New Guy--1 week in(9lbs down)

[Andy1977]

Hello Everyone! I'm Andy. I started on 4/17/08 and have been reading all the posts and decided it's time for me to start.
I was 210-212 in this picture below and was 206 when I started last week. This morning I was 197. I'm pumped. This time last year I was 218, so I am hoping in a short amount of time to see 190 then 180 to probably 175-170.

Ditto on the men lose faster comment! My husband and I could eat the same thing and weight melted from him, effortlessly while the sweat on my brow usually shows!!

Atkins was the best thing I ever did for myself ... and for my husband. Celebrate your weight loss victories with us. It will inspire everyone.

I haven't posted an update in a while, but I'm down to 184 as of this morning. That's over 30 pounds from this time last year. I feel great and was shooting for 175-170, so I should be there inside of another 45-60 days. Then I will reevaluate where I should be based on how I look, at that point. I've been going to the gym alot and my diet is for the most part, consistently, Spot On!

I will get some new pics soon, but this one from a couple years ago is the same weight as I'm at now. I even dug around and found that blue shirt that hasn't fit in two years and I feel more comfortable in it than ever. I've been going to the gym alot and my diet has been consistently, Spot On!
