Ive' been in a bit of a downer this past week. It has almost been 3 months since I started Atkins and well my mind was telling me that there was no improvement. DARN Mirror, still cant help but look at it. Well I decided to cheer myself up by going clothes shopping for the first time in a while. I still wore clothes I had since I started. Anyway I decided to go into the local Target store to see i I could at least fit a size 48 mens. Well to my surprize I didn't....I could fit a size 46 with a little bit of room. That ist down from my size 54 3 months ago. Needless to say I spent a lot on other items like several 2x shirts, I use to wear 4x uh!, now I just wat to get rid of all of my old clothes. Last I checked , before I threw out the scale I was down at 300lbs from a very large 380lbs. I still have a bit to go until my goal of 220 lbs or so but its things like these that give me a boost to keep me going and of course this board.

Oh my goodness Flame,what a difference in your before and after pic so far. Awesome! This is when the tape measure becomes your best friend rather than the scale. What a great feeling reaching for smaller sizes off the rack, good for you hon. It only gets better. Congradulations on your success so far.

Wow! Keep it up, it gets better & better

Congrats so far! I know how you feel. I have lost 63 pounds and at times I swear I can't see a major difference. I started out really big and I am short so now I just look really fat rather than really really fat. But you and I both know that this way of eating works and we will get there and it's not a race after all.

I do know how you feel! It is so wonderful to suddenly fit into a new size! and when you look in the mirror you suddenly see the change you didn't see yesterday! That's so cool! I'm going through that now... suddenly my old clothes are fitting me again! It is sooo great!
