Woweee!! You both look fantastic!! Thanks for the inspiration!! I have lost 40 and need to lose about 90 more.

Thanks for posting your story. Just wanted to say you both look great, like totally different people! I just started on my low carb journey, and seeing a story like yours is truly inspiring!

Good for you...You both look great!!!

Wow! Congrats on your accomplishments!!!! You have really inspired me! Way to go!!!

amazing results well done

Wow! I'm impressed! Were you exercising as well as eating LC?
Such transformations! You both must be so proud of yourselves, and feel wonderful.......you sure look great!

Wow this is awesome..

Really enjoyed the pictures and your story. I first discovered Atkins waaaay back in the late 70's. I don't know that I was morbidly obese, but I hated myself as a teenager. As I turned 20, I committed myself to the plan. Like you the weight just fell off, and like you, I just felt better. Eating the right things was easy. And I maintained the loss for years and years....

Then came the whole Low Fat thing in the late 90's. My father had died of a heart attack at 49, so I was a bit freaked. I engaged and the lbs crept back on. Now amount of exercise or low-fat-eating could keep them away. I stayed "acceptably" heavier for a while, but after the ending of a relationship, I shut myself in and dove into all the wrong foods.

So here I am at it again. It's only been a short while and I already feel better and can feel my clothes getting looser. Your story has really motivated me. My goal is 50 lbs, which may be a bit much at my age, so I'll monitor as I get into the 30's and 40's.

My advice: treats are ok occasionally, but when you're done, you're DONE... Go back to eating the Atkins way. And beware of whatever foolish fad comes along down the road -- don't fall into the same trap I did!

Once again fantastic inspiring story! Cheers!

I just read your success story - and I must say I am moved. In 2000, my husband and I went on a similar low carb journey together, with great success. We kept off our weight for 4 years, then slowly, got away from low carb. Today, we are both back to our original weights... so depressing.

This week I decided enough is enough, and I am once again starting low carb, with a renewed commitment that it is for life. Reading your story gives me hope that I can do it, and reminds me of how wonderful it feels to reach each milestone.

Thanks. You look amazing!
