30 pounds down, before and during!

Hi, I hope know one is offended by my painted on bathing suit. I had taken the picture in bra and panties......so I did not want to post that one "as is"...LOL. This is 10 months of Atkins WOL. I would be further along except for the fact that I had a 4 month stall in the middle of it. The stall was from dairy and nuts, I cut those out and am losing slowly but steadily. Thank you Dr. Atkins, your plan really works! I have around 30 more pounds to go....half way there!! Whooo Hooooo. Trish

before: size 18-20/sept 2004 (I wish I had taken the full length picture, but you get the idea)
during:-size 12/ june30, 2005

I am 5 foot 3 inches. I added height to my stats in my post a few moments after I read your reply. Thank you, that stall was really tough, but low and behold I found the answers to my stall in the DANDR book! :icondance

Thank you everyone......I swear, I look at the pic for inspiration to, along with everyone elses great pictures! LOL! My bum HAS gotten smaller! It's a great feeling....keeping me motivated, and I want to lose more, but I have Patience.......... Afterall, this isn't just a diet, it's a permanent Way Of Life! Trish

P.S. I'm wearing my new pair of jeans (second hand, from thrift store), that are Old Navy size 12's! I like them so much that I hemmed them up, they were longs and I wear regulars! I can't believe I can wear a size 12! Granted, Old Navy's run a bit bigger, but it still feels good

You look way taller and overall, excellent!!

Except for the hair being the same, from the back, you are a new person. DO you get a lot of compliments or people who don't recognize you?

Thank you! People always think I am taller because my legs are longer then the upper half of my body. My legs are thin, so I only lost weight in my upper body and butt! That cursed apple shape! Actually know one I know has even commented that I have lost weight. Except for one of my friends who looked at me and said, "oh, you really have lost weight", she said that last week. You see, I am on an Air Force base, the community is transient. All my friends are new friends. The longest term friend I have here is one year, she is the one who noticed.
My biggest compliment support comes from my 7 year old daughter. She tells me nearly every day that I look great and am getting so thin. My husband makes periodic comments as well.

I am excited about seeing my family next time we travel, I should hear allot of comments. Hopefully, I'll be thinner by then.

Oh yea, I have one overweight neighbor lady who has been looking me over and glaring....from her, that is a compliment...she isn't a very nice person.

I know I am making progress, and taking this picture the other day really showed me that I am making progress. I could see it!
