Hello everyone - just wanted to tell you all thanks for helping me get started on Adkins. So far I've lost 15 pounds and an amazing 11 inches!

I will be going on my third Caribbean cruise in October and will once again be looking for new clothes - all in smaller sizes than what I've shopped for to go on previous cruises!

I pretty much follow the Adkins induction diet every day, with an occasional day here or there with a few extra carbs. And finally my weight has quit roller-coasting and has just kept a steady down-hill trend - and I love it!

Thanks again for everyone's advice and encouragement!

Cindy

Way to go, Cindy! Great work on the pounds and inches! Won't it be great to buy those cruise clothes in a smaller size.

Well done.....Have a great cruise Wish i was going on a cruise.....................
I know the feeling of going down a size or two...It feels good hey'
Keep it up...
Post some photos of the cruise if you get any so we can all enjoy.

Appreciate all the congratulatory posts! And yes, I'm looking forward to clothes shopping for my October cruise. I still have three months of weight loss to go, so I don't want to rush out just yet to buy new things. Although I did buy a new bathing suit that I fell in love with - and best of all it doesn't have a skirt on it to hide my "old" hips!

Wish you all could come on the cruise - it would be great to meet all of you in person!

I'll keep you updated on my progress. You'll probably hear me shout for joy when I get below the 150 mark, that's for sure. That's near the weight I was when I entered the police academy 10 years or so ago (but back then I was in much better physical condition, I can assure you!)

Have a great day...
Cindy

I havent been here long, but we should plan some sort of a lowcarbeating.com cruise, reunion, locarbnic, so we could meet...at the same time.

Or sponsor some sort of event at some central location....I vote Disney World, but Vegas will do hehehehehehhehehe.

But, seriously...do we do those kinds of things here and can we all get "lowcarbeating blue" shirts with our nicks on them for the event????
