    Not too shabby!

    ok, so i haven't lost as much as other peple here. my friend, who is an atkins pro from way back, explained this is because of 2 things. 1 - i don't have that much to lose to get me to the normal BMI range and 2 - i'm a girl. Guys seem to lose weight like it's their job, comparitively speaking.

    but, never the less, i'm down 17 pounds and 2 sizes! yay! i'm pretty proud of it! i actually spent my lunch break today buying new pants. i'm getting tired of folding the tops of my pants over to keep them up and belts cinch them too much.

    Good for you on the weight/size lost. I really do think it's better to see how your clothes look than see how the scales look! It has taken me a long time to think like that and I do still weigh myself every day! x

        your guy friend is right on those 2 reasons. a third is just the fact that we are all different and we lose at different places in our bodies at different speeds. the good news is just as you said.... YOU LOST some of the weight you wanted to lose and KUDOS TO YOU!
