  • Before And During

    Hey guys...I don't post here much, more of a reader for inspiration and information. I lurked here forever before actually starting. Then I started here doing Atkins in February. I just thought I would post some pictures to get some feed back.



    Picture One (Before):
    Weight: 284+
    Waist: 48 Jeans
    Shirt: 2XL...and had a couple 3X's (2X in picture)


    Picture Two (During...taken today):
    Weight: 199
    Waist 34 Jeans
    Shirt: Medium

    I'm hoping to get down to 185 or 175 then find a way to bulk up.

    I've always liked looking at the pictures in here and they have helped me...maybe I can help someone else with my pictures so far.

              What a difference! You've done fantastic in such a short time. I also love looking at the before/during/after photos cause you can see the excitement through the eyes and the shrinking body. Thanks for sharing!!!

                  Hey well done! You already look years younger! You can really notice a narrowing of your waistline in the pics - it must make you feel so proud. You're sprinting towards your goal weight now, keep up the great work!

                    You can definitely see the difference bro... You will get there, it just takes a little time, for some of us. And as for the "goggles", everyone has them. It takes a little getting used to, because we have seen ourselves one way for so long, and when there is a quick change in apprearance, our mind tries to tell us that there isn't a real change, so the shock doesn't affect us...

                    Heck, I was at the store the other day, and I was trying on some jeans. I was checking out my own butt. Soon enough, you'll be checking out your own butt in that dressing room mirror also.


                    "Of course she wants me. Heck, I can hardly keep my hands off myself..."




                    **wasn't aware of the censor... Edited post.


                    P.S. Is that a box of cereal I see on your fridge?

                      You look great, Wonderwall. Keep up the good work! Treat yourself to some new smaller shirts!!!!
                      As for the cereal box, we know that it's just where you keep your pork rinds so that your roommate will stay out of them! (Sheesh, you can't get away with anything around here!)

                            Yeah it's the best problem I've ever had! I wore my biggest pants as long as I could, but I am moving around a lot at work and that didn't work well always pulling them up. Luckily I had a size smaller that I had grown out, so i wore those for a long time and finally had to buy new ones.
