to church on Sunday...So yesterday when I wore it to church its hanging off of me.. But I LOVE those pants..but soon I won't be able to wear them... a friend at church said OH my gosh you are doing great....I can really see it (Bless her..since my family sees NOTHING..grrr) In away I was so happy about those pants..Yesterday I went to the bathroom without unzipping those pants.. They zip on the side and I just pulled them on and off..hahaha..

    Now...my 3rd picture with the Jean capris... I WORE them this weekend... OUT.. That has been one of my goals.. When I first started I couldn't even get them over my thighs.. They are still a tad bit tight on my butt...But I wore them.. Not use to jeans..haven't worn them in probably 15years..

    I look so forward to watching those capris get loose on me.. I just gotta remember this when I am feeling discouraged..

    Hey Sandy,

    Great point! I love it when you can take trousers off without undoing them. Belts suddenly become important

    You're doing so well! Congrats

              Sandy you have it so right. When I get down thinking about the weight that is not coming off, I think about the weight that has already come off. I first began my atkins adventure in March of this year and lost 30 pounds by May. Then I got loose with the plan and pretty soon it was out the window and I gain 15lbs back. I restarted 10/8/07 and have lost 11 of those 15lbs. I am almost back to where I left off and it feels great. I regret not sticking with it before but I don't let it get me down. I think hey I am still down 20+ pounds and if someone said hey Starr would you like to be 20 pounds lighter 7 months from now I would say HECK YEAH! So that is what keeps me going. When I think about throwing in the towel I think about where I could be 1 month, 2 months, or even a year from now. I know I will be happier sticking to the program now than giving up and looking back again! You are doing great. I am not going to say "You didn't put on this weight overnight so you are not going to lose it overnight", because I hate that saying...it gives me no comfort and does not really put thing into prospective for me. So I will say this....Good things come to those who wait...and I will take a quote I saw on another members siggy. The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!!

                  Sandy thanks for sharing your thoughts with us today ............ It's just wonderful to hear your spirits soar and to know you are fully commited. You are making progress and I can't wait for the post in the future to show those jeans falling off of you and your report to be about how you are thrilled to be here still

                    LOL...well when those pants start falling down I will have to quit wearing them cause they don't have belt loops.. I will say my capri pants that I wear a belt with I started at the first holes and now I have to hook them in the 3rd

                        Sandy, I printed this post of yours out and am putting it on my bathroom mirror. It is the perfect, articulate real-life example of that lesson we all repeat to each other, but rarely internalize ourselves: It's not the scale. It's the inches.

                        And boy is that true! You skinny girl, you!

You have lost 55 and that is alot! I keep telling myself.. WOW you have lost almost 40lbs! By Summer I would LOVE to be under 200... That would be so awesome. We can do this..
