Thanks. Sometimes we all need a reminder, especially as we approach goals and start to get heady ideas...

everyone should remember that reaching goal doesn't mean it's over. you have to maintain. you just can't say OH I ACHIEVED...LET'S HAVE CAKE!
it don't work like that.

no heady ideas here, just a constant keep at it.

I keep at it because I feel incredible. I have had heartburn ONCE since I started, I feel great when I workout, I feel good when I wake up in the mornings and rub my hand over my ribcage and hip and dont get the wavey fat rolls.

No more headaches.
Not crashing anymore in the afternoons! No need for naps.
Face isn't swollen.
I am back in my size 0's and I want to stay there!
Joints don't hurt anymore.
Hehehe It's fun to turn heads.
I'm a carnivore so I would rather eat a steak than a bowl of pasta.
Energy, energy, energy!!!

Ohhh....I have to say that after looking at those pics from boonie's post were a very good reason for keeping to this way of life. But the thong had me rolling.... SORRY, I can't help it.

AMEN, GIRL!!

Top reasons to stay on Atkins for me:

1. So I can still get that look of when I tell folk I'm going on 51.
2. So I can still shop in the juniors dept.
3. So I can keep on running til I'm 80.
4. So I can eat my STEAK and love it too!
5. So I never ever have to eat tasteless fat-free crap ever again!!!
6. So I can avoid all those so-called inevitable age-related ailments!
7. So I can be a rockin' grandma one day!!
8. So I don't have to take pills every morning like most other old folk do!
9. So my daughter can continue to tell people "my mom is my inspiration."
10. Yep, that's my reasons!

I once had Gestational Diabetes. I do not have diabetes now, and want it to STAY that way!

I don't like bats OR bat wings under my arms!

There are so many nice, caring, fun and helpful people at ADBB!!

I love to cook new and interesting Atkins Diet ADBB recipes!

I love being able to catch my son again!!

I'd rather wear warmer clothing than be already upholstered.

I'd rather be able to walk or run with the dogs than to have to beg someone else to do it because I don't have the energy.

I like having people think I'm too young to be my children's mother.

I like being able to shop where I want to, rather than where I have to.

I like having the energy to shop.

I like not deafening my hubby with my snoring.

I like sleeping restfully, rather than awakening with sleep apnea.

I like not having such horrid cramps monthly that I have to miss life in general and work in particular.

I like feeling well.

I like the food choices I can make without feeling like I should be guilty about them.

Re: Top Reasons to Stay on Atkins! Add yours.

I'd like to use my dressers, closets and luggage for something else than long term (OR permanent!) storage of my nicest clothes. I'd like to free up the floor, chair and shelf space occupied by fat-clothes and donate them to charity. I see myself in the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini; strutting myself on the beach as I cooly dodge pickup lines from googling, drooling handsome guys. I will live to be at least as old as my Grandmother, and as healthy or better when I go. I will never have chafed inner thighs again! I will be able to sit on all chairs and wooden benches without fear of collapsing them. My son will soon stop poking my gut. Best of all, NO MORE CHRONIC FATIGUE!
