I started Atkins on June 26th, 2003 at (gasp!) 270 pounds. My measurements were as follows:
Arms- 16"
Chest- 55"
Waist- 50.5"
Hips- 51"
Thighs- 26 1/4"
Today, I weigh 239 pounds and my measurements are as follows:
Arms- 14.5" (down 1.75" each!)
Chest- 51" (down 4")
Waist- 44.5" (down 6")
Hips- 46" (down 5")
Thighs- 23 1/4" (down 3" each!)
For a total of 24.5 inches!!
I LOVE my new WOE! I never thought I would get this far. Never thought I would see the 230's again. But, thanks to Dr Atkins, and all of the wonderful people on this board (Brook and 2big, you are both SUCH an inspiration to me!), I have lost (gotta say it again!) THIRTY-ONE POUNDS!!!
My next mini-goal is 220 by September 10th (my birthday), and once I get there, I will shoot for 199 by Christmas. I am staying on Induction for as long as I can...I'm not bored with my food choices yet, so I think I can safely stay on Induction until at least the first of the year....but to start 2004 at below 200 would be sooooo wonderful! I haven't been under 200 since hubby and I got married in 1996!!
So there it is, my success thus far. I know that I am nowhere near my final goal, but still, I FEEL successful! I have more energy (I just finished painting my daughters bedroom AND laying tile in it! Something I would have badgered hubby to do even a few months ago!), I LOVE to go out and play with my kids now (something I dreaded and put off a few months ago!), and am even *almost* starting to like the way I look....*almost*
For all you newbies out there, or those who may be losing slowly and thinking of giving up...stay strong, stick with it...it CAN be done!
