Default Thank you, thank you, thank you....

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you folks are the best.

I've reached my goal of 165 lbs and am feeling great about it!

I started Atkin's near the beginning of 2003 at 185 lbs. It took me a long time to loose the 20 lbs., but I finally did it. For a long time I was eating a lot of Atkin's approved junk food and I finally went back to induction and watched the size of the portions I was eating to loose the last 10 lbs.

Another problem I had along the way was that I wasn't exercising. Then about 8 weeks ago I started doing Body-for-Life and I can't believe the difference it has made. I modifed the eating plan part of Body-for-Life so that I am still doing Atkin's.

I still have a bit of a belly and could stand to loose another 5-10 lbs, but if I never lost another lb, I'd still be happy with my body as it is now.

Did I mention that you guys are the best? You guys are the best. I don't know what I would have done without this website. So much information, so much knowledge, so much support, so much caring.

You folk are the best!
Arnie
