Talking One-derland and over half way to goal!

I started atkins in march at 235 lbs, I fell off the wagon, and never really rededicated myself until July.

I restarted seriously on July 1st at 228lbs. I've been riding my bike as much as possible (375 miles since July 1st) and have only had one minor accidental cheat. Anyways, on to the good part. I weighed myself this morning....... 196 lbs!!!

First time I've been under 200lbs in 5 years.

I've lost 32lbs in the last 1 month 7 days (almost 40lbs overall). Not bad I'd say.

Thank you for the support and helping to keep me in line.

Indeed it does.

Never thought I'd be happy to be "overweight."

In less than 40 days, you lost over half of the weight you needed to lose. That's impressive!

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
