It's been a crazy almost 9 months...but I'm finally to my goal. Since I hit about 150, I was pretty happy with my weight and haven't been checking the scale as much as I normally do. I knew that my clothes were still getting looser and that is how I gauged my progress. Finally this morning I stepped on the scale and I was at 139 - 1 pound below my goal weight!!! I'm sad to report that it wasn't an earth shattering as I thought it would be, but it was nice to finally be here.
To celebrate, I went shopping today and bought a really cute sundress. I am still amazed when I try on a size 6 and it's slightly big when I was buying a size 18 only last summer. I'll post some pics as soon as I feel like doing my hair and make-up.
Anyway, there are only two things I want to say. First, if I can do it, anyone can do it. When I first started Atkins I can remember sitting on my couch wanting cookie dough so bad I cried about it. I have always loved food and I had let it rule my life for a long time. But, I made it. Once I really got started I stopped missing all the things I thought I could never live without and now there is nothing even mildly appealing about cookie dough or anything else I used to eat.
Second, I know I haven't been around much lately but during much of my journey this board was my savior. I read other people's stories when I thought that I couldn't go any further, I asked for advice and always got really good information. I don't think for one second without this board that I would have ever made it to my goal.
I've always gotta have a goal so my next one is to be in bikini condition in 29 days - when my boyfriend and I head to Hawaii for a 10 day vacation...crunches and running anyone??
