On the plane coming home in June of 2005…think I was 199… I did that with my face because I didn’t like the way my double chin looked.  I didn’t see the double stomach there…

Size 9 jeans…woohoo! Not bad for a 37 year old!! Just playing around with the camera.  I am not feeling well so excuse the way I look…no makeup and my ahir is acting stupid…
This is on lowcarb for almost a year.  I have fallen off the wagon several times but always picked myself up and got back on.  This worked for me…and I am glad I read the Atkins book from cover to cover.  I always balked at doing low carb because I thought I would be eating meat all the time.  I have vegetables and fruits…lean meats…good fats…and this is the result.  I am never deprived and I only count carbs.  😀  Low carb is a great alternative for people that find themselves struggling on other types of diets.  I never did well on low calorie/low fat…was always grouchy and in those before pics I was on constant weight watchers.  The only thing that I did was lose the same 5 pounds over and over…plus 13.95 a month for the online version.  😀  All diets work…if you are committed and stick to it.  I found one that is right for me…I will never go back to sugar, flour and starches…I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.  Plus wearing JR sizes helps!
