Update…
I am doing really great. I am down to 259 pounds as of this morning so that’s 46 pounds total since June 3rd. I am feeling so much smaller and its wonderful. I have absolutely no clothes that fit anymore. I am swimming in everything. Even my “skinny” size 24 jeans are way too big for me now. I think I am probably a 20-22 but haven’t really tried any clothes on yet. I hate to buy anything new right now since I know it will have a very short closet life. So I think I have gone from a size 26 to a size 22 or maybe even a 20 *MEEP* That is so exciting! I have been a size 24 for years and years so to drop below that is thrilling to me. 89 more pounds to go until I reach my goal and for the first time in my life I actually know I will do it. I have adopted Atkins as my diet for life. I am throwing myself into learning healthy new meals for my family. I am done being fat! Ok here’s a recipe for you, I love this as a night time snack or for breakfast in the morning. Pumpkin has a little bit more carbs than some other veggies but it is a great source of fiber! You might want to wait until you move into the veggie rung of owl before trying this recipe.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bowl
2 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup canned 100% pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
pinch of pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp sugar free davinci or torani syrup
Mix everything in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave for another 30 seconds. Eat 
It tastes a little like pumpkin cheesecake or pie filling. It is really a filling snack and highly recommended! One of my faves for sure!
