I just had to do it!!

[elisebutt]

I know I'm only supposed to weigh on a Saturday but I just had my hair done and I noticed that I had cheekbones once again so I just had to go and get weighed - Wowee - another 5lbs gone - whoosh!!! I guess Atkins really does agree with me!
A grand total of 16lbs in exactly 2 weeks... yippee dippy day!!

 

[Jiminy102]

Well Done Elise. More than a stone in 2 weeks is just fantastic.

You'll be in those size 6 jeans in no time.

You are just getting amazing results from Atkins, Elise. Look at that shiny new clippie. Looks really good on you.

I'm so happy and proud for you. You might want to stop weighing more than once a week pretty soon, though, when your loss slows down will be soon enough

Let me know when you get your package.

Amazing -- great job!!

 

[TigH]

WOW! That is awesome, Elise!!! Great that you can see your cheekbones too!

I just knew you were going to say that you broke down and had a bunch of chocolate. Thanks for proving me wrong!!! Keep up the great work!

 

[elisebutt]

Actually Karen, I think I overdid it on the exercise a bit yesterday - dug out one of my old workout tapes (Cindy Crawford) and felt a bit dizzy afterwards so had to have one of the little bits of chocolate just to boost myself - along with a gallon of water.

I can't believe the loss myself - i just know that something is bound to happen - like i get weighed on saturday and I put a load back on!! That too good to be true feeling.

Mind you tho, my mum only started on saturday and she has lost 5lbs so maybe it's genetic??

 

[TigH]

Then thank God for those genetics!!! Don't know if you saw my thread about ephedra free supplements, but the short story is a friend of my sister's wants to use a weight loss pill and I am concerned about her health. Someone suggested I tell her about Atkins if she wants to lose weight, so I did, and I used YOUR weight loss story as an example! Hopefully she will be intrigued about it and give it a shot! So thanks for sharing your success with us, Elise! You may (hopefully!!!!!) be responsible for helping me convince this person that weight loss pills are for the birds and that finding the right program is the key!!

Hope you enjoyed that chocolate. Grrr, Cindy Crawford (my husband adores her).

I have always thought that if you could lose weight just by taking a pill then why wouldn't everyone be doing it and eating themselves sick. Plus, don't some of them have really side effects like heart attacks etc?

My doctor initially advised me about a year ago to cut down on the carbs and I just pooh-poohed her for going on about 'faddy diets'- and carried on trying to eat healthily, whilst going to the gym - total lost over 3 months - about 2lbs!! Low fat is not for me anymore and although I miss bread, pasta, rice, I really, really don't miss the size that I've dropped!

I just had a gorgeous lunch of avocado and smoked salmon followed by a handful of raspberries and ,whilst I don't feel stuffed to the gills, I feel replete.
