  • I'm Still Here...

    It's been a while since I dropped in. Terribly sorry about that. I stalled for a good long while, but I didn't sweat it since I'm looking at this as a life style change rather than a quick weight fix.

    No cheating on my part, and my hubby is so proud. When I hit the month long stall, I didn't gain just seemed locked on 165. (Just FYI sake, that is a weight I hung at for quiet a few years before I gained up to 175.)

    I basically tucked the scales away to keep from getting discouraged and stayed going as I'd been doing for the sake of my blood sugar - which is the absolute best it's been in 4 years.

    I'm so glad I did stay on track during the stall month, I finally broke through this morning. Woot! I've lost 11 pounds overall, and I'm down something like 16 or 17 inches total.

    I'm also fitting back in my favorite old A&F size 12's. It's wonderful. The first time I was able to pull them on and zip them without feeling like I was being squeezed in half, I sat on the edge of the bed and cried. No kidding.

    Now to just reach that next mini goal...

    Oh good for you... I would cry for you, but I am trying to hold back. I can about imagine how good it felt. I have a pair of 14's I cant wait to see on my again.

    I am so happy for you... way to stick with the plan.

        Don't wait to long to try those 14s on, I have know quite a few folks who skipped whole sizes cause they didn't know that on Atkins you lose INCHES more readily than pounds



        41 pounds down and counting

          Congrats on the pants! I did that last week, got a pair zipped without having to lay down. It is a wonderful feeling. I then pulled out the next pair and tried them on. Guess what, I got them all the way up! Not zipped, but up! LOL I do that periodically to see my progress and when I go to the next size down I take the old to the goodwill. I figure if I don't stay on track I'll have to go naked! Just a little trick I use for myself since I have a couple pairs of pants in every size down to the size I'm going to be someday!
