wow that's incredible!! did it take you since 2002 to lose all that weight? those pictures are amazing!

 

[Jim]

Morning Stacey, no it took about 2 1/2 - 3 years to get near where I am now love, I lost a pretty steady 2 - 3lbs a week with the odd whooshie of 4 - 5lbs and the odd stall along the way. I always looked on it as a long term thing and still do. I know now that carbs are my enemy, and always will be.

 

[staceysantucci]

I seem to be stuck at losing 1lb a week :/ which is really depressing given how hard I work for my weight loss, just hoping that I can stick through this rubbish loss at the moment

 

[slaj]

Your pictures are inspirational Jim, well done, I am on my first week ever on the Atkins diet, your pictures prove it really does work

 

[Jim]

Morning Stacey, You haven't posted stats so I don't know how much you have to lose, it's a general rule of thumb that the more you have to lose the quicker you will lose.

Thanks slaj and good luck
