Cool What has been your biggest compliment since starting Atkins

Mine would have to be my husbands old work buddies. He hadn't seen them for some time. We met up with them to help them with a project. They had always known me as a pretty big girl. While there his buddies had asked him what happened to his wife. Did we separate. Who was this person with him. When he told them I was his wife and that I had lost 120 lbs they where amazed. They said to me WOW you look great. You are shrinking.

Till that point I hadn't realized just how much different I looked.

Cleo called me a "Hottie".

Me? A middle aged clergyman?

"Hottie" is what my dear wife calls a hot water bottle - she is from Cyprus and doesn't like the cold, so its not unknown for her to take off to bed with a "Hottie" wearing my long green army socks (the ones I wear with my boots)

But I did say "middle aged".

But then again, the Senior Medical Officer who said to me "Do Atkins, it works." saw me in the corridor the other day - 60+ pounds lighter - I don't think he said anything - just looked me up and down and grinned.

Having acquaintances or restaurant servers who have seen my card ask me if I can help them - it is the ultimate reward for me. I just ask them to "pay it forward" someday!

I've only been on for 24 days, so the results aren't really noticeable to anyone else yet. However, my hubby did say that now I have a 'glow' that I didn't have before.

The fact that everyone thinks I am a hotty now surprises me, as I cant really see it myself.

They are probably just being nice ;-)

Well, never mind Richt, neither of us can compete with this 19 year old on a UK forum who has lost 5 stone.

What a transformation.

I wish Atkins did for my wrinkles what it has done for my waistline!
