    The Results Are In...for Now!

    hi everyone! i just posted in my journal that i really felt like i needed to post my results (so far) as my goal in terms of TIME is here. originally i planned to do atkins to drop a few pounds for my wedding this weekend. as it turns out, i did a whole lot more than lose weight. i fell in love again with exercise. i learned to listen to my body and feed it in a healthy way. i have so much more energy and stamina than i did before.

    this is not "the end"...in fact, it is the beginning of this new lifestyle for me. i will never go back to feeling that awful again. it is just not worth it. i am prepared to set NEW goals for myself....maybe weight goals,maybe exercise challenges, maybe personal milestone...who knows yet.

    i am VERY camera shy so i do not like this AT ALL...however, i really did feel like posting a photo and my stats was part of the accountability i set in place for myself...i just needed to do it to say "i got here."

    this board is amazing! YOU are the greatest motivation. i hope that some day in some small way i can inspire and encourage someone to take that trip down the road to good health....BELIEVE!

    so 'nuff waxing poetic about all that. here are my results (so far!)

    highest weight EVER 220 pounds (HOLY SMOKES!)
    christmas 2006 193 pounds UGH

                    HOLY SMOKES is right.... you look amazing, B. How can you be camera shy looking like that?? Have you seen yourself lately?? You smile proudly in those wedding and honeymoon photos, girl -- you are georgous!

                    I love what you said about coming here to lose a few pounds, but having gained so much more. Watching your transformation has been inspiring, and you are such a wonderful encouraging voice in this community. Thank YOU for all you've given.

                    Enjoy a wonderful beginning to your new life.
