    I've been on and off Atkins for about 2 1/2 years... but have finally reached my goal, both in lbs and inches. Started out at 250 lbs on New Years of 2006, and am now 192 lbs and much much healthier. My diet is under control and I get quite a few miles in each week on my Trek 5000 bike to keep me in shape.

    It wasn't easy... but then, nothing worthwhile ever is. I just say to those who are new to this.... stick with it and you will love the results.

    This site was my first step in the success ladder. I still remember the first post that got me going on this journey.... Stop the self sabotage...by Cleochatra. It meant a lot to me then, and it still does. It's a good rule to live by. When you think you want something, think about the results... what will it do to you? And, why would you do that to yourself? Once you get that mindset, it's all positive from there.

    Just wanted to share my goal story, and hope that others will have the same success.

    Haha... Well, some may still call me "Thick", but in a different sense I think.

    Thanks for the congrats! As many have said... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."

    Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

    Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                Wow, thank you all for your kind replies to this thread, they are much appreciated.

                For anyone new here, I will say that this site is where I got my start, and found a good foundation of atkins information. It's all in the book, and is reinforced here by some great mods and admins. I left this site for quite a while, and struggled... was a bit embarrassed, came back here as a guest and did some more reading of success stories and studied up on it some more, and got back on board a few months ago and my real success story starts there. I hope your stories will reach this Forum in the coming months and years and that I'm still around to pat you on the back and send my congratulations as well. And, I hope I'm still a goalie!

                Again, thank you all. I hope I'm able to pass some information to those in need.

                Three rules to live by:

                1. Read the book, and follow its rules
                2. Exercise is non-negotiable
                3. Drink your water.

                    You make me proud!

                    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

                        Hi there Rick!

                        I am so excited for you! I can't imagine what that feels like. If you did like me than you probably fantasized about what it might be like to be an ideal weight. The way it would feel, what it would be like and how you might be treated differently, but to know that you're able to lived it and it no longer be a distant unattainable dream........ TOO AWESOME!

                        Just out of personal curiosity as it everything you thought it would be? Better? Congratulations on an amazing job and best of luck to you in all that you do!!! Good for you!

                          Honestly, it's been better. For one thing, I just feel better, and that's the main thing. But, it's nice that others notice it too and acknowledge the work. People that when I started this journey, so long ago, would see me out walking, or riding the bike, and would give encouragement... well, I think it makes them happy for me as well. I'm from a small town, so it's not like you can get outside and exercise and not have everyone know what you're doing... but yes, it feels great. The thing is, this journey is still young. I've let up before, and gained back, so I know now that I have to stick with this for the long haul to keep it working. I don't ever want to be "ThickRick" again.

                          And, thanks again for the congrats, much appreciated.
