    Can't believe I'm showing my fat pics!

    Hey guys! I cannot believe I'm posting here (more so I cannot believe the results I've achieved thus far) Well, shamefully I managed to gain about 70 lbs in a year after a horrendous breakup. (i thought sandwiches would make it all better) After seeing a HORRIBLE picture of myself in July of 2006, I finally realized how much I had let myself go. It's amazing how you can deny and ignore it. So in July on my 25th birthday I decided to take back control of my life and go low carb (a way I had always eaten in the past when I was at my normal weight.) Well it's about a year and a half later, a lot of work, and 73 lbs less. I am finally back to my happy, confidant, and most importantly, healthy self. I'm currently working on toning up and hope to end up at around 140 lbs, but the end is in sight. I remember when I started up the "diet" looking at before and after pics and being amazed and inspired and said to myself I would post mine if I was successful. Well, I'm eating my words, so here it goes. (This is a big deal, I won't even show the fam my fat pics, haha) I'm new to the picture thing, hopefully these will work. Hopefully in a few months I will have even more results to show.

            WOW.. Great work really.. I got little confused though at first when I saw your first picture.. was not able to find that fat you were referring to in your post title. "What is she talking about!! "Don't I wish my girlfriend was hot like this?!" And when I scroll down... "Oooooh, yea I can see what she is talking about now.. what a difference!!!".. AMAZING.. Really GREAT job.. CONGRATULATIONS..

                  Re: Can't believe I'm showing my fat pics!

                  Thanks guys! I kick started my exercise at the beginning with the slim in6 videos, which was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but no regrets. Once I got into semi respectable shape I went back to my old gym (I've been a gym rat most of my life and was totally ashmed of the shape I had gotten into.. I know counterproductive) I've been doing turbo kick classes twice a week (just an intense yet amazingly fun form of kickboxing) with three days of eliptical and four days of strength workouts (nothing too intense) with 2 days a week off. I have no plans of ever going back to where I was. I think the most important "exercise" I've done over the past year is to look at why and when I was eating and found that I was using food for the wrong reasons. Anyhoo, good luck everyone, you are all looking great and are total inspirations!

                              1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                              2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                              3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                              4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
