Hello all! My name is Jen. I started Atkins on March 1st at 304. I had much success on it a few years ago (but gained it back). We had sort of a "Biggest Loser" contest at work so I decided it was time to take action. I won the contest with a four-month loss of 45 pounds. Now, after about 7 months, I have lost 70 pounds. I've been stuck around 233-235 for about a month but I just began working out and I've since lost another size so I'm not discouraged!

The first picture is from the end of December, 2006:



The second is from about a month ago:



I know I will keep it off this time. I've learned so much from support sites like this one: I don't have to stuff myself every time I sit down to eat. I'm not going to die from starvation if I don't eat RIGHT NOW. I have an arsenal of low-carb recipes that the whole family can enjoy. I have great support from my family and friends, on line and off, and for that I thank YOU!

you have done a wonderful job
You look great!
You should be proud of your self.
and I think more important you have learned stuff along the way.
