Hi, I'm Bette and I've been doing Atkins since Jan 1st 2003. I was 201 and last weigh in was 166. My goal is 150 and that will be pretty thin for me. I'm 5'8". I don't consider myself "on" Atkins anymore , it's wol now.

Wow Bette! Congrats! you've done great!

Only question....why 150 if you say it will be "pretty thin" for you?

I'm 5'8" also, and I'm shooting for 160. I have a big frame, and that's about 30# lower than I've been in over 18 years.

How do you feel now? Are you happy with the way you look? If so, why do you wnat to go down to 150?

Again, congrats on your progress so far!

Well, I weighed 140 when I was 18 and people considered me heavy so now that I'm much older I thought 150 would be nice. I'm still losing about a pound every week. I feel ok but think I'll feel better at 150.

"heavy" at 140?!?!?!?!

I'm 5'8" and would look great at 160, but I think a bit too thin at 150. My daughter is 5'9" and at 136 is considered "Very thin".....people ask her all the time if she's anorexic!

Are you large framed? small?

Now....how about how YOU feel? How do YOU think you look at 166? THAT's what's important....not how others see you!

Doing great, keep it up!

They always said that I was big boned.

I would feel better if I weighed less. I think that I would look better too.
