    20 lbs down !

    When I delivered my daughter I weighed in at my heaviest weight ever at 191 and I was very unhappy! I started my Atkins journey October 22, 08 at 187 lbs and lost 13lbs by Dec 19th. I took Christmas off and got back on the wagon Jan 1st. I have lost 7 lbs since then and am now 167.

    I had a baby last March and she will be 1 on March 12th and I am already below my weight that I went in for my first check up at 171. I am very happy to get this baby weight off and am now working on getting the rest of this weight off. I WILL BE 135 once again!

    Next goal is 159. I will then be under the 160's. In the past getting under 160 has been my hardest challenge. I am looking forward to spring and summer when I can get out doors and exercise more.

        Great job, Michelle! Keep it up!

        I am having the exact same problem right now. I just can't seem to get below 161 and I don't know why. It must be a mental block because I've had this problem before. Here's hoping we both are soon past this weight and on our way down to where we want to be.

        Again, congrats!!!

            Thanks. As to what phase, I am not sure.. I guess I have been doing my own thing for a few weeks. Trying to stay under 30 carbs. But I had gotten up to berries rung at one point.

              20 pounds feels good!!! It feels even better when you realize how heavy 20 pounds REALLY is. 2 1/2 gallons of milk...a bag of cat litter...1 1/4 bowling balls...

              anyone else?

                I know what you mean. In my younger days I was 150 and lost down to 125 and I tried carrying a 25 lb weight from a bench press set and boy did I realize how heavy that 25 lbs was. I would be happy at this point to be 150!
