About 80# down since April, first on Atkins-like, then on Atkins-period.

Whoo hoo! Yay!

As you know, as of last December, I had lost about 190 pounds. This was a bad year - in many ways - and I did have some regain, but it wasn't low carbing that did it. However, I'm back on the straight and narrow again and feeling so much better (why do I keep forgetting that part? Ah well - at least my lapses get shorter and shorter since I started in 1998). I'm still down about 150 pounds so far.

My father has lost about 90 pounds since July 2002, and gone from a 54 waist to a 42-44. My mother claims she hasn't lost much weight, but the last time I remember her this small was in the 1960s when she was taking "diet pills." She's much healthier now.

And you and SamAdams76 - WOW! I'm so proud of both you!

My wife looks back on those days in disbelief and wonder at kicking the habit. People go to jail today for what Drs were handing out then...

You're an inspiration, Maven, and you figured large (NO pun intended! < g >) in helping me get going and find my footing in Atkins. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. You hang in there.
