Wow, in just a month you've gotten great results!!! Keep up the good work!

That's completely fabulous!!! Congratulations!!

Welcome Lynn ... I'm new too exactly a week. I haven't hit the brick wall yet but I've done so in the past many times. Log everything you eat even the smallest things and you will be surprised how fast calories add up. Bump up your exercise more and you can always watch your starches and carbs a little closer, cut the…

I'm a freak about logging and I've only been doing it a week now. But I do log everything, butter, cream cheese, whipped cream ... everything. Because all adding together they do add up to a lot if you're not careful.

You look great! Congrats ... I hope to have similar results in 8 months or so!!! Good for you!!

I'm 5'5 and weigh 252 ... I'm big boned and was very thin as a child and teenager. When I was 135 - 145 range I looked sickly but thought I was fat. When I have pictures to share, I will do so. Here's to us big framed girls!!! :)

What a great picture ... you are very photogenic! The first picture wasn't bad btw but I know what you mean :)

I feel the same way ... well said!

It's not a fad diet, but cut everything in half and drink tons of water and watch the carbs, under 40 gram per day. That's Atkins in a nutshell.

The first pair, I think, look the best!!

Welcome ... I'm new too and I have already learned so much on this board and I'm also beginning to feel better even after two days. It's really amazing!

I do think that being REAL and letting others know what our struggles are is so very important ... I'll be posting pretty regularly. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks so much for your response ... I have a long way to go myself ... maybe we could be friends :)

I need friends too! I'll be yours, please feel free to add me to your list!
