    11 Inches GONE!!!!



    Yep, I got measured by my trainer today, and after nearly 4 weeks of working out and being back firmly on the Atkins wagon I have lost 11 inches all over!!!! I would not have believed it if I had measured myself!

    My main losses were around the diaphram, thighs and calves and i'm exstatic!!!!

    Goto love the results when you work at it!!

    A very happy Kay

    That is WONDERFUL Kay! Keep up with the measurements - they often show results when the scale doesn't.

    Also - this is strange but true - get a pair of pants, a skirt, or something like that which is too small. (I started with a skirt I couldn't get over my hips) Every week at weigh in I would try the skirt on. Even the weeks where I actually went UP in weight or didn't move in my measurements - I could see a difference in the clothes. That kept me going even in the 'slow' weeks! Now that skirt is zipping up easily - and I'm looking forward to it FALLING OFF!

    Congrats!

      Thanks Kacey!! I'm staying away from the scales at the moment - don't want to get into that routine again, so I get measured once a month and that is all!!

      I have some clothes that don't fit, but I think i'm going to wait a month more before I try them on (a little nervous they won't fit, and I am so motivated right now, I don't want to risk it!)

              Absolutely wonderful
              Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
              he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                  Excellent! Weight is good, but the difference in inches is always great to see! I plan on checking out my inches on 12/31/06. I first took measurement in the beginning. Hope to have great results as you did! Keep up the good work!

                      That's great news!!! ABout those clothes though - don't wait *too* long, some of us waited too long and then had shrunk out of the clothes before we actually fit back in them again.

                          Thank you all so much for your support - I'm still on cloud nine

                          Higgies, My PT is fantastic, she has total faith in me to make the right decisions for my body, and she can see the energy levels I have which are growing by the day - I think she was almost as pleased as me with the result!!!

                          Quitstretchin, if this has taught me anything it's that as long as you work all aspects of the WOL, it does pay off!!

                          Here's to the next 11 inches!
