WOW, THAT'S SOME GOAL!!!
We have a ten cent bottle and can deposit here in Michigan. I'll push my shopping cart all the way to Nashville iff'n you're gonna be there, trenchcoat, fingerless gloves and duck- taped shoes and all. Nice smile too!

Wow Mel!
You give me hope. Good for you! I'm so impressed.
I've started the Low Carb regime this week hoping to lose 1.5 stones over the next 10 weeks or so.
I'm not doing the full hog though as I think the induction phase is unhealthy. It still seems to work for me eating fruit and veg, so I just cut out the fast food, sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes etc and usually still lose weight pretty steadily.
Giving up smoking? Mrs Gutless here says that will have to wait, but I am going to the gym and swimming.
Good luck with the next challenge you set yourself.

what jonny said
it is stunning what you can achieve when you decide to make it so
congratulations!
the coolest thing, though, is even in your 'before' picture you can see a beautiful and happy person. that's probably a big part of why you could pull this off in the first place.

Mast, thanks so much for the link, I'm reading it right now. I used to have a good support forum for quitting smoking, but I lost it along with my old puter. I remember when I had quit in 2002, it was very hard, but I did it and I KNOW I can do it again!
Fubar, it is true what you said, about how "before" I seemed to be a happy person. I was! I think that's why I let myself get out of control. I didn't take care of myself because I was always taking care of my husband and kids. Thank you for saying that.

You look absolutely fabulous Mel!
So tell us how you did it? I know it was slow and steady cause you've been working at it for awhile now
I'm very proud of you that was an incredible accomplishment! Now you need to go on the discovery channel "I lost it" program!
Very wonderful pics girl! And to think, you just had a baby

Dr. Atkins. I purchased his book, read it cover to cover, and followed the steps in his low carb plan. I think too many people make the mistake of not reading. I am so thankful I did because he gave me the tools I needed for maintaining my weight and health for life. Also, this website/message board, has been my saving grace: http://forum.lowcarber.org/index.php?
p.s. my username on that website is mel92, just in case anyone drops by.

Mel,
Congratulations, truly an inspiration. Now if I can make my mind and quit smoking, I'd be happy.
But gotta go now, smoke break

Mel, Grats. You look great and probably feel even better.
Mast, that is a scary program that calcs how much you smoked and such. Hell, I quit when I got preg with my daughter and had no idea just how much I would have smoked by now if I had not...
Quit 7 years 5 months 3 weeks 6 days 20 hours ago
Money Saved $8210.67 (Wish I'd have kept that in a jar, then we would have spare cash to come to the convention)
Cigs not smoked 54,736 (Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!)
Life saved 27 Weeks 1 day 1 hour and 20 mins (That is over 6 months )

I DID, Mast - I know it's freaky, huh? Out of all those posts and I was drawn to that one. I think they're a magnetic charge between clusterheads and supporters, maybe.
302 cigarettes not smoked Michelle!! UnFREAKINbelievable, girl! Canadian smokes are 25 to a pack - that's like TEN packs that you haven't smoked!! Of course, that's a little more than $52.91 - at 10 bucks a pack here right now, you've just saved more than $100 Canadian!! (Not to mention your lungs )Good for you!
