I'm happy to say that I have finally reached the "under 10 lbs. to go" phase

Today was a BIG day for me - I started Atkins on 1/20/03, and lost 7 lbs. in the first 10 days. But from that point on until today I hadn't lost an ounce! But today, I'm down 2 lbs.!! That loss was a huge boost to my determination to get rid of these last 9 lbs.

I agree with all who have written about how slow the losses are when you have a fairly small amount of weight to lose. I also agree that when we do lose some, it really shows! I have been doing more measuring and less weighing to determine my progress, but it still feels good to see the scales go down

My sweetheart, who is also trying to lose weight, brought up a good point. If we lose the weight slowly, we will have a better chance to keep it off permanently. I like that thought.

I'll be here, cheering you all on to your goals!! I know we will do this together!

Have a wonderful LC day
