    I'm down 18.5 lbs!

    Wow I started this WOL at 250 with out energy. I am now 231.5 with energy.

    I am a slow loser but hey, I'm losing! If I can lose another 18.5 lbs in another 2 and 1/2 months I will be pleased.

      Hi Lisa! I have to tell myself that. It's hard not getting discouraged when you see 30 lbs fall off of someone in a month. Slow and steady wins the race, slow and steady wins the race, slow and steady wins the race................ I can do this!

            iamran, congratulations on your loss!

            I'm a slow loser, too, and yes... it used to be depressing to read of others losing 30 - 50 pounds in the time I've lost 15.

            But my approach has changed now. I would have GAINED weight without Atkins, and now those 15 pounds are gone forever. And I feel so GOOD!

            So yay for us turtles!

                    it took me 2 years to lose 24lbs when i wasn't doing atkins. lol it puts things in perspective when i feel like i'm going slow!

                      Thanks, girls! Even though I lose slow the way I feel is worth everything.

                      I am stepping on the scale this weekend. Hopefullly I will be in the 220s. If not that is ok. I know that eventually it will happen. I have no doubt about it.
