Graphic!!!!! Beware!!!!! Enter With Caution
I have finally worked up the nerve to post pictures of myself! I've tried so many other diets in the past, and I'm praying that Atkins will work as the lifestyle change that I truly need. I have been reading the book at the local library and waiting for my copy to come.

Re: Graphic!!!!! Beware!!!!! Enter With Caution
Hey TW - seems like you just started Atkins too! I went out and bought myself a scale which I wasn't too eager to do since I was afraid of the number but I did.
I say we are both going in the right direction because we are HERE!
Best of luck to you - and now you have inspired me to get my own BEFORE and hopefully, we can later compare of AFTER pictures!Female, 45, 5' 3"

Re: Graphic!!!!! Beware!!!!! Enter With Caution
I did the same thing and tried all kinds of other diets. None had worked for me, they arent strict enough to start and it seems like if had something like fruit or bread, it would just cause me to want to eat more and more. You'll lose it pretty quick, and like they said take pictures every 1-2 months
It'll shock ya.
