First off, I'd like to say that you are a very pretty woman. You are doing great, it's nice that you kept track of those inches, becuase I neglected that part of the initial process. I've gone through some weight-loss dry-spells, so it would have been nice if I had kept track too. Your already showing some definate signs in your face.

You are doing a wonderful. Stories like these are the ones that keep you motivated. GREAT JOB!!

You look fabulous! Almost time for new clothes, eh? Nothing like a cute outfit to reward yourself.

WTG!

I too found the inchloss was astounding!! At no point in my life on being on other diets have I experienced such a dramatic loss of inches! Way to go you - you look terrific!

You are doing GREAT! And look wonderful! You are an insperation for sure. I love reading successes when i just get that awful feeling of wanting something junky to eat. Good job keep up the great work

Way to go Born-4-u, what an inspiration you are. When I get discouraged I'll read your thread. Thanks.

Believe me, if I was around, I'd definately try. LOL! Seriously, I don't think your going to have a difficult time finding a guy.

I swear all the women on here are from another country, which isn't weird (considering the US isn't the world). I'm sure there are tons of Canadians guys that will come knocking though.

Great job ! ((and thanks for the nice comment in my picture gallery.. sometimes I look at myself and go " Is there even ANY change at all in how I look ??? Nice to get that positive feedback ))

Keep on truckin' .. you're doing fabulously and congrats on the new car !

Hi, browsing around and noticed your post about your having celiac and your wonderful progress. I also have celiac and started out at a similar weight and size. I am 30 yrs. old. I started doing atkins a week ago...I have lost 10 lbs. I know it will slow down from here but I am so excited to see you are wearing a size 16. I also started out at 236 lbs and size 20/22. Good for you. Next sat our celiac group is having a garage and bake sale with tons of gluten free goodies, that will be a test! I did Atkins a couple of years ago and did really well, lost 40 lbs. in a short period of time. Then I found out I had celiac disease and went totally off the atkins, felt really sorry for myself and ate all the gluten free candy/ dairy queen, etc. that I pretty much wanted. I am comfortable enough with the gluten free diet now that I think I can follow atkins way of eating forever. Good luck on your continued loss!

thanks jen :-) it's a hard road but worth it, i tell ya, i still have a long way to go, now i have my before weight from 15 months ago till now i'm down 75.5, most since december....i started Atkins again January 12th of this year...the celiac is hard no gluten, oats, flour, wheat, whey, barley or oats. i don't have glutenfree stuff or anything like that, especially now, i have a countdown to onederland lol,

good luck on your journey if you ever wanna talk, pm me...

edited for double post, d'oh!

WOW. You have the same starting and end-goal weight that I have, so I paid attention to your post. Your face is so defined now! Keep going! Give yourself permission to "cheat" like you did, just as long as you are in control of it (and not the other way around). You're doing great!!
