    I CAN"T WAIT!!

    morning all!!! it is monday (aarrgghh!) and i did NOT want to come to work today...must have been that i had TOO MUCH FUN on my weekend!!! i am not sure where to share this so i hope it is ok to post it here.

    for all of you who might wonder, for all of you who wish for success, for all of you who question if all this darn water, exercise, etc is worth it.... you are making a LIFESTYLE CHANGE AND THAT IS NOT EASY!!!!.....but it is WORTH IT!

    i started slim in 6 a week ago saturday. i have 8 weeks now to the wedding. STRESS! but i am doubly committed...thanks to some of you, i am enduring the torture of the slim in 6 workout DAILY. i am drowning myself in water. today i had to pass on the donuts in the staff lounge (i LOVE donuts)...but in return......

    an advisor i had not seen in a month was wowed this morning when she saw me...she asked me what i had been doing. i answered "working my butt off". she said she wished i had told her it was easy...no such thing.

    last night i noticed that my engagement ring is dangerously loose. must get it back to the jeweler ASAP.

    my SON told me this weekend "mom you look really beautiful"....my 19 year old....yippee!!

    e. took a photo of me at the beach with my best gal pal and maid of honor...i compared it to the photo of us at christmas...i have my old face back!

    i just bought a pair of size 10 capris from old navy 2 weeks ago. i took them to san diego this weekend. they are TOO big and i got to exchange them for a size 8! (single digits...yeah!)

    those are BIG VICTORIES!!!!! am i still impatient? yep...i still have 20 pounds to go. i meet with the tailor for my dress next week! will i go home today and turn on that darn DVD...yep...will i chug that H20. i will pass on the evil sugar and carbs....AND I WILL FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS!

    I promised myself i would not weigh and measure until this friday....i gotta say I CAN"T WAIT!!!!! (really hoping for under 170!)

    hang in there friends...THIS WORKS!!! if it works for ME...it WILL work for YOU....IT WILL!!!

            Bless your little tiny heart!!! You're an inspiration! I'm on extended induction and to me it doesn't feel like a whole lot of change, but I know I'll get there. I'm thinking of moving on. That might be the boost I need. Of course I just started April 16th. My son is making sure I'll get some exercise or maybe he's just trying to kill me. He found a sale on jump ropes so he bought 2! I may be 34 and I may be overweight but I can still jump rope!(Not proud of how I feel afterwards but I can still do it). I was just wondering, how tall are you? I saw 174 and size 8 and I was floored. I'm 5'7" and 176 and my 12's are kinda tight. Don't mean to pry, just wondering.

                Great progress
                Keep on keeping on!!
                Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                  MS, I loved your post! You are a shining example of Atkins, do you know it? You're dedicated, you eat great foods, you exercise like a pro, and you drink your water! Yeah girly, you earned those 8s! I can't rep you, so consider yourself FEPPED!

                  Missy--thanks to strength training, many of us can wear smaller sizes! At 5'8", I weigh 189 and I'm in a comfortable size 12, on my way to a size 10.
