    Thanks Everyone! - 44 lbs. lost and counting

    Hi everyone - just wanted to thank everyone here for your wonderful help & advice - most of which I've benefited from by lurking and reading through your posts.

    I started Atkins in late August 2006, at 336 pounds. At present (Jan. 14), I'm at 292 (that's a 44 pound loss). Goal weight is 195. I have a goal of doing a lot of bicycle touring with my new Trek 520 bike (which I purchased as a reward for getting below 300).

    Just some encouragement to those who may be starting out - stick with it, don't quit, this is a LIFESTYLE, not a "diet". Stick to the Atkins book, but if you get off track, get back on the Atkins horse and start riding it again.

    Thanks again for this board and everyone's support!

      Congrats Teeja!!!

      I agree...falling off is enevitable at some point...getting back on is the only way to success.

          Congratulations Teeja on your 44 lb loss. That's awesome!

          Also awesome is to reward yourself with a bicycle. Think of the fun you'll have riding around and getting in your exercise in such a pleasant way!
