4 months without Bread!!!!
 

Its been 4 months & 9 days LC on Atkins I thought about it the other day Wow its really been 4 months since I had Bread,Pasta,Potatoes,Flour,Suger, Junk food ect ect ect!!!! :D That itself is a success story for me I was the worst carb addict ever Id have a cup of Coffee & poor 1/2 a cup of suger into it every meal we ate had pasta & potatoes & bread or rolls.In 4 months I ve only had one cheat we went out to mexi food & I ordered a taco salad thinking Id just eat the inside & leave the shell when it got to me it had refried beans in it So I cheated that one time & felt awful latter to me its not worth it to cheat why go back to feeling sick after you eat!!So I havnt cheated since then.Ive lost 32 pnds & 33 inches total of my body.I'll update my story as I loose more but thought after 4 months I had a story. Heres some before & now pics

I just wanted to pop in here and say congrats!

Doesn't it feel great to realize "hey I can live without this junk!" :lol:

It is really funny, when I talk to people about what you can and can not have, they freak because you can't have bread, pasta, rice etc. I get the "oh my gosh! I could NEVER do that diet. I would die!" I tend to chuckle at this point knowing full well that they are the carb addicts and I broke the habit ;)

Good going on your success so far ;) Keep up the great work! Great pics btw ;)

Congratulations, Melanie -- and thank you for posting the photos! You look terrific.

I liked the way you headlined your post, too -- emphasizing the four months sticking to the program you chose, and how you feel about it, and not just the (very impressive :) ) weight loss!

Here's to a happy, breadless summer!!!!!

Thanks for posting Melanie, your doing so well :thup: doesnt the time just fly by once we get into the program. I so agree with you that cheating isnt worth it, only makes life a struggle.
Your looking great :D

Thank you all! :D Today Im down to 179 36 pnds lost & 35 inches gone.This WOL is so GREAT!!! :wave:

Hi its me again :wave:
Just checked out your website and want to say how happy I am for you about your 'feminine health issues' becomming resolved.
Its amazing how much our food choices affect all aspects of our life isnt it. Good Luck with 'all' your plans ;) :D

Thank you Bloom

It is amazing for sure.i BELEIVE alot of it is caused by insulin resistance. I need to update my web page after much consideration we decided not to have no more children for my healths sake & were just getting where we can have my oldest baby sit & its nice to feel a little free from crying babies except for the babys in my daycare. ;) I weighed in in the middle of the day today & it was 178 usually my swooshes come in the am :D Im 14 pnds from Goal at least my first goal. Were going away camping at the beach so I should have some nice pictures when I get back. :wave:

Well it sure sounds like you have plenty on your hands as it is to keep you out of trouble ;)

Hope you have a great camping weekend away and enjoy better weather than we have in NZ, its cold and raining, Im about to light the fire.

heres my newest pic taken on a nature hike at the pismo sand dunes..

Well done Melanie :thup: That's a great demo of a melt-down :)

Wa'il

Congratulations!

Continued success to you, Melanie!
