  • My Before and After.........Shocking

    Hi guys,

    I am new here. I have been doing atkins diet for a while now. I decided to join this board to help others. Plus I never thought I'd hear myself saying this EVER but I need some advice on how to stop loosing weight (although I will post that on another board). Anyway I used to look at these boards before and after for inspiration so I thought I would post mine. I have never weighed myself but you can see a difference from the photographs.

      rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
      rung 4 - berries, melon

      rung 6 - beans, hummus
      rung 7 - other fruits
      rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)

            Wow! What great progress! And, to think you did it all without being a slave to the scale. So many people get frustrated if the evil scale doesn't go down, even if their pants fall down around their knees. It defies reason that you hold a number on a machine (which no one sees) more dear than how you look in your clothes.

            Congratulations! You look great!
            People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
