  • 1 year in, before and during photos.

    I started Atkins on Feb. 22, 2009. I have now been on the diet for a year without any slip ups or cheat days and I feel great. I've been lucky to lose my weight quickly and have gone from 430 lbs to 259 lbs. I'm still a ways off from my goal weight, but in the last few months I'm finally starting to notice the changes in my appearance. I have had a few people mention that I should post before and after pictures and now seems like a good time. But before I get to that I just want to say thanks to everybody who posts on this site. I'm not the most active member, I barely ever post. But I read the posts on this site often, and your advice has helped me on many occasions. The last year has been the best year of my life and I look forward to this year being even better. Oh, and a special thanks to Sarina D. Your story is a great inspiration and helped me realize that I had the chance to change my life for the better. Thank you so much. Okay, enough with all of that, let's see if I can actually post some pictures without messing it up too badly.

    And these are a couple pictures I had a friend take today.

    And I forgot to mention that these aren't the greatest photos, but they are all I could find. I used to avoid having pictures taken whenever I could.

                            Thanks for the kind words everybody. And ladyshunnshine, I have heard quite a bit that I look younger. My cousin even started referring to me as "twelve-year-old" I actually feel a lot younger too, I was always feeling tired and worn-out before. But I feel great now.
