Your weight loss is amazing. Great job.
Mine is a little slow about two pounds a week but I am not giving up. At least it is working.
Congratulations on your success! You must feel like a million dollars.

Thanks so much, I am sitting here trying to see how I can motivate myself and I come across your post. Wow what a great effort and I have learnt so much from it. I really do need to not let others stop me.
congrads you should be very proud of yourself for getting out there and doing it. Lots of us are sitting here just thinking about it.
I want to be like you when I grow up

I wouldn't consider 2 pounds a week slot at all...that's over 100 pounds in a year if you keep it up.

Congrats on your rapid weight loss!! It's tough when you're the only one and you're not getting a lot of support, eh?

So are you reg force? I'm a reservist with an infantry unit.

Congratulations! Your weight loss is inspiring. I am just starting out and weigh 265, I hope to have half the good results you did. Could you give me example meal plan? Did you lift weights at all? Thank you

atmasters,
I think you have done great! Congrats on the weight loss. Your wife should be really proud of you! I gained about 65 pounds with my daughter whom was 8lbs 7ozs at birth three and a half months ago. I am so very depressed and have been on and off Atkins since the begining of March. I now weigh 205 when I was 234 the day she was born. I lost down to 205 after she was born then began LCing and got down to 195 and yo yoed till now I am presently off of Atkins and weigh 200. I have a 15 year old son and a 12 year old daughter and we are filing for custody of my 11 year old step daughter so my problem is that I just can't afford this WOE anymore and everyday that goes by I get more and more depressed. Your story was very inspiring considering I am or would like to lose as much weight as possible before we try again for our last child together (we got Jenny now we want Christopher ) in about 2-3 months before my husband goes to Iraq but I am out of resources. What kinds of things did you eat and what did you avoid that gave you such success? I guess I am looking for advice and options if you have any. When I started in March I actually lost 15 pounds the first two weeks but then stalled and went on and off Atkins from there till now I feel like a lost cause. Any help would be great. You achieved a goal that I have so that I can get pregnant again. If I don't lose this weight first I will definately be a balloon with the next one and I am going to be 35 in May and to wait to have a baby in another year will kill me at 36 because my daughter was tough enough to carry for nine months. Thanks.
