I am so inspired by your tremedous success and achievement. It's amazing! After losing 30 pounds, I really don't think people can see the difference yet, but 71 POUNDS! When I reach that ... I'll post my B & A as well. Gosh, ... I'm all excited now just seeing how that transformed you...I can't wait to see the new me.

Thanks for your courage to post the before. You look great!

Keep it up.

My My! Don't you look great!
Congrats on your loss!

Geat job man 8^) keep it up

Wow, Donald can't believe your results. Thanks for the pics they really inspire me to go on. You look great!

WOW Great inspiration for all of us.

I have lost just 32 lbs and am amazed when somebody tells me they see a difference. Can't wait to lose more.
This is the best Way of eating , Best way of life.
Looking forward to your next picture.

Hooray, Donald!



71 of those little pompom girls might get a bit tedious, but you get the idea!

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing the photos and your story -- definitely a Success Story

You sure DO look great...I could swear you don't even look like 355 lbs. in the after shot (and that's with BAGGY clothes on!!)...must be alot of muscle...

Donald-
What an impressive difference! You are looking so great! You should be so very proud!

Take care,
Linda

You look great. I agree that you look like you weigh less then what you posted. Have you been exercising from the start? I showed your pictures to my dh. He started working out about a month ago, and has changed his eating habits somewhat, but does not want to try low-carb. For some reason he is afraid that it wouldn't be healthy since he is lifting so much weight.

His start weight is probably comparable to yours (he doesn't know for sure). Hopefully if he sees some progress with me, he will get interested enough to read the book. I started less then a week ago, but so far, I'm doing good.

Thank you so much for all of the encouragement from those who have posted here!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...THIS GROUP IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN MY ONGOING WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS!



To those who have written that I look smaller than 350lbs (bless you!) I assure you thatI have plenty more weight to lose! I think my weight is spread out evenly around my body rather than mostly in one spot (OK, my gut is big...but getting smaller).

Crafty: I probably shouldn't admit this here, but I haven't exercised at all yet. I want to, but I haven't made time for it. I know in the Atkins book it says that we're not doing the full program unless exercise is incorporated, but I haven't started yet. Unless chasing around my 3 month old puppy counts!

Continued success and healthy LCing to all...

Donald

Donald,

All I can say is WOW what a change! I am so happy for you to have shown such great change in such a short time. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Just more proof that if you stick with it, it does work

Again keep up the great work!
Nancy

I am so inspired! You look great! Keep up the good work and keep posting pics!

Splendid work, Donald. I am going to have to share these photos with my husband. He, our son and myself did before pics and I can't wait to compare them when we get down the line farther. Thanks for sharing your success.
