20lbs lost, 11inches smaller, from size 16 to size 8

[kiani]

I started Atkins on April 11, 2005. I fell of the wagon for a week in May because a family member was getting married and there was no way I was gonna miss out on the wedding cake and fruit plates.

Let me know what you think:

Before



After:



Can you even tell that I lost 11" all around? At least I can say I'm not a size 16 anymore. I'm now an 8Petite. I still have a goal to loose 20 more lbs in the next 5 or so months

Maybe I should take a picture in that same stripe shirt outfit to make better comparison?

I think I should also go back to keeping a food journal. I'm still using the ketone strips and I haven't been in ketosis in nearly 3 days! I couldn't imagine what I may have eaten that I wasn't in ketosis. Then today, I looked at the limon flavored pork rinds that my hubby got me. Ingredients: SUGAR. Damn.

How tall are you Kiani? Wow, you will be TINY if you're aiming for 108

You look absolutely GORGEOUS. Well done!

I can certainly tell you're way below a 16 from your pic! Congrats on your excellent progress.

I'm 5' `1.5"

108 would be my ULTIMATE. But I'd settle for 114 :icondance

glad you got those pics posted over here! we were having trouble in your journal!

i have to say you hardly looked like you had anything to lose in the first place! all you did was make yourself more skinnier!

IN the before pix, I had a habit of wearing clothes with stripes going down...you know how all the fashion magazines say that this helps to give you a slimmer look. But really, that outfit I wore in the 'after' picture--I bought it before I started Atkins. I couldn't even get my arm into the armhole, or EVEN zip it! Much less squeeze my butt and hips into it. But I bought it because I needed motivation. Everyday, I looked at it while on Atkins.

I'm still considered 'overweight' for my height tho. According to most charts, my high should be 122lbs.
