    On the occasion of my 50 pound & 4 month milestones

    I thought I'd post some before and after shots, but I never thought how hard it would be to find full body shots of my "before" days. I was so careful not to let my whole self be photographed that this was ALL I could find, but they certainly illustrate the loss. I still have a long way to go, but I'm thrilled by my progress so far.

    Before @ 275 pounds, size 24: All taken in 2005, one in April, 2 at Christmas:


    After @ 225, size 18. All taken yesterday 5/3:


    I've been on Atkins for exactly 4 months as of yesterday, and have lost 50 pounds. Here are some stats about my progress:


    Female / Currently on Extended Induction (again), begun 6/2/08.

    I did Extended Induction from 1/3 to 5/9 (2006) and lost 55 pounds, so I know I can do it again!

    The reason I quit...

            You look AWESOME! Congrats on the weight loss. KEEP IT UP. You look so much younger!!!!

            I have a five year old (and 8 year old and 5 month old) but the 5 year old weighs almost 50 lbs. I just keep telling myself that I'm lugging around on my body the weight of a 5 year old child and it keeps me focused. You've lost the weight of a whole 5 year old child already! How cool is that!

            WAY TO GO!!!
