110 down, 25 to go.
 

This is an old message. Some of you may already know, but this is my second attempt at losing weight. This time, I am keeping it off... I'll leave it here though so you can see how I did it the first time....

My name is Bruce, and I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I've lost 110 pounds since last February. As you can tell, Atkins has changed my life. I have 25 more to go, but I'm fairly happy so far....

Here's a picture of my progression

Hey Bruce...
 

Your results are unbelievable!! You look wonderful and happy. Your before and afters look like two totally different people. Congratulations to you - what an inspiration!!!

Robin :wave:

Holy Halifax!
 

Bruce,
Your achievement is way awesome.
Any interesting stories or tips you can share?
Thanks for the inspiration.

Bruce..... you look WONDERFUL!!! That before picture is really revealing, isn't it?.... sad look with crutch in hand. And then look at the "afters"!!!!! You are awesome, dude!!! You must have really worked hard! Congratulations, my friend, and thank you so much for posting your pictures! :D :thup:

Thanks very much everyone :)

I posted my personal method for the diet in my Journal. Doesn't seem to be linked to me yet.

I started this whole thing because I was tired of being alone. Valentines day last year was day 1. It took more will-power then anything, but I think the biggest hurdle was the weight loss itself. Once I learned how to lose weight, and how different if felt, it became easy.

You know what they say, it's a lifestyle change. Thats the way you have to do things. If you think about it, one or two pounds a week is a perfect loss. 8 pounds a month = 80 pounds every 10 months. Not bad if you ask me.

My brother actually felt that was too slow, and stopped the diet. He didn't look at the long term. Don't make the same mistake.

My new goal is abs by August ;)

LOL!
 

Awesome! You look great! Congratulations! I know how much better you feel...

Your pix just brightened my day!

As far as the rate of loss...aren't you glad you did it at a slow and steady rate? To fast = loose skin. Eeeewwww...

I'm down 105+ in a year. It's the greatest feeling...

Rock on!

Donald :wave:

congrats!
