    25lbs down and only 8lbs more to goal!

    Just wanted to share my good news with you guys. As of this morning I weigh 173lbs and am only 8 lbs from my goal weight!!! During the last 5 1/2 months on Atkins, I have lost 25lbs and dropped from a tight size 16 pants to a very loose size 12 and some size 10 pants fit very well, too!!! My blood pressure has dropped to a normal range and my mental attitude and self esteem are so improved.

    It is so exciting to read about your losses and your posts give me such inspiration! Thank you ADBB!

      Thank you for the support, Emma!

      I found my ACE, 45 carbs a day, but am still on rung 8. I will move to premaintenance when I complete rung 9 which should be in about 3 weeks and HOPEFULLY 5lbs from goal.

                Thank you so much for celebrating with me!! If you told me 6 months ago I would be feeling this good I would have laughed!

                It will be so great NOT to start the New Year with a resolution to lose weight!!

                    Way to go, Kelly! All that exercise pays off, doesn't it.

                    I'm so glad you're so close--look forward to seeing a goalie ribbon by your name!

                      Hey, Chris. Yep, up the road a piece--old NYC expression, lol. It snowed in the City last night and this am and we just got back from Central Park walking with our dog. It is a wonderand of beauty with the snow!! Did it snow in Jersey, too?

                      Thank you, Caryl, for your support! The exercise has been so key, agree with you! I am even beginning to enjoy it?! How about you?

                        I enjoy the exercise most days, in fact I feel kinda antsy if I don't get it in. It's good to feel firmer muscles!

                        It sounds beautiful with the snow. It was close to 70 yesterday here, but the wind's pretty bad. We had snow right after Thanksgiving and it was nice to see.
