Plan: Atkins
Stats: 231/175/160 Female 64 inches
BF:40%/31/??
Progress: 79%
Location: Alabama
Default Finally 2 more pounds gone

I have been on the Atkins eating plan for 5.5 months now and was doing well at the beginning... I lost a total of 40 lbs in the first 4 months, there were some slow periods and some swishes
For the past month and a half I go up 2-3 lbs then gradually back down, still eating the same amount of carbs and fats, trying to get most of my carbs (20-25 a day) from the veggie catagory. I am proud to say I have never had a serious cheat, eating two Atkins muffins in one day is the closest I have come to cheating. Needless to say I was starting to get real disapointed but I NEVER thought of quiting. Then this morning....
I weighed in at 189!!! This is the first time I have been under 190 in at least 12 years, even with all my yoyo dieting I never got under 190. I am so happy (happy dance, happy dance)

The message here is don't give up the ship. Some here may lose faster than others but heck for us slow losers the victory is even sweeter.
