    After six years on Atkins, GOAL!

    I've been on this board six years, although I mostly lurk. I can't tell you how much this board has meant to me. So many people to be inspired by, and so many questions answered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    This morning, I finally reached my goal weight. I weigh the same today as I did the day I got married and I'm down 91 pounds. I love Atkins and have made it a way of life. I will never go back to eating the way I used to.

    It took me so long because menopause and hypothyroism interrupted my progress, but in time, I got things straightened out and made a really big push this year.

    I'm also proud to say that my DH has lost about 110 pounds and looks abslutely fabulous! We really love eating the Atkins way.

    Here's an old pic. I know we both gained even more weight after this:

    Another old one:

    And here's one taken a couple of weeks ago. My DH's shirt didn't flatter him in the picture, but trust me, he looked great in it!

    Here's one taken of him about 10 pounds ago:

                      That is such a great story.
                      Thanks for announcing it. So glad it worked for you. And you are such a testimony to the fact that it is not about making goal in a few months. I think if we take the time we will get there.
                      Congratulations to both of you. You both look wonderful.
