Title: Was gonna wait until Nashville but...
Post by Melissa on Dec 8th, 2003, 8:48pm
I'm not sure if I'll make it there next year, so I thought I'd post a link to my recent pics of myself (yes, being vain here).  I've been working very hard at getting myself healthy, and really wanted to surprise everyone next year, but due to financial issues, it's up in the air right now.  So here is a link for those who have met me in person, and don't worry if I do make it there next year, I will look even more different by that time!!!

P.S. The first pic is from Vancouver's OUCH convention, I'm sure you'll remember it, it's the one that made me realize what I needed to do. :)

WoW!  What an inspiration to us all!  My husband has lost 35 pounds on attkins diet so far and swears by it also.  You look so wonderful!  I remember when I lost 75 pounds a few years back.  You feel like a whole new person.  I am proud of you Mel.  Keep up the good work!

wow, congratulations Jade!!  It does feel so much better and shopping is great!  I just bought a pair (for the first time in my life) of leather pants as a little reward!  They are the soft suade kind ;;D   I am hoping that my hubby's job goes OK, so that next year I can see everyone in Nashville and not feel so self concious (sp?)  :)  

Again, great job and slow and steady wins the race, right?  I know you can do it!!

Thanks again everyone!  I'm starting to get a real picture of myself through your eyes, and it brings joy to my heart!

Leesa, I'm doing low carb, but follow a lot of the rules from Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution.  You can get the book here: http://www13.netrition.com/atkins_books_page.html

If you ever have any questions, just email me sis!:)

Honestly I haven't tried them yet, I'm waiting to go into maintanence before eating pre-packaged food because they stall my loss, but I've heard many good things about them and can't wait to try!!  

hugs &  :-*

Most of the endulge are only 2 carbs and are made by atkins....
You'll love them if you like chocolate.
Been on Atkins on and off ....mostly on for a year.
