thanks so much everyone! I wish you all great success with Atkins as I have had. It's not been easy but it's darn well been worth it in the end.

You look absolutely amazing!! I loved the fact that you tried on your wedding dress again and got pictures. What a way to show off your weight loss. You will need to re-do your vows on one of you and your hubbies anniversaries. Honestly, you look great!

Mostly the date, what exercise I did for the day and my water intake. It helps keep and if I have an unexplained gain then I'll document what I eat for a week. My journal is a VERY IMPORTANT tool in keeping me on the weight loss track. It's cute...make sure you get one that's cute!

Re: Pics don't lie-Atkins does work.

Tina it's really nice to meet you.
I have got to tell you that I get all misty when someone posts to me because there was a time where I thought I was destined to keep the weight I so desperately wanted to get rid of. It was hard some days and then other days the weight seemed to melt off. All in all, I can say that Atkins has given me the most consistent results and allowed me to eat close to "normal" and that has been such a great help. I KNOW I wouldn't have had half the success without sites like ADBB. A solid support base is essential because not everyone is going to understand what you're doing and then there will surely be times when YOU have questions and need help. Be sure to visit all the different threads; even if you don't always post. Just read and absorb everything low-carb you can and then truly believe in yourself. I know I sure do!
Good luck!

Wow. What a transformation! You look fantabulous!!
You go girl!!

Re: Pics don't lie-Atkins does work.

I’m glad my pics are able to inspire and or encourage. Weight loss is such an emotional process and I really believe the more validation people can get the more likely they will be to stay encouraged when they might otherwise give up. Don’t quit!!! Keep going!! You can do this!!

You look amazing! I especially like the pics of your journal. (I'm kind of a journal junkie)

Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks and you're welcome. I swear, that darn journal of mine has been a blessing and a curse. There are times when I'm not working out a lot and I beat myself up because I look back at my journal and see some pretty die-hard workouts that I have done. It's a great tool though because it's a self motivator; if I did it "then" I can do it now.
All the best to you!

Chile...I couldn't stay out the camera and I'm so darn glad because my pics really help me keep things in perspective when I have my weight loss pity party days. Make sure to take pics of your progress constantly!
