    HI from BC (pics)

    Hi there,

    I'm Sarah, from British Columbia, Canada. I am new here. I have been on Atkins since August 10th and started at 250.5, I am 227.3 as of today... I dont feel I am losing as much as id like to see... but anything is better then nothing... My sister is my insparation, as she was 250 and is now 120. In one year! I was on atkins once before but it only lasted 4 days and i quit. This time around I am serious and will not give up.

    This is me, August 6th at my son's birthday party...I was 250.5 here.. I measured 48inches around my waist...


    I started Atkins on the tenth, here I am at work, August 17 ,






    and this is me on October 13th at 229.0 (please excuse the sweat suit LOL comfort first when rinding lol)


    I personally, dont see that much of a difference yet, but I am hopeing that soon I will start to look at myself and not hate what I see... LOL...I just feel like my weight is dropping off soooo much slower then anyone else who ive known on Atkins... But I do have to admit, It feels pretty good to be able to fit into clothes I thought about throwing away because "id never fit into them again..."

    Ill try to get some better recent pics in not so baggy clothes..

    anyway, i hope to make some friends on here who understand what I am going through.. I get a lot of negitive feedback from people who just dont get it! They cant understand that I just cant stand to be this way any more... I want to be able to ride my horses, without feeling Guilty for being so heavy... I want to be able to play softball again and ball hockey... I miss all the things I used to do... I miss being me..

    here is a picture of me before i got fat..


    I want to look like that again LOL...
    so Wish me luck!

    Thank you for reading my post..

            Hey Sarah, I also think you are doing great. I am giving the atkins a try too. I am starting with the Christmas Chalange. I see you are an animal lover too. I love dogs and horses. I would love to ride, but down here in the deep south, Laurel, MS there is not much of a chance to learn to ride. You hang in there, your weight loss is to be reconzed. Linda
            Hello Everyone, not sure where I have surfaced but at least I am somewhere. When I first joined I wasn't sure of what to put but now I hope I know a little more . I want to be in the Christmas Chanlenge and hope to meet my goal head on
            I want to lose 30lb total and have lost a few but I am strugling with the same 3 back and forth, going to hange it . I want to ware a size 12 and be able to go shopping and have more fun by finding things that do look good on me. Thanks to everyone who has helped me. Linda

              hi sarah. you are so pretty. we all understand your need to lose. this is a great place to be. you won't find anyone questioning your why or how. but you will find lots of support! don't fret about the length of time this takes. everyone loses at his or her own rate. just stick with it, exercise, read, and enjoy all the changes you will benefit from along the way. the weight loss is just one of them! we're here to help you along the way. oh, and, i can see a difference! soon enough, you will too. be sure to take your measurements. they are really a better indicator than the scale. good luck!

                      Hi Sarah. Welcome. Glad you've joined us. How wonderful that your sis is such an inspiration to you. I'm sure she'll give you lots of motivation and good suggestions to make this a life-style change. Your animals are fantastic...they'll be a great asset in helping you stay active and exercising.

                      Have you measured? Sometimes seeing how many inches you've shed is more motivating than seeing the pounds lost. We all lose at different speeds - so celebrate - each pound gone is a great accomplishment.

                      Stay active here (make friends) and share your progress with us. We all care and want to see you reach your goal.
                      Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



                      Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

                          Welcome!! Congrats on the progress thus far...you're doing great! Slow & steady is okay...the weight didn't appear over a short period of time.

                          Are you getting any exercise? I'm asking as I recently started walking on a regular basis & I've had a big lost in the last 2 weeks. I know it's because I've commited to doing the exercise!!

                          Check out some of the challenges. They are alot of fun & it is a great way to bond with other members! Plus you get cool awards!!!

                          Your pictures are wonderful. I absolutely love the dog! I notice a difference in your face & abdomen.

                          Keep up the great work...you are worth it! Have a great day!
