Pics don't lie-Atkins does work.

[Desihue]

Thanks so much for all of your comps on my pic journey.

The more weight I lose, the more I like to take pics and with fewer clothes on

I plan to update this thread often as I continue to shrink. You all are awesome and so is this board!

I promise, before I ever started posting, I came straight to this thread and just marveled at all the wonderful progress pics. I even looked at the closed threads.
Get your inspiration from where you can,
believe in YOURSELF,
and just know that
anything is possible with weight loss.

Be well everyone!

I started Atkins this day.
I was miserable and I cried
after I saw this pic.





6/07
coming down after 2 months on Atkins



Even my wedding dress fits better! This is 2 years and a baby later!

I was in a photo shoot September of 2007 with some of my friends in our wedding dresses.

Don't ask…we're just nutty like that.

I had my dress taken in 7 inches and it was still too big! Can you see how it's all baggy in the waist and tummy?





This was on my wedding day
7/05
My dress was so tight and I had on two girdles







Me and the hubby 10/07
I felt so sexy that night!
My hubby was so proud to show me off.

Great job!!!! I can't wait until I am smiling like that in after pictures!!!! I LOVE the back of that black top, it is sooo hot! Plus, (because I'm a chick, I can say this) - your but looks really hot in that white dress. I am so frustrated that I've gained so much weight, I'm back to having a secretaries a$$. Can't wait until I'm lookin hot like you again! great job!!! You need to change your before/after pic that says flab to fab, because you're much smaller now.
