I was debating whether or not I was going to post anything, but I decided ... why not. (Smile)
I started Atkins on January 31, 2005, at 230 pounds. I had always blamed it on pregnancy weight since I gained 50 pounds with my daughter. But after I started planning her 4th birthday party, I realized I really couldn't keep using that excuse. (Smile)
In the year, I have lost 65 pounds. It would have been more if I didn't cheat. I went the first 6 months of no cheating whatsoever. Then I allowed myself just something little. Trust me, it's hard to stop once you started allowing yourself to "cheat just this once." 3-4 months later, I realized that I needed to stop the cheating and then starting, cheating and then starting.
BUT, I did want to say that it does work. I'm hoping that for the next year, I'll be able to take off another 35 pounds, give or take. I know it's possible since I'm already amazed at what I've been able to lose so far.
My signature has a picture of me at my beginning weight, but I figured that I'd add another picture to this post. Here's a picture of me from a week ago.
