You have made it down the Long road of losing weight and slimming down. Great job and it is good to encourage others and inform them of the truth of Atkins dieting. Goal has been reached. You have also showed me with many proofs and scientific studies the profitability of this diet. It has been proven safe, effective and helps many other health conditions.

Many doctors with little knowledge or time to truly see the evidence will keep speaking against what they do not know. Speaking from ignorance or for their own profit. Maybe they have no true interest in their patients. Maybe they're are lazy. Some, we know, just don't care one way or the other. Yet, those that subscribe and see the evidence will be surprised at the usefulness of this diet. Many health issues have been seen to benefit from the Atkins diet. Seems it is growing in credibility and acceptance.

After nearly 30 + years...Victoria, Dr. Atkins and people like you do make a difference. Maybe you don't think people like me can change or will make that effort. But it is the ones like me that eventually see and make a difference to others. Thank You.

Your impact is evident and useful. But, I know you well. As I look and eventually make my choice, you have made a huge impact in how I see and do things as to dieting and life. You have encouraged me in your life and lifted me up with the way you have overcome. God has given you many gifts. I see this is one. Others do too.

One gift I see though that truly humbles me, is the gift of your friendship and encouragement. The gift of the heart you give others.
Many can say that of you. I don't see all of them that do. Yet, I know they are out there. I can't speak for them all. I know even so, like me, they appreciate what you have done and do.

May God Bless you with His light, grace, strength, endurance, peace, health, and many friends through life to share and enjoy it with. Hope to be among them.

Thanks for the difference you make to me and many others. Wow, to me you are truly a wonder to see. Everyone at work mentions it at times how well you have done.

For those who are looking at Atkins you have found one who can guide you well. Those among you who are unfounded in
knowledge and venture here beware...
beware ...beware. You will not fare thee well..turn back before you go to far to turn back. This is not a site to challenge without being well versed and well informed and credible. If you are not, Au revoir YOU, Have been warned...

Hugs,,,, =-)

You looked pretty good before and after. Sort of like Isabella Rossalini (?). Since you like fish, check out my aquarium blog when you get a chance. You are in great shape if you can do 60 minutes eliptical and then circuit training too. Of course, just one slip and the pounds will pile back on, so keep at it; I appreciate it.
