MY SECOND ATKINSVERSARY

Today marks two years on Atkins!  There have been so many ups and downs.  I have lost weight and inches and gained weight and inches.  My body fat has gone down and then back up, usually based on when I am on vacation and eating a few extra net carbs, but not always.  There have also been times that my hormonal imbalances have driven my weight gains and losses.  But, all things considered, I am smaller now than I was when I started.

Here is what I have lost in the past two years:
