My Before and After.........Shocking

[JessTheBest]

Hi guys,

I am new here. I have been doing atkins diet for a while now. I decided to join this board to help others. Plus I never thought I'd hear myself saying this EVER but I need some advice on how to stop loosing weight (although I will post that on another board). Anyway I used to look at these boards before and after for inspiration so I thought I would post mine. I have never weighed myself but you can see a difference from the photographs.

You look absolutely gorgeous!!

You're just a young woman, and with your loss you even look younger!!
A big congrats to you!

Wow! What great progress! And, to think you did it all without being a slave to the scale. So many people get frustrated if the evil scale doesn't go down, even if their pants fall down around their knees. It defies reason that you hold a number on a machine (which no one sees) more dear than how you look in your clothes.

Congratulations! You look great!

WOW, WOW and WOW.....JUST LOOK AT YOU GIRL!!!!!! You look absolutely amazing...congratulations to you...I'm very proud of you

You look absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures with us and exciting news....congratulations!

I look forward to getting to know you better and hearing about how your maintenance is going. I read that you are planning to start a new thread regarding how to stay at the weight you're presently at and stop losing is that correct? Good for you...I look forward to reading that thread. Be sure to explain where you're at presently on the rungs...that sort of thing so we know where you are in the process.

Again, congratulations to you....you should be very proud of what you've achieved!

Talk with you soon!
