Hello Domenique...you made my day. I did the same thing when I found this site. I browsed thru the pics and got so inspired by everyone's success. I think that's why I keep posting mine. I wish you the VERY BEST of success with Atkins. It can be done just go for it.

Re: I found another one...

I may sound like a broken record, but you look awesome.

Thanks for sticking around Dez and keeping everyone motivated. Your pics speaks volumes, but the way you take time out to encourage us is just wonderful. I really didn't give Atkins a fair shot before as I should, but I am doing it now ! NO TURNING BACK !

I appreciate your kind words just the same my friend. I seriously love to help and I'm always trying to learn some new stuff to share so trust me when i say I'll be around for the long haul. This is actually my second stab at Atkins and like you, I didn't give my all the first time out. I can say without a doubt I gave 100% this go round and I got it right back and so can everyone else.

Thanks so much. I can't stay out the mall now. I honestly used to hate shopping. True story, I got stuck in a dress that was too small. I was trying it on and couldn't get it past my hips, I tried to pull it back over my head and the darn thing wouldn't move. I had to tear it a little to get it off. I didn't go back to the mall for a good six months after that.

Thanks! I'll have to type something up because I didn't really chart anything. I can say that for the first 8-9 months I did have either scrambled eggs w/cheese and sausage or some kind of omelet for breakfast. Breakfast was always the easiest meal for me. I then started eating salads and sandwiches on lettuce for breakfast. Keep things simple and quick. I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and a husband, I didn't have a lot of time for heavy cooking. Invest in a low-carb cookbook that has really short ingredients, that's what I did...but I'll work on the menus I promise...

Fantastic! You look awesome!
love,
liz

thanks Liz...

Re: I found another one...

Just wanted to say wow. You look great. That dress is big on you if anything. Fits you very well, and how many people can wear white and look good like you do. Congratulations, you encourage me as well! Thanks

Tasha it is so doable so get to taking them pics hunni! You'd probably be surprised at how much smaller you already are compared to when you started.

Thanks so much...pastels and the color white; especially pants, have not been a part of my wardrobe for years. This is a welcome change for me. I was even a little nervous about wearing them when I did. Can ya believe that??

Awesome!

Thanks

Re: I found another one...

I remember when I first joined that I was checking in on your progress and boy you are definitely reaping the rewards of hard work and determination! Congrats! You are an inspiration. If I could figure out how to add pictures, I would probably give it a try but at this point I am a bit challenged.

adding pics is easier than you think chica..
upload them from your camera to shutterfly.com or photobucket.com. Right click on the pics to get the "properties" copy that. type "[img] and paste your picture properties then type "[/img] at the end of it.
that's it!!! now come on and show us whatchu got!
Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm inspiring people to stick with Atkins, it's so worth the work in the end. You've got to inspire people too so make sure to get some pics up soon...I'll be watching for them.
