Smile HI from BC (pics)

Hi there,

I'm Sarah, from British Columbia, Canada. I am new here. I have been on Atkins since August 10th and started at 250.5, I am 227.3 as of today... I dont feel I am losing as much as id like to see... but anything is better then nothing... My sister is my insparation, as she was 250 and is now 120. In one year! I was on atkins once before but it only lasted 4 days and i quit. This time around I am serious and will not give up.

This is me, August 6th at my son's birthday party...I was 250.5 here.. I measured 48inches around my waist...


I started Atkins on the tenth, here I am at work, August 17 ,






and this is me on October 13th at 229.0 (please excuse the sweat suit LOL comfort first when rinding lol)


I personally, dont see that much of a difference yet, but I am hopeing that soon I will start to look at myself and not hate what I see... LOL...I just feel like my weight is dropping off soooo much slower then anyone else who ive known on Atkins... But I do have to admit, It feels pretty good to be able to fit into clothes I thought about throwing away because "id never fit into them again..."

Ill try to get some better recent pics in not so baggy clothes..

anyway, i hope to make some friends on here who understand what I am going through.. I get a lot of negitive feedback from people who just dont get it! They cant understand that I just cant stand to be this way any more... I want to be able to ride my horses, without feeling Guilty for being so heavy... I want to be able to play softball again and ball hockey... I miss all the things I used to do... I miss being me..

here is a picture of me before i got fat..


I want to look like that again LOL...
so Wish me luck!

Thank you for reading my post..

Hey Sarah, I also think you are doing great. I am giving the atkins a try too. I am starting with the Christmas Chalange. I see you are an animal lover too. I love dogs and horses. I would love to ride, but down here in the deep south, Laurel, MS there is not much of a chance to learn to ride. You hang in there, your weight loss is to be reconzed. Linda

hi sarah. you are so pretty. we all understand your need to lose. this is a great place to be. you won't find anyone questioning your why or how. but you will find lots of support! don't fret about the length of time this takes. everyone loses at his or her own rate. just stick with it, exercise, read, and enjoy all the changes you will benefit from along the way. the weight loss is just one of them! we're here to help you along the way. oh, and, i can see a difference! soon enough, you will too. be sure to take your measurements. they are really a better indicator than the scale. good luck!

Hi Sarah! Welcome. I love that you posted so many pics of your critters! It's fantastic that you have your sister for inspiration. Your loss so far is great! Slow and steady is the best way to lose the weight and keep it off, so it seems you're doing perfectly. Post often so we can see you results!
