    Before and during; 70+ pounds down

    I started Atkins a little less than six months ago. Here are a couple of photos of me between 345 pounds (my Atkins starting weight) and 355 pounds (my highest weight). The third one (with my dogs) was taken a couple of weeks before I started Atkins.










    And now some pics from a recent trip to a U2 concert. The person with me is my then-girlfriend, who became my fiancee during the concert....







    I'm currently down ~72 pounds, have dropped from 50-inch waist to a 40-inch waist, and feel great physically. I have plenty of work left to do, but looking at these pictures makes me realize how far I've already come. Thanks, ADBB!
