  • 101lbs...Happy Birthday to me!

    Hello ADBB!

    My 27th birthday was yesterday and this weekend also marked the end of my fifth month on Atkins. In that short amount of time I went from 360lbs to 259lbs! I feel like an entirely different person. I am so excited about my life! I love the compliments I get every day! I am planing to loose around 100lbs more and with this WOE I am sure it can happen. Some of the the coolest things are how my body moves now and how much energy I have. Not to mention that I went from uncomfortable sizes 28-30 to size 20! Most importantly, I sound better on the trumpet than I ever have in my life!

    I regret that I am not the active member I had intended to be when I joined but I do stop in often. I have stopped in today to share my success especially for the benefit of the lurking guests who are considering Atkins. I know that right now someone just like me is reading this and they are desperate and feel like they are eating their life away. Stop considering Atkins and just do it!! It works, it is a miracle, and it is actually really fun! I feel like I have finally started living my life. I know that I can loose the weight and control my eating and if I can do that there is no dream too big! My weight no longer has to hold me back and yours doesn't either. Thanks to everyone here for their input and support and best of luck to everyone in their weightoss journeys!
