    Milestone!

    As of this morning I have officially lost 20 POUNDS!!! Praise the Lord!
    I am so thankful for this board and the guidance I have received.
    I still have plenty to lose but I'm not scared anymore. . . I have seen the results so I know I will make it! I'm averaging about 5 pounds a month. I might not meet my goal of 130 by the end of July. . . more likely 140. But that is ok - I'll take the 140 and keep plugging away. Wow! This summer I might actually wear a swimsuit! Dare to dream!

    To any who are struggling, I hear you. But DO NOT GIVE UP!! Food is energy, not pleasure. This way of thinking has helped me make better choices. Exercise was hard at first too - too tired, not enough time, etc. The first excuse to make an exception will only lead to another excuse and another exception, etc., etc.. NO EXCUSES! - Jen

          You have a wonderful attitude and you will be in a bathing suit this summer! We want to see pictures!

          Sunny!

                          What I know:
                          1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                          2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                          3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                          4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                                                  Wow, you have done great! If I were you, I would get that swimsuit and start taking pictures like once a month in it for you to look at to see the changes. With working out, sometimes you still lose inches but it may not be realized on the scale. When the scale disappoints me, I go to my measurements and pictures and it makes me feel better because what does it matter that the scale says if you look better!!
