My sixth month anniversary
 

Today, April 2, 2003 marks my sixth month anniversary on Atkins. It wasn't a particularly rocky road and I don't have much of a story to tell. I started this diet because I was feeling uncomfortable at my 160lbs and didn't know what else to do. Amazed at the benefits and seduced by this forum (:D) I continued almost effortlessly and have felt very strong in this commitment.

I started exercising the beginning of February and have lost several inches since then. I'm not at my goal yet, still plan to gain muscle and trim down a bit more, but I have six-month progress pictures that I'd love to post. I'm so happy with this lifestyle and hope to never have to worry about weight again. :)

Stats-
Before:
Weight-160lbs
Bust- 38
Waist- 33
Hips- 42

After:
Weight- 139lbs
Bust- 35
Waist- 26.5
Hips- 36

Take a peek at my pic! :)

Before and after pic attached.

Angela,

You look FANTASTIC!!!! Congratulations! You are such an inspiration. Actually, everyone on this board is an inspiration. Thank you, everyone, for giving me the strength I need to get through this. You are all amazing.

Jackie,

Have you tried Atkins' Indulge bars? They are chocolate covered caramel and nougat sweets that are really terrific. Only 2 net carb grams per serving. They need to be eaten in moderation, however, because to much of them can have a laxative effect. A great treat without this problem is sugar free gelatin with a dab of whipped cream (you can add a no-carb sweetener to it). Good luck with everything!

Way to go!
