Try a sparkling flavored water such as ICE and slowly add more water into your day. I was a HUGE soda drinker as well. I started by eliminating one a day and replacing it with water.

Fantabulous!!!!!!! You look amazing and so happy! I cannot wait for the day when I can say "I did it". Great job!

I'm on month 1 day 4 of Atkins and am down 14lbs and 10 inches. The induction phase is rough, but it only lasts two weeks and then you start adding carbs back slowly. You won't gain the weigh back unless you go past your specific carb limit. It varies for everyone so don't use someone else's success or lack there of as a…

I weight myself once a week in the morning. I always weigh myself in nothing but bra and panties. The floor is level so it doesn't matter where I put the scale, but I do tend to put it in the same position. My scale has been fairly accurate, save a few ounces, since the day I bought it two years ago. I spent about $30 on…

Great work! Your current weight is 5lbs shy of my goal weight! You look amazing!

I would say to have some fruit on deck. Strawberries, watermelon, mangoes, etc...I has helped me a ton. I have an awful sweet tooth and I needed something to combat those snickers bars. lol. Also, try drinking water as much as possible. It helps to flush your system and helps keep you from feeling hungry. I have learned…

It's rough. Especially the first couple of weeks. To help keep myself focused, I constantly remind myself of why I decided to take this journey. I remind myself daily of my family's history of diabetes, and high blood pressure. I also keep pictures of Beyonce and Kim Kardashian plastered all over my computer screen. lol.…

BEST.NSV.EVER! lol. I cannot wait until I reach that point where I am 100% confident with what I look like naked. Go girl!

That's wonderful! You are doing a great job!

These are definitely the best NSV's. lol

Go you!

I'm 28 and am now 189lbs but started my journey at 220lbs a couple of years ago. My goal is 130-135. Somewhere along those lines. lol.

I can ONLY imagine. This is the first time I have heard of such doughnuts and I am already excited to try one. You are soooo good though. There is no way I would be able to only eat half. Unless of course I don't like it. But if it's anything like the frosted chocolate doughnut... I am in trouble. lol.

I'm currently following Atkins and everyone reacts differently. You may or may not stall. I am 21 days in and while it's not a long time, I am having steady progress. At last weigh in ( over a week ago) I was down 11lbs and 2 inches around my hips, thighs, and waist. If you feel that something isn't working, change it .…

I've been where you are. You just have to make the conscience decision to stop right in your tracks and get right from that point on. We all go through that period where we have moments of weakness that we give in to. It's called life.

Holy cow! Great job!

Thanks for this. I have a picture of myself in a tankini. I will be honest though and say that I'm not brave enough to post it.

This one is tough. Not everyone freaks about nudity. He was more than likely 100% okay with his daughter being there so I don't really see the issue. She is four and besides asking questions, there was nothing really inappropriate about it IMO. No one was doing anything that would scar her so it's not really a big deal.

Wait...What?

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine. You are definitely an inspiration. You look amazing and congratulations on you weigh loss!

Bookmarked. I sooooooo have to try this. lol

I was just on my newsfeed asking if anyone is doing Atkins. I am on day 13 of induction and would love some new friends to help along the way. This change is hard enough already. lol

We're twins! lol

CW- 193 lbs GW- 130 lbs But with that I say this, I have learned that it's not really a certain weight that I'm after but measurements. I want a 28 inch waist, 38 inch hips, and 24 inch thighs. If I can get there, no matter what the scale says, I will be ecstatic.

Currently - 5'5, 194 pounds, size 12 jeans, 35in waist, 44 inch hips, 27 inch thigh Goal- 30 inch waist, 40 inch hips, 24 inch thighs. Weight doesn't really matter as long as all of my measurements add up.

At last weigh in, down 5lbs. Will weigh in again tomorrow. Haven't measured yet. Will do that tomorrow also.

Folgers Gourmet Lively Columbian. I am a new coffee drinker but I have fallen in love. lol. I would love to venture out and try new flavors though.

I love that I am shapely. Although, I do need to work on defining said shape. lol. I have great curves that even with the "extra baggage" I can still see it.

At least 20lbs

My starting weight is (as of this morning) 199lbs. I am looking to reach 179lb by the March deadline. I have pics but my phone is not letting me upload them. SMH
