Default One Year Today!

ONE YEAR TODAY!
On December 26 2014 I weighed 294 pounds-- I realized if i didnt make a change I would be over 300 pounds before my 50th birthday. I got serious and cut all sugar and breads and etc out of my diet and re-read my original Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution and Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution books. A few days later I started tracking everything I ate and got even more serious.

I have lost 110 pounds so far, I have less than 40 pounds to go till goal and I plan on being there by this summer. I will turn 50 next November. I stay pretty close to the old Atkins induction list of foods, Eat when hungry, and no cheating.

Congratulations! You're looking good. 110 pounds is how much weight I have lost, although not as quickly. It's a great feeling.

Now that is how you get your life back. Just do it and don't look back. The weight loss is great, but this journey is so much more than that. It is written all over your face. WTG young lady. Keep on smiling.
