My wife had measured me at the beginning of January in order to make me some shirts (which, incidently never got made :P ), but, it's probably a good thing anyways. I'm still losing weight and inches, but, I wanted to share my before/during's with everyone:

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 232lbs --> 200.5lbs
Neck: 16.75" --> 16"
Chest: 47" --> 44.5"
Waist: 52" --> 45.5"
Hip: 47.5" --> 42.5"

Needless to say, I am ecstatic! I started Atkins in the middle of January and the results speak for themselves! I've also lowered my LDL and Triglycerides too

Legolas

to congratulate you! Those are awesome stats! I too started in Jan. - down 15# but also lost inches and MOST importantly feel great!

keep up the good work!
Jan

That is so wonderful, Legolas!

I'm sure you feel great. And you deserve to

I, OTOH, am still waiting for something to move, anything! Been back on the wagon 10 days, (maybe more?) and - nada.

Oh well (hangin' in there...)

Thanks Katana and jers52. I appreciate the support. I never thought that I would be losing weight (and inches!) by eating all the foods I love.

The only issue I have is that everytime I see someone who is really overweight, I have this overwhelming urge to tell them about Atkins.. Is that wrong?

That is really fantastic!! You must feel great I don't think it is bad to tell people about Atkins - but for whatever reason, I have noticed all the people who i just casually talk about Atkins to (as in 'i have been trying the no sugar/low carb thing, and feel great') tend to want to know more than if i say 'you should try this!!'... i think that scares people, and then they want to run away

That is sooo AWESOME!!

Oh goodness! You don't know how many times I've said that on this board! hahaha

Congratulations Legolas! You are doing a great job!

By the way, my fiance loves your name as he is a giant LOTR fan!
