16 months on Atkins - pictures and advice!
Today it is 16 months since I've started Atkins WOE and I'd like to give you my best advice.
I have seen that many people take and post progress pictures. I LOVE to see those! My advice is - take pictures. You will be amazed how little weight you need to lose to see a great difference in your appearance. Example..... The first picture was taken in September 2003, the second just some weeks ago. The difference in weight is about 6 lbs only which isn't much for me - I'm tall and strongly built. The difference in sizes on the other hand - the black top is now XS instead of L and jeans are three sizes smaller! Now - losing 'only' 6 lbs between September 2003 and today could be considered slow and could, sadly, be a cause of frustration. Not so! The pictures and the clothes show the real difference. Right, Mel? ;) So don't let the scales ruin your progress - use other measures as well and enjoy this WOE, you bet I do! ;) Alina |
WTG Alina - Lookin' GOOD!!!

CONGRATS!!!
Isn't it great how wonderful we feel on the diet. We are definitely eating more healthier. :) |
Thats amazing!!! You look great in both pics but wow -- 6 lbs made a HUGE difference!!!!!!
|
What a hot looking babe. Yup, look at the pictures folks, our mental ability of looking in a mirror doesn't tell the truth, and the scale can be nasty as well. Pictures and clothing sizes :)

Thx
You look great. Thanks for posting this today, I really needed it. I have been watching my scale and it is driving me crazy. I think my clothes are a better indicator for me as well!!
|
You look great and thanks for reminding us that the scale doesn't always tell the whole story. Like you I am losing weight very slowly but the inches are still melting.

Thanks Alina!!! You look hott!!!! Congrats on your weightloss!!! You can really see the difference!! :yay:
|
You are right! I look in the mirror and can't tell I lost a pound. But I take pictures and go, Oh wow I have lost weight. I take pictures monthly. I'm up for a new one soon.
Great work girl, you look Great! :) |
Alina,
Way to go, girl! :) You look grrreat! I agree with the scale bit. Since I started to stay away from the scale, I feel so much better. Congrats, Serre |
that is so cool...I also don't lose fast but I am so short 1 pound looks like 5 LOL
you look great!! |
I noticed that alot of long time losers :) have recommended staying away from the scale. I think that is great advice, since I have noticed I have crept up a few pounds, and it's killing me!!

WOW! I logged on this morning because I was going to write a post about HOW MY SCALE ISN"T MOVING BUT I SEE THE POUNDS MELTING OFF!!!
And here was your post!! I haven't taken before and after pictures yet but I can FEEL the difference in my body and my husband actually said I look smaller yesterday which always, ALWAYS helps!!! SO...I don't HAVE to start a new thread and you read my mind today! Since I started to lose I have hovered around the 192 range but I was at a store last weekend and stood on a scale and it read between 185 and 190 so who knows. All I know is I feel better, I look better and I'm STICKING TO IT!!! GO LOW CARB!!! |
Woohoo. Hoochie Momma!
Alina is the queen of inches lost. |

You're the meaning in my life You're the inspiration You bring feeling to my life You're the inspiration... ;) |
