Woo hoo! 5 lbs down since last Monday! (That's the best thing about weighing in weekly; I get bigger loss numbers). I started out at 229 lbs (I didn't start with Fatsecret at the beginning of starting Atkins). As of today I'm at 186 lbs. That's a loss of 43 lbs in just 4.5 months. I <3 it. I'm only 7 lbs away from my second mini goal of a total loss of 50 lbs since November 1, 2014. A lot of people ask if going low-carb has been worth it for me since there are so many good things I can't have (ie, ice cream, pop-tarts, donuts, french fries, etc.). And, I have to say that it has been worth it. Wearing a size 10/12 instead of an 18/20 makes me feel like a whole different person. I'm gonna stop raving now because this entry is starting to feel like a motivational campaign for Atkins or something, and I don't want my journal entries to have that kinda feel. Anyway, I'm very pleased with my loss for the week. I haven't weighed this amount in years. I feel like a whole new person. I think the biggest challenge is going through the holidays, and I mean ANY holiday, lol. Thanksgiving and Christmas were rough, but I only had one cheat day (which is the only cheat day I've had since starting November 1, 2014). Then there was the temptation of all the boxed chocolates at Valentine's Day, but John did good and didn't tempt me with any. Now we have all this Easter candy lining the aisles at the stores. Cadbury cream eggs and Peeps are my downfall. But, I'm not gonna cave. Nope. Not after this much progress. Next weigh-in, Monday, March 23, 2015. I'm gonna BRING IT this week! :D
