Ive been off line for a while...

[Jack G.]

But Im still maintaining the diet. I weighed in at 184.5 five weeks ago.

Today I weigh 161.5

My goal weight was supposed to be 170, then I decided to drop down to 165.

I've now decided to drop to 160.

This diet has worked out great. It was a little tough in the begining but once I got past "the week legs part" it began to get easier.

I still haven't had pizza but I can smell it around the corner!

Way to go Jack! Congrats to you... I hope the rest of your journey is a great success.

smell the pizza and enjoy that as an experience. JUST don't eat it... its not worth it. Congrats on your success... I hope to be in your shoes exactly at some point...

Last night was my wedding anniversary so of course we went out and had a nice meal. I ate more last night than I think I have in the 5 weeks Ive been dieting. I even had two pieces of bread!

While lying in bed and feeling guilty about eating bread and butter I couldn't stop wondering what my weight would be in the morning.

Luck was on my side... I weighed in at an even 161.0. A half lb. lighter than the day before. Thank goodness.

I have 1 lb. to go and I will have reached my goal.

I'll stay away from carbs thereafter and maybe cheat a little bit one day a week.

Thanks for the positive comments! If it were'nt for Atkins I could have never shedded weight.
