One Week Down and Feeling Great!

[donjn]

In 2001 I was up to 290 pounds and lost 50 pounds on Atkins to get me to 240. At 6'6" I could hide weight. Since then I have ballooned to a robust 342 pounds!

Then last Sunday night I had it! I was going to make a change. Well this is day 8, and I have lost 7 pounds immediately and I am not gonna stop till I hit my goal!

I feel great and have more energy.

My son yesterday told me my breath smelled weird...I was like "thanks"...lol

Hi donjn
congrats on your weight loss so far!

[donjn]

Thanks. Its small but its not the weight I am happy about. Well just a little

Its the attitude and the mental victory that I feel good about. Yesterday there were chocolate chip cookies at work. I was not interested. Not because I had an urge. It was because the whole idea of all that flour and sugar actually turned me off...

And well done on ignoring those cookies too
