I would add that after three months of lowering my once-considerable carb intake, I am now back in my size 10 clothes. Give me one more month and I'll be an 8 again!
Good for you!!! I just dropped off about 25 pairs of size 40 pants at Goodwill. My 34's are just a bit loose now, and I'm thinking about trying on some 32's... gotta have one pair of tight jeans! ;^)
Yeah, the health effects of Atkins are FAR worse than the health effects of being 50 pounds overweight! ROFL!!
