As was previously posted, it's not always easy to find "before" pics as who wants your picture taken when you are at your top weight?

Hiya Deb! You look terrific! I don't know where you are going to take another 95 pounds off of! I wish I had looked as great as you do at your current weight.
My update: I'm at 184.6 which means a loss of approx 115. I have been BAD. I have not stuck to plan, had a weekly brownie and chocolate chip cookie. I hit the Chinese buffet and ate every breaded thing on it dipped in sweet and sour sauce! I ate an insanely sweet and huge Boston Cream Donut (I did throw 1/2 of it away cause it was literally sickeningly sweet). I ate 1/2 a bag of tortilla chips with mango/cilantro salsa. Oh yeah and I barely rode my bike maybe 10 miles a week.
This is in the past 3 weeks. I really think this binge is my bodies reaction to having been on strict induction for 2 weeks and dropping 5 pounds in that period. But I did maintain that 5 pound loss for those 3 weeks! I was very much surprised when I stepped on the scale today and I was down about a pound and I'm carrying water today, I can see it in my feet.
I'm thinking of maybe switching plans, I think I might do well on a plan that allows small amounts of whole grains, etc. As my weakness has always been salty snacks, I think as long as I keep the Cheetos and Chex Mix out of the house, I will be ok. I'm going to open a thread to get input on switching plans.
(Sorry this is a bit off topic, but it was kinda a stream of consciousness thing)

Hello, my name is Gloria, I am new to this site,no I have not lost 100lbs, I have gained more than 170, in 1998 I lost 70 pounds on atkins, since then I have gained 70 pounds +100 and cannot believe what I have done to myself. In September 2002 I had a severe ankle injury, the ankle healed beautifully but I developed a condition called RSD which affects the nerves in my foot causing disability so I could no longer work. I have always worked in the medical field when this happened I was 53 years old and never thought I would be retired at age, so this was when I really put on weight. I am also diabetic, when I had lost 70 pounds I went off insulin, I know I can do this with the help of this formum and your support! I am also new to the computer world, so I guess I will learn as I go along, I figured if my grandchildren can do it I can do it! Gloria
Way to go!!
