    Before and during - less than 20 lbs difference

    Here I am in January, two and a half months before I started Atkins:


    And here I am about 30 minutes ago:


    There is only about 17 - 18 pounds difference between the two photos. The first photo is a pretty dramatic demonstration of what a sustained diet of bread, rice and sugary crap does to my body. I really need to blow it up, laminate it and stick it on the refrigerator. And keep a small one in my wallet to show any jerk who tries to hassle me about eating a low-carb diet.

    Still have a lot more weight I'd like to lose, but I feel armed and ready to keep going.

                  You look great. Your face and neck are so slender now, and your belly fat seems to have melted away.

                    Thanks everyone!

                    Yesterday evening I went to a meeting for my SCA group. There were six other women there: and all but one of them were obese or morbidly obese. The hostess put out pita chips and dip, cookies, and strawberries with a brown sugar and sour cream dip. They were all tucking into this stuff and they noticed I was not partaking, and I told them I am trying to lose weight. So one of them says, "Well, have some strawberries. Those are good." at which point I told them I was on Atkins. A couple of them visibly twitched when I said Atkins! It was so funny! And then the strawberry woman said, "Ohhhhh ... I'm sorry." I was like - WTF? I wish I'd had that 'before' photo with me, I would have whipped it right out and said, "There's nothing here to be sorry about, hon!"
