Subject: RE: BS: 76lbs, Dr. Atkins, congrats
I recommend the low-alcohol diet. :>)

I've given up drinking alcohol & have lost 1.5 stone since starting to stop(I've had a few backslidings along the way).
Giving up the alcohol means I have less high-calorie late night snacks & hangover brekkies + I'm avoiding all the calories that were in the alcohol.
It has also improved my general health no end - but that, I think, is because I was developing an intolerance to alcohol that was causing all sorts of nasty things.
So the moral of my tail is ......... identify the thing that is making you ill/fat, then cut out that factor. For me its the alcohol - for someone else it could be dairy foods... etc etc

And don't forget to drink lots & lots of water to wash away the toxins.

ANYWAY - MORE IMPORTANTLY:

Well done whatsername that has lost the 76lb. I bet you're feeling great! - and well done all the other posters that are enjoying weight loss & improved health.
Not that there's anything inherently wrong in being a bit porky.......... :>)
