Default Going down fast, but I'm miles above you

Hi..
I started doing Atkins after Easter last year. I weighed in then at 108 kg. Now I weigh 74. In a year i've lost 34 kg. (That would translate to around 70 - 75 pounds, give or take..)

This has really changed my life. I cannot begin to describe how different I feel! If I had been a religious person, I would have called for Dr Atkins to be canonised... I am truly a different person!

I was terribly thin in my youth, but put on weight after a couple of diets (low-fat, low-calorie...) And that ruined my metabolism, I would say. But now I'm back to myself again. Still have about 12 - 14 pounds to lose, but, what the heck, I can do that with no sweat! And I am in no hurry. This can take as long as it takes. If it takes a year or two - well, that's just fine with me. I feel good, and I look good the way I am now.

To be able to once again walk into a shop and buy something that is NOT on the "big is beautiful"-department... Well, I cannot begin to tell you how extraordinarily wonderful that is!!
