3 weeks in

[wsbabygirl]

Hey all, thanks for the encouragement! It's been 3 weeks and I'm down 13 lbs! It's amazing how much energy I have and how much better I feel. I thought I had 'stalled' a couple of times but just stayed with it and to my surprise, dropped 3 more lbs the third week.

Here's where I started (I just look so much bulkier):



This is today (March 15, 2010):


So, it's not a BIG difference, but I'm 7lbs now away from goal. And, someone commented that we begin to look younger and even if I don't see it, I'm feeling it. LOL

Keep up the good work everyone.

What rung of OWL are you on?

Only 2 more pounds to pre-maintenance ... unless you started that phase with 10 pounds until goal.

Wsbabygirl you look great and very hot
Also another critical post- can we try to be more positive to people here?

Re: 3 weeks in

I did an extended induction keeping carbs at less than 20. I did Atkins back in 1996; there was no support, very limited yukky recipies, and absolutely nothing 'reduced carbs' in the food store (which I'm not eating at this point).

That first time, the weight flew off but this time it seemed a little resistant. Of course, I'm 14 years older and past that magical 40 mark. So, that's why I stayed an extra week in induction.

Thanks for all the support and kind words. You guys are my heroes!!!

Wow- you look gorgeous! I am inspired by your success. Congratulations --
I am 3 weeks in as well and so far, 12 lbs gone! I' even graduated from the "obese" BMI category WOOOOHOOOO Unfortunately today was the first day I went "off" , as they say, as we had a huge potluck at work for St. Patricks Day. Right back on track now - I actually felt miserable after eating all that "stuff" adn am looking forward to getting back on track.

Keep up the good work

Gee thanks, MooCow. Congrats on your weight loss as well! Seems we're down about the same amount for the same period of time.

I, too, came down out of the obsese BMI. More than that, I feel soooooo much better and I'm starting to enjoy dressing for work again.

Keep up the awesome work!
