FINALLY! A milestone met...

Hi all,

For the first time in 12 years, I am under 300 lbs. I'm under my wedding-day weight of 305. AND it's that TOM.

Thanks to Atkinsgal, Liv and the others who've coached me to add more veggies (how did I miss "NET" carbs??!?) that got me off my stall.

I love this WOE. My Type II diabetes disappeared after only a week, and I'm totally off all meds.

A long way to go yet, but I feel very encouraged.
