    Achieved my teenage weight today!

    Weighed in at 203 lb this morning.

    As we count in England that's fourteen and a half stone, and the weight I was in my late teens as I acheived my adult height of 6 ft 3 in.

    I was a bit podgy even then! After climing to 16 stone (224lb) through my University days, I graduated from the Professionally Qualified Officers' course at the Sandhurst Military Acadamy aged 27, and weighing fourteen stone two pounds. So that is my next target - 198 lb. 208 lb pictures below, but more when I get to 14 stone!

    I must say I have not felt so good for a long time. I have never eaten better and I am still loosing weight, but quite slowly now!

    I am cycling 15 miles a day, and could do much more without strain.

    Let me offer thanks to all on this list who supported me over the last 18 months while my weight has fallen from eighteen stone eight pounds - 260 lb.

    Let me offer encouragement to those who still wrestle with the carbs and the pounds.

    And let me repeat again what the Base Senior Medical Officer said to me:

    "Do Atkins - it works."
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

          Labarum,

          Awesome job!. What is it with m,ilitary doctors and Atkins. My father was a pilot and was always right at the weight limit, so when he had a flight physical coming up he would do Atkins to get under weight. And that was back in the 70's.

          Way to go!
          Jim

                      Lol! Well done, Labarum. It's great to see people hitting milestones in their weightloss and it's so encouraging to the rest of us.

                      Will take me a while to get to MY teenage weight goal but you'll hear all about it when that happens.

                      Keep up the good work - and it's also great to see another Brit doing well on Atkins as there don't seem to be that many of us around compared with the thousands doing WW etc...

                          Thanks for the kind words Bowulf, but your transformation is more impressive than mine.

                          I know I could make faster progress. The trouble is, I am enjoying eating this way so much. I dont miss any of the carbs or any of the sweet stuff - even tomatoes I can find too sweet these days.

                          Quite amazing!

                          I go on holiday soon to a very nice hotel in Cyprus where, for breakfast, I will stuff my face full of smoked salmon, lettuce and cucmber. Tough life, isn't it?

                            You are forgetting something though. This WOE is boring, and no one can stay on these foods for long eating just meat and cheese and more meat. Now get with the program and start complaining about the monotony of the overload of bacon! Or how you can never find anything acceptable to eat while on vacation?
