    Under 200!!!

    10 weeks ago I began this journey with high hopes and a even higher weight. Today, I weighed myself and was shocked to see 198!! 37 pounds in 10 weeks! This diet rocks. When people ask me how I've lost weight, I tell them that I eat bacon every day for breakfast, that always gets a crazy look.

    I've gone from a size 42 waist to a 36. My brand new XXL wardrobe that I got for Xmas is now obsolete, too baggy to wear. I can now fit in to all my old XL clothes, and even some Large size as well.

    2 fellow workers of mine also started a diet in January but they decided to do the low-cal thing. One has lost 8 pounds, the other 6. I keep telling them to count carbs not cals, they won't hear of it. Their loss I guess, then again...they are not loosing much in comparison.

    Well, I'm off for a 5 mile hike.

    Great progress (not-so)Heavy B
    Keep up the good work!
    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!

                Doesn't it feel good? I can't wait until I get there!

                Maybe you should surprise your co-workers with a copy of the book! I had a relative do Atkins a few years ago who told me she put protein powder in her morning fruit and yogurt smoothies. I don't think she ever read the book, spun her wheels with it and gave up for something else.
                Mini Goals (in no particular order):
                Mini Goal #1: Fit back into "Fat Jeans" - MET 3/25/10!

                  Congratulations!! That is an awesome accomplishment , I have come to believe that atkins is like trying to teach people about charity..sure you can explain it to them but some may not get it...the only way to teach somebody charity is by being an example..you are a walking example of how Atkins works if people don't believe after that then they never will.

                  <------------------>

                  I started atkins in late november but every other week just sort of fell off the wagon and was not working out..late december I started to really follow it and added the gym from november to december I only lost like 7 lbs not following it right..from december to march 18 I lost 50 lbs give or take depending what mood my scale is on lol.
