50lbs Gone.. WOOHOO!!!

[sassy1]

I woke up today feeling that skinnier feeling lol.. so I decided to weight myself, which I had just done on Monday and only normally do once a week. Well it was hovering at 174 - 175!! So I'll take the 175.. that makes my weight loss to date.. 50lbs!! I also took my measurements, which I wasn't going to do till June 4th as that would be a month to the date that I have been back on Atkins. Well.. in 23 days I have lost 10lbs and 9in.. for a grand total of 50lbs and 48.5inches! ~does the happy dance~

I have to figure out why I can't see my own profile or my album. I want to update my album, but will need to figure out why I'm having this issue. I did take new pictures today.. as I also got into my size 11 jeans today!! WOOHOO.. I'm so happy, because I had gotten into them on Jan.1st, but I could only get the button done up.. well since going back to the plan and not cheating.. I can do up button and zipper!!

With any luck, I'll be able to get my pictures on here soon.

Go SASSY1 50lbs! Oh my gosh!!!! Doesn't it feel great to get into something smaller?! It happend to me this week too, although mine is from loosing a few inches from ketosis! This Atkins Diet is just wonderful! I will be watching you, our goals are close to the same starting now.

momtomany - How are you doing? Thank you for the encouragement. 50 pounds lost is a huge milestone on my journey, and it just dawned on me lastnight, that I am now over half way to my goal! I've also been wearing size 14 jeans, so the 11's fitting yesterday were a bit of a shock! As I have not worn size 11 jeans since 1993. It's a very exciting feeling and yes as you put it.. it rocks! lol

blondegypsy - It sure does feel great getting into smaller clothes! Congrats on losing weight and inches yourself.. I have lost 12.5 in. in my waist, 11 inches in my hips and 8.5 in my chest so far.. that's not including the other parts, but those are where my biggest loss's have been so far. My dh pretends to cry at my chest getting getting smaller LOL.. it's not like they're tiny by any means! haha I wish you great success on your journey, and I hope we both can meet our goals!

Re: 50lbs Gone.. WOOHOO!!!

congrats sassy!!! I'm 4-5 pounds away from hitting my 50 pound mark too. i normally dont get emotional about such things, but i really think i might break down and cry when i see a ONE instead of a TWO, and knowing thats going to happen this month is just insane. I havent been one anything in like 5 years! Keep up all the good work!

Lisa , kibstix, imagood1, Fabulous, sham, and Sarina . . .

Thank you all for your very kind words and for all the encouragement!!

kibstix - Congrats on your weight loss!! You have every reason to feel the way you are about hitting both the 50lb loss mark and to be in Onederland! It's very exciting! Keep up the awesome job your doing.

Sarina - Thank you again for all your support and encouragement, and you my friend are an example for us all to look up too! Anyone that can lose over 200lbs, is definitely an example that Atkins can and does work!

blondegypsy - Just letting you know that I'm having a problem viewing my own page, and can't see anything that anyone posts on my visitors page. The only reason I know you did, was because I had to create a bogus account to be able to view it. I have no clue what's going on or why I can't see my own profile stuff, but again I thank you and look forward to us both reaching our goals!

I hope you all had a super weekend and that the following week brings you all great things!

Re: 50lbs Gone.. WOOHOO!!!

Congratulations, what an accomplishment. Reading the replies is also such a boost, you all are doing such a great job!

[sassy1]

Re: 50lbs Gone.. WOOHOO!!!

Thank you Avery for your reply. Yes, reading other's replies is a huge part of this board! I believe it helps us to not only feel like we're not doing this alone, but also that people out there actually care how we're doing, and also can hold us to being accountable when needed. If I was writing on here and no one every replied.. I think it would be a sad thing and would make a person feel bad, thus leading to poor results. I'm very thankful for all the terrific people on here, and for all the replies!! I hope you had a great weekend, and that the week ahead brings you good things.
