Today it is 16 months since I've started Atkins WOE and I'd like to give you my best advice.

I have seen that many people take and post progress pictures. I LOVE to see those!
My advice is - take pictures. You will be amazed how little weight you need to lose to see a great difference in your appearance.

Example.....

The first picture was taken in September 2003, the second just some weeks ago. The difference in weight is about 6 lbs only which isn't much for me - I'm tall and strongly built.

The difference in sizes on the other hand - the black top is now XS instead of L and jeans are three sizes smaller!

Now - losing 'only' 6 lbs between September 2003 and today could be considered slow and could, sadly, be a cause of frustration. Not so! The pictures and the clothes show the real difference. Right, Mel?

So don't let the scales ruin your progress - use other measures as well and enjoy this WOE, you bet I do!
