6 months Report: 65+ lbs lost!

[Tomhinnva]

Yesterday marked exactly 6 months on Atkins for me. Here are the results:

1. 65 Lbs lost! I was 320 as of last week. I started at or above 385 lbs, so the loss may be even greater. I am not too worried about the exact # of lbs. Lord knows I don't want to see them again anyway

2. I am now exercising! I ponied up the bucks and joined one of those nice gyms (LA Fitness) where everyone is welcome. What a difference! My energy is off the chart now! My waist is shrinking even faster than before. What is most amazing is that on a low-carb diet I have so much more energy for working out and a positive mindset towards going there. I LIKE going to the gym, and I am loving the results. In another month or two my doc will probably take me off my blood pressure medicine entirely.

3. Any relationship problems that were connected to my physical condition are GONE!!!!!!!! The normal ups and downs of any relationship remain of course. But, the embarassing physical problems that were crippling my relationship 6 months ago have been resolved completely. It's like being in my 20's again ( I am 38 now)

4. Biggest problem today: I so totally need new and smaller clothes! I have a much better class of problems today than I did 6 months ago!

Just wanted to chime in and give my two cents and basically reaffirm for myself and everyone else the fact that ATKINS WORKS IF YOU WORK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for letting me happily babble and I hope you all are doing just as well or even better. Few people were ever more discouraged, hopeless and cycnical as I was 6 months ago. Doc Atkins has made a believer of me, and I know he is looking down on us all today and smiling.

Peace!
