Lover's Pictures

[Lover]

These are my during pictures. They make me sad.

5'2" @ approximately 209/208. ( Will make sure weight is accurate when I get home from the gym. )



Ugh. I absolutely hate the one of my back. What happened?!

Don't be sad! You have a noticeable waist and a good figure which is gonna be terrific very soon.
You won't regret posting these when you're a little way down the line and have them for comparison.

Best wishes for your Atkins journey!

[Lover]

Aw, thank you! I feel quite a bit better, now!

And, yes, I think that it'll be very exciting to post lower weight pictures right next to these, eventually!

[Desihue]

TRUST ME when I say that I know just how you feel and I’m a living witness to you that Atkins does make it all better if you follow the plan. I cried for months after I took my before pictures and now I think, had I known how well I was going to do I could have saved myself the tears
Let these pictures motivate you to do better and STAY better.
I wish you all the best!

[Lover]

Thank you! I really appreciate all of the support.

Getting ready to go to the gym as I type this!

Don't be sad Lover. I am exactly where you are...our height and weight are very similiar. You can do this. I am on my second run and plan to keep the weight off this time.

I'm with Dez, use these pictures as motivation. Do you have a journal in journal chats? My journal helps to keep me motivated and accountable. I track my progress, goals and success there. Keep up the good work and turn that sadness into motivation and get to your goal! Take care, I look forward to reading about your progress and success.

[Lover]

Hey, it's always good to hear from people in the same situation! Or, in this case, weight/height/etc.!

A journal is actually an excellent idea; I could start keeping track of how long I walk/how fast/how much weight I'm lifting, etc.! Cool! Thanks!

[Lover]

Once again, thank you!

You look amazing, BTW! I think I checked out your pictures, recently!
