    Re: Pic that made me start Atkins

    Yes Rick... I suspect you're right! She could've saved herself a great deal of cash!

    I once tried diet by self hypnosis. Listened to a wretchedly boring tape morning, noon and night until I knew it by heart and felt like screaming. I actually lost a couple of pounds, but of course regained them like lightning! Oh heavens, the outlandish diets I've tried before now!!! Only Atkins got me to goal and is a way of eating I can live with comfortably.

    Not knocking hypnosis though; I know it has its place. Actually, my Father was a doctor and hypnotherapist... but while being effective for certain things, it certainly didn't work for me when trying to lose weight.

    Glad to hear people are noticing your loss Rick. Hang in there and you'll be at goal before you can say Jack Robinson!

                    WOO HOO Rick! Seems like Jack Robinson and the whooshie fairy might just be having a little dalliance! Try saying the name each night before going to sleep and see what happens! *chuckles*

                    Great going!

                                Rick - Thanks for sharing your picture. It's so hard to face the reality of our weight gain. Glad you were able to and that you were able to and that you are here and doing great!

                                            "Cherubic" I have to be honest, I had to look that one up!!

                                            So, you think I look like a chubby little angel, eh? Well, I'm working on that.

                                            Discolemonade, I like what you did with your hair, and your transformation has been great! That second picture is...... well, um..er... WOW!

                                            CaliforniaCasey... yeah, it was hard, but it needed to be done. And it's all good from here on out. Thanks!

                                            Ottie, I see that the Rams signed your offensive co-ordinator. What's he like. He did really well in interviews here and had a good press conference. The Rams need a makeover...

                                            Thanks everyone.

                                            Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

This picture was taken at Christmas of 2005 and I weighed 250 lbs. Just over two weeks into this WOL and I'm down 18 lbs, and am starting to notice that I've lost some weight in the face.

                                                You doing a great job man, keep it up, and you'll be done in no time at all. You actually look like you don't have much to lose.

                                                    Also, thanks for the "um...er, wow"... the after shot, I kept waiting for someone to make me take it down and no one ever said anything so I guess it's borderline acceptable...It embarasses me everytime I see it, lol...

                                                        Discolemonade,
                                                        I don't see why it would embarass you in the least. I'd expect it's pretty much everyone that's at this site's dream to have a "hot" picture to show off sometime!! Good for you!

                                                        I didn't take it as a shot...

                                                        Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

                                                        Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                                                            Hi. I am very motivated by all of your pictures. I have started the adkins diet at 257 pounds and my goal is to loose down to 165. I am in my first week so far, but have already noticed more energy.
