    still going strong!

    Hi All
    I haven't posted for months but I have been busy planning my wedding. the good news is I am down to 159lbs from 233lbs and I am feeling fabulous. At 5'7" i am wearing uk size 10/12 and loving every second. I have had final fitting of my dress so can't lose anymore until after 4th April so enjoying blueberries and nuts to give me those extra carbs until I can lose again. thanks you all for your support and ideas you are all such an inspiration. Even when i don't post I often visit the boards and read how everyone is doing, it helps to keep me focused.

    love and respect
    jane

    Wow!! That is fantastic. I bet your dress looks wonderful. A UK size 10/12 at 5'7" is my absolute dream! You are at my goal weight. How long has it taken? Have you restricted calories? Surely you don't need to lose anymore? Zx

      hi thanks for the reply. i haven't even thought about calories. i just watch my carbs and drink plenty of water. I have been on atkins since 15th jan 08 so just over a year but was 170 in july 08 and have just really slowed down my loss so that I feel confident I can maintain it. I love pistaschios so they are what i grab first when i need a few more carbs. I cried on Saturday when I stood infront of the mirror at the bridal shop I felt like the me I saw in the mirror finally matched the way I had felt on the inside. Don't know if that makes sense to you?
      but good luck and I have faith that you can acheive what ever you set your sights on


      Best wishes
      Jane

        Yes I do understand why you cried. You have done so well and you can be proud and confident on your big day without worrying whether you look big from certain angles etc.! I went from 222 to 189 for my wedding - I was a small size 16 and felt good (although I wish I had lost a bit more but hey ho!) I have great memories from my wedding and love looking at the photos. Congratulations again x

            Well done, Jane

            We all look forward to seeing the photos of your wedding too
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
