Re: trying pictures....

Hi out there...

it's always good to get your notes of support. I'm not sure about wearing a bikini out in public... but to be comfortable and confident would be awesome!

you will get there soon enough!

Erica -- good for you for posting before photos. So many wait until they have progress to show, but I think posting the befores is great motivation to keep going. You'll be glad you did. The camera often sees things we don't, and I'm sure you'll be able to notice real progress!

Take care, and best of luck!

hi Baarb...

Fraiser is an awesome walking friend! we just got in from a good one and he is sleeping it off as we speak.

I have a question... How/where do you guys get those scale picture things.. can't seem to figure it out!

thanks for checking in...

are you referring to the tickers you see in some of the signatures? most come from the tickerfactory

OMG! I could just squeeze that doggie! He looks like such a love.

I'm glad that you could find some "bad" pictures because believe it or not, you're going to want to see what you used to look like. You are going to look so good that others will not believe that you were ever overweight. Then you will be glad to whip them out.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Re: trying pictures....

you can do it, its more mental than physical! i kept concentrating on the physical aspect of atkins (am i losing weight or not, daily weigh-ins) and not addressing the mental aspect of it(being patient and conditioning myself to my new dietary choices)

once i concentrated on my patience, the weight came off on its own.

Re: trying pictures....

helloooo
yes, Patience and I are becoming good friends! even tho I am losing slowly I am so grateful to be in control of my food. I don't have that guilty feeling every night and no more justifying what I ate that day... and I don't feel so puffy. anyway, I am down one more pound so that is good too!
here's wishing you all a good week... and again, thanks for your much needed support!!!

Re: trying pictures....

Hello there. Thanks for the pics. Aaaahhhh ... what a lovely huggable doggie. Can I just give you a word of encouragement here my luv. You say you went looking for "bad" pics. But I just want to say that the one of you in the snow is beautiful. You are a lovely looking woman. There is a radiance about your face in that picture. You have beautiful eyes and your hair is LUSH!!! So ... soon you will be thinner and feeling better about yourself. But you need to know that are pretty damn good looking to start with. Let us know how you get on okay? One thing I do know ... I'm looking forward to seeing you feeling happier about yourself - but you will still be beautiful, either way.

Re: trying pictures....

holy smokes, thanks GaynorA. such kind words! I needed to hear that!

I just got back from a quick road trip ... well.. we had a few drinks and I ate too much! eeeew, chips and dip, nachos and guacamole.... I felt so sick. it just reinforced that I need (and want) to eat this way to feel well. I felt guilty again and I do NOT wish to go there anymore!

anyway thanks again, you are very kind and I do appreciate it!

ps
are you getting close to goal? how is your journey going?

Re: trying pictures....

Hi again. I did Atkins 2 years ago and lost over 90lbs in 3.5 months. Went from size 24 to size 12 (UK sizes). Then I met my partner. Got all luvved up and far to contended and went back to just eating any old thing I liked. Got myself back up to size 18!!! (aaarrrggghh ... noooooooo!!!). But, then caught myself in the act and decided to go back on Atkins. Now I'm doing it rung by rung. Have been on Atkins for 4 weeks now. Lost 14lbs. Going slower this time, but I'm determined to stick it out and work up the rungs - so that I know better this time how to eat properly when I get to maintenance. My partner is doing it with me - which helps. So I've still got some way to go. Last time I got down to 82kgs and I felt happy at that 'cos I was size 12. Going to see if I can get down to around 75 this time. Luv to ya. Hugs to you and doggie!!
