    Two weddings and ... a 40-pound loss!

    OK, I admit I haven't had much progress in the last couple of months. Well, not on the scale -- but my inches and body fat have gone down quite a bit, so that's enough reason to keep going.

    But I just HAVE to post these! I just got back pics from my wedding (July 1) and -- just for fun -- dug out a photo from my first wedding in 1995. So here I am 11 years later ... older, wiser, happier, and 40 pounds lighter! Life is good!

    170 pounds (at least) in 1995


    131 pounds in 2006

    You look amazing. How long did it take you to lose the 40 pounds?

        Thanks! I was so happy on my wedding day it didn't take much to look amazing!

        The weight loss took six years off and on. I dropped 22 pounds through exercise and portion control but kept falling of the wagon and then got stuck altogether. Then I started Atkins this year and have lost another 17 so far, for a total loss of 39 . Now that I'm close to goal it's a lot harder, but I'm still farther along than I've ever been, so I'm not in a hurry.

                          I agree with Atkid. You prove that women definately do improve with age. You are gorgeous, and I love your wedding dress.

                            Congratulations! You look beautiful. I also had my second wedding this past month, on July 8. I wish I know how to post pictures and I would share (My pictures are in Adobe Photoshop and I don't know what a URL is). My wedding picture favors yours very closely. The dresses are close to being the same and the bouquet is the same, with the exception that my roses were an ivory/pink/green blend instead of red. TOO weird!!! Also, I have lost 30 pounds on Atkins but my goal is 40 as you have lost. Lots in common....congratulations again!
