Yes, I can appreciate what you are saying. It's great to be able to get in the best shape we possibly can....you're certainly doing a great job of it!
Thank you for your encouragement, it means a lot to me. I have a ways to go yet but I am going to get there....I'm fiercely determined to succeed and be fit and maintain this new health for the rest of my life. Some days are harder then others (not in regards to wanting to cheat...I thankfully don't have any desire to do that) but because I look at how much more I have to do and I feel drained at the thought of it...but then I tell myself just to keep it up....and take it day by day and celebrate the small accomplishments because those are the ones that will get me to my goal.
I look in the mirror sometimes and it's so weird because although I have lost 129 lbs....I see myself as how I was. That might sound odd but I know some others who have experienced the same thing....so I just tell myself that it's impossible and keep going!!!
I have had to deal with a lot in life but I have to say, this has been the most challenging...having said that, I have learned a great deal about myself and other things (including patience...still working on that one though LOL!!) and I am tremendously grateful for this new lease on life!
Thanks again for sharing your story.

Hi
I think your pictures and your stories are some of the best motivation I've had on Atkins. I started 4 weeks ago and although I've lost only 8 pounds I am in better shape and have stronger muscles. However, there are times as in any 'diet' where the scale doesn't move and I have no idea why. When I look at your pictures I am motivated to know and believe that this way of eating and lifestyle definitely does work.
Thanks so much for posting them.
Muchas gracias y hasta luego
Jayceeehh
ps. by the way, which kind of sports do you do?
Very inspirational man , I so much needed this, as am thinking all the time about the loose skin after I lose weight. Am @ 125KG now, hummmm I think I'll do weights when I reach 110Kg , again, thank you very much for sharing this and Congrats on the Success
As everyone else has already said, I was SHOCKED at your after picture! I had to scroll back and forth a couple times, and really was only convinced after seeing your tattoo in both pictures. It shows that much of a difference, I though it was a scam!!
Great work, and thank you for all the follow up suggestions! Keep it up, and we are all looking forward to sharing in your success with our goals!!
