What a wonderful story! You have done an amazing job. I'm glad to hear that you're not letting any of these people's comments get to you. They are probably just jealous that you're losing the weight and they aren't! You wait until the day THEY try Atkins

I just wanted to say you are doing an amazing job. Do take the time to acknowledge those achievements that you are having such as the seat belt clicking. It is a long road ahead of us and sometimes we feel it may take forever, so those little things just keep us amazed. (I had a similar experience, DH drove the car over the weekend and lowered the steering wheel, normally I would not even be able to get into the car, let alone have the steering wheel that low, guess what, I forgot about it and then realized... OMG! I'm getting smaller and can now fit... it has been 3 days and I'm still on cloud nine about it)... Just keep thinking of all the things we will be able to do and enjoy.

Another thing, the short winded and other things will disappear and you just never know when. My mom (who has 1000 reason she needs to do ATKINS and is not doing so) asked me when I had lost about 60 pounds if my back has quit hurting or if this or that doesn't bother me anymore. I told her No I still have my back pain, ect, but I feel I should continue, what else to do... I was happy to report to her when I lost 70pounds exactly, I realized I have no more back pain!!!! So see even just a 10 pound difference can make all the difference in the world sometimes.

Sorry for rambling... just wanted to wish you well and much success!

Seriously... Congrats!

Its not a kooky diet.. its a lifestyle change that is much better than some of the "other" diets...

Congrats on your loss!

Thank you Goin.. I couldnt have said it better myself...its such a long long road for me...I am looking forward to going to Vegas in the winter and being able to walk around a little bit without finding a chair after I just entered a Casino.. can you believe I am admiting that???

Also to DC...your right and thank you.. because whenever I have lost weight I always went back to the same crappy way of eating.. and at least I know now that you cant..this is a WOL that will help me maintain..I wish I would have learned the lesson earlier in life!!!!!
