    17lbs gone...

    Hello, all! I have been on Atkins for 40 days...and have dropped 17lbs and 4 pant sizes! (Thank you, thank you, thank you very much )

    In addition, I am Type 1 Diabetic, my last A1C was 8.3, but, since going on Atkins, my average BG is 114. Now, before you berate me, I have grasped, finally, that Diabetes could remove me from this planet and I have decided after years of hard, fast, loose living that I need to take care of myself.

    I have added a few pics of my before, I hope to keep you updated with my progress, if y'all are interested.

    Starting weight: 257
    Current weight: 240
    Goal weight: 180

    If I can get there before Dec. 16, I'll post a pic of me !!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks in advance for your support, I am kind of alone in this venture!


    Uhhhhhhh....how do you post pics?

    When you post there is a little mountain photo in the little toolbar if you rest your cursor on that little image it will say, insert image. There is a pound sign beside it. While I write this response the insert image icon is located above this writing space.

    You could upload your images to a myspace account or gmail and link them that way, I assume. This is what my photo looks like 16 kilos lighter. maybe there is an easier way.

        Congrats on the loss so far! I have been on less than a week, isn't it amazing how inspirational those first few pounds can be?!!!

        Keep going, I'm alone here, too...Figuratively...I'm a fat woman in a skinny family of carb junkies, so I feel your pain!

        Hugs,
