Greetings, Fellow Atkineers :oha:

I am very pleased to announce the winners of the 6th SemiAnnual Boardwide Veggie Challenge. For five days, these members carefully tracked their net veggie carbs and reported their totals daily. They had a required minimum goal to meet each day, and were also asked to either try a new veggie, or think of a new way to have a tried and true favorite. We had great discussion, and traded recipes. I love this challenge! :yes:

The winners are:

Sometimes when I think of 240 pounds I realize that I am very much overweight and have a long way to go. Then when I think of the difference in saying that I'm 21 pounds lighter compared to 21 pounds heavier, I realize that I have come a long way already.:clapping:

I can't thank everyone on the ADBB enough. Your tips, support and sharing help to make this process a successful one.

I can't tell you how much this board has meant to me. So many people to be inspired by, and so many questions answered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This morning, I finally reached my goal weight. I weigh the same today as I did the day I got married and I'm down 91 pounds. I love Atkins and have made it a way of life. I will never go back to eating the way I used to.

It took me so long because menopause and hypothyroism interrupted my progress, but in time, I got things straightened out and made a really big push this year.

I'm also proud to say that my DH has lost about 110 pounds and looks abslutely fabulous! We really love eating the Atkins way.

Here's an old pic. I know we both gained even more weight after this:

Another old one:

And here's one taken a couple of weeks ago. My DH's shirt didn't flatter him in the picture, but trust me, he looked great in it!

Here's one taken of him about 10 pounds ago:

Today marks the 11 weeks since I started Atkins for the third time and I am half way to my goal of 80 lbs lost. The first 20 came off in three weeks. It has taken 8 weeks to get the second 20. What I have learned is I was lucky to be losing even at the rate I was for the past 8 weeks. I was still able to lose at least 2 pounds a week even though I was not exactly textbook Atkins.

I should have known better as this was my third time. The last time was in 2007 when I lost 50 pounds. You'd think I would learn my lesson and keep it off but here I am again. This time starting at an all-time high.

Somewhere along the line I forgot the importance of fat in the diet. I was eating low fat and even taking Alli for 7 of the last 8 weeks. I discovered this board about a week ago and have since corrected my ways. The three major violations I committed where at follows:

1. Not enough fat.
2. Too many diet sodas, low carb ice cream and Atkins Endulge bars.
3. Not enough water.

I corrected these problems and have dropped 4 pounds in five days. I only wish I had found this board sooner. I have ordered the Atkins book and will pursue the second half of my goal much better educated.

I realize the next 40 pounds will likely drop much slower than the first 40. I have issued myself the challenge to be at goal weight by April 1, 2010. I am strongly resolved to learn from my past blunders and keep it off this time. Wish me luck. ]]> The Celebration Forum ! kxb44 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/celebration-forum/82640-40-down-40-go-things-ive-learned.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/celebration-forum/82486-forty-pounds.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:22:24 GMT not in a million years did i think i could do this, and whaddaya know--it happened! what's a little scary is how easy it's been. yes, definitely some ups and downs, but no rollercoasters, no deprivation, etc. i actually believe i'm going to make it to my goal! believing might be the bigger accomplishment...:) ]]> The Celebration Forum ! attagirl_ http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/celebration-forum/82486-forty-pounds.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/celebration-forum/82472-mini-goal-50-lbs-lost-met-today.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:00:49 GMT Since starting Atkins on May 11th 2009 I have lost 50 lbs, and am still going strong!!!!

Today i have finally pushed the 100 pound mark in my weight loss. I started off at 305.7 and today weighed in at 205.6.


Ive been the big kid my whole life. All through kindergarten to junior year of highschool. One day in gym we were weighing in and my teacher told me i weight 300 pounds. This is the day i realized my health is in huge risk and that i need to make a change. I dad had some moderate success with atkins before, but falling off in the long run. He lost about 40 pounds. I started atkins mid May of this year. I've had to deal with my brothers passing of cancer when he was only 17, this happend around 3 years ago. This really showed me how i need to chairish my life and not waste it feeling sorry for myself.

Atkins can change your life, you just have to stick with it. Ive learned some much since day 1. I used to be eating those " No carb " icecream bars and thought everything was all right, but i kept researching and learning more about nutrition. I find all these things i've learned through atkins is really helping me in my school's foods class. Anyways. here are some pictures before and after of my weight loss. i hope my story will give some of you the boost you need to keep going, because nothing feels better than being healthy, no cookie, donut or soda gives me the feeling of being in great shape and doing things i haven't done in my entire life.
