Kind of a before pic

[Andiepie81]

ok..here goes. This isnt a great pic, but I am so camera shy that I dodge every camera brought out around me. So until I get a better one this will have to do. I am about 20 lbs lighter here..around 250 or so. Oh and the lil baby is not mine he is a friends and his name is Jake.

Re: Kind of a before pic

Thank you for the compliment! I have started and stopped so many times over the last 2 years. But I think I actully got it this time. I really want it and I am in the right frame of mind now. I have been on Induction for about 4 weeks so I am on my way!

Re: Kind of a before pic

Good for you. Stay focused and strong enough to resist temptation. You stated you've been on induction for approximately 4 weeks, so how you coming along? God Bless, Joe

Re: Kind of a before pic

I am getting along pretty well Joe. Thanks for asking. I am past the Induction headache and the cravings, that is the hardest for me. The weekends test me though. I look/looked at weekends as "good times, good food" so I am still getting past that frame of mind. But that too I shall overcome.

Re: Kind of a before pic

I agree with f4n...you and hub are a gorgeous couple! I'm so glad you posted a pic. Its so nice to see a face with names. I'm looking forward to following your success. I can't wait until I'm four weeks into Atkins like you. I'm on day seven and I think about food 24/7 lately. If I'm not craving food I'm wondering if a food is legal on induction...lol.

You can still enjoy good food at the weekends just not the same kind of food you ate before. Today I am roasting a duck, which we will have later with a selection of green beans, mangetout, and onions cooked in butter. Last week-end we had smoke salmon and cream cheese now that is good food.

Re: Kind of a before pic

Aww thank you f4n and Julie. I really appreciate it, and I will let the hubby know..he is sure to blush. You have put a smile on my face.

~ F4n, you are right I will succeed but I will succeed right next to you wondeful people. Look at you, 50 lbs down? I cant wait til I am there! Good job!

~Julie you will be there soon. Believe me, It has taken me about 2 years to get 4 weeks in..lol But hey I figure when you stop starting over and trying is when you truly fail.You will be there before you know it and rockin a hot bod...lol

~Cookie.. you are right all that stuff sounds amazing. I think with me it is just my frame of mind. I think good food is..brownies, chips all that crap. Now I know better and I am making better choices. I have never had salmon I am kind of afraid of it to tell you the truth but I will look for a good recipe and eat outside the box..lol Ok I gotta go )

Re: Kind of a before pic

Hi Andie...sounds like your on your way..like everyone said before me you are a very pretty girl..just think what compliments you'll get when you've lost all the weight your going to loose.
Theres days when I to feel like I'm missing out, no one here I don't believe can say they haven't thought about a chip or a brownie...but one thing for sure...I know exactly where there chip or brownie would end up...and the next time I try on and outfit that use to fit...well theres that damn brownie...wrapped around my waistline...lmao!!!
It does get easier...this is a wol...if you've chosen it --->>> we just have to jump in with both feet....if you haven't yet..come join a challenge..there very motivating when you know your not in this alone...when you get down one of us will be there to pick you back up..and you'll do the same for someone else...

Re: Kind of a before pic

Thanks for posting your lovely pic! It'll be really nice to have as a comparison, later on. Happy Atkineering!

Re: Kind of a before pic

~Char you are so right. I do have my moments of feeling left out but I look at it this way, I would rather feel left out when it comes to food that feel left out when it comes to my weight and how I look. And yes those chips and brownies find their way to all problem places on me, not just one! I think they split up and add a little to each area..lol I love the people on here. Everyone is so supportive and no matter how many times you fall there is always someone to get you back up and on your way. Thank you for your kind and supportive words. =)

~Thank you Sally. I cant wait for the comparison myself!

Re: Kind of a before pic

Dzny~ Thank you! You can do this. Believe me it took me almost 2 years of being a member on here to even post that one. It helps with reminding you of what you no longer want to be. And something to compair to when you do lose the weight. Which you will! I am glad I can help. You can do this. Message me anytime if you need anything. God bless you and yours.
