I have been doing Atkins since 2/8/2003 and have gone from 245 lbs down to 191.5 lbs. My goal is to get down to 185 lbs. I am on OWL at this point and the weight loss has started to slow down. I am still loosing, just not as fast as I was before. I've gone from a size 22 down to a size 16 (in pants), and it's such a wonderful feeling. I haven't felt this good in a long time.

I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.

Angelgirl!! You have some fantastic stats - you must be so pleased. It is normal to slow on the losing - they say that after Induction that you really shouldn't lose more than a pound a week - that may depend on how much you have to lose though!

Your goal is so near! This is great news.

This forum is just a fantastic place, lots of great advice, lots of support, and I've also found lost of really great ideas for meals, for avoiding the 'cheats'. On making sure I'm drinking enough water... even people to track exercise with. It's just a very, very good place where everyone really cares for and supports each other - we welcome you with much pleasure!

Since you are obviously a veteran lowcarber, you should check in on the Newbies forums every once and a while to give some advice to the new folks from your own experiences.

Welcome onboard!

Hugs,

Thank you all for such a warm welcome and for all the good wishes on my success.

It's been a journey for me to get where I am today, but it's been well worth it all. I feel great. I'd been hypoglycemic before starting Atkins and since being on Atkins, I have not had one hypoglycemic episode.

I look forward to going through the recipes to add to my collection of lc recipes.
