  • Down 40 Pounds

    Well...after six months and losing close to 40 pounds I thought I would post some pictures. The before was taken in December 2006...probably at 210 or higher (I look like a sausage!). My new pic was taken today at 169 pounds.

    When I first started it seemed impossible that I could lose 73 pounds but having made it more than half way I know I'll reach my final goal this fall and it feels great.

    Thank you Dr. Atkins and all the great people on this board!

    P.S. The blazer I was wearing in first picture (I could not button it at all at the time) was so huge on me last week that I had to donate it and I bought a new one...size 6!
