[JanetC 2]

WE DID IT!!!!!

We started Atkins & exercise this week. Basically we decided that we needed to make a change & that it needed to be drastic. The small little changes were too easily ignored & our old habits are strong. So we did all Atkins since our 1-year check-up. And yesterday we had an appointment with the physical therapist and WE BROKE OUR PLATEAUS!!!!! 6 months without breaking 250 for me & 470 for Mikey & now we both did it! Woohooooo!!!

Wow that's great news Janet, Atkins will do it everytime. That's the diet my Dr. have me on. I just need to stay faithful.

The before picture is blurry but ya get the idea. Finally got a before pic!

[Northernsun 4]

wow! who did you hire to be in the before picture?! You look great!

I did Atkins for about 4 yrs and lost 60 lbs before things went bad on me and I started gaining it all back. I still do a modified atkins - more fruit and a bit less meat and occasionally rice or Pasta but not often cuz I do have trouble with both. Still can't bring myself to eat a piece of bread!

Hey everyone! Just saw this thread and thought I'd give an update! My 1 yr anniversary was on Feb 11...

• Weight loss so far :85 lbs
  
• Inches lost so far : about 35
  
• Are you at goal? How much further? I have 15 lbs to goal. After that, we;ll see...maybe I'll try for 10 lbs more.
  
• Would you do it again? ABSOUTELY!!!
  
• High point / low point : Low point was discovering I had a port leak. High point (aside from losing 85 lbs!!!) was discovering that my port leak mysteriously fixed itself! I got restriction back AND I didn't have to pay for more surgery!!!
  
• Before & after pics ..I'll come back with those. I don't have a good pic of me yet after 1 year.
