Stats: Over 130 pounds lost!
Oh wow... I am so so excited!! I have been selected!!

I recieved an email from the Atkins Nutritionals center.. I have been chosen to be featured on their website! They sent me some release forms for me to sign that I will need to fax back to them. They will then contact me with questions and maybe for new pictures... I am just so thrilled! I have worked so hard on losing weight.. and it is showing! They will be printing my story and my before and after pictures as well.

I just wanted to share my good news with you all.. if it wasn't for Dr Atkins and this website I wouldn't have been able to come this far. I will let you all know when my story is published.

OH MY GOSH!!! Congratulations!!! That is just wonderful!! I can't wait to read it because I'm not too familiar with your weightloss story, though anyone who loses over 100 pounds is surely doing something right and is worthy of being featured!

Congratulations.. You are beautiful and a great example of Atkins.


But, is this the same website that promotes a bunch of shakes and candy bars? It seems like that Atkins Nutritionals is so far from the real thing.
