It’s amazing what a little extra time and teeny tiny bit of talent can do. I hoping this starts a run of me video blogging on youtube. I don’t know why the world needs a low carb vblogger, but I know there might be some people who are interested from low carb cooking lessons to exercise recommendations. Now if I could only spell the “sight” correctly…
I am amazed at the response to the video. If anyone has suggestions for future videos or questions to be commented upon, I am certainly open to new ideas. I am no expert on all things low carb, but I will at least try to answer anything asked.
You are truly an inspiration! It really got me thinking “I can do this!!” Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us. Congratulations on your success.
Makes my 20lbs that I have been trying to get rid of seem silly.
I have a friend who will benefit from your video. He is 6ft and 300lbs.
I will forward it to him.
Thanks.

Thanks for all your positive comments. Like I said in my most recent post (http://www.network-admin.net/?p=391), I was inspired by a number of other big losers. I certainly hope I can provide a small measure of that inspiration to someone else as well.
[...] The reaction to my Atkins Diet Video has been nothing short of outstanding. What I hope this means is interest in low carb and specifically low carb informational videos is not waning. I know as an admin at Atkins Diet Bulletin Board (or ADBB for short) not a day goes by that we don’t have double digits of new people requesting membership, so contrary to the waning number of low carb products the number of low carb followers has been remaining steady for this year. In 3 days, my video has been seen almost 700 times. That fact is more probably due to the number of people looking for hope and that their own success is in the works than certainly anything I said or showed in my video. I was certainly inspired by a number of low carbers like IrishIrish and Papajack, who’s success convinced me I could too achieve what I set out. My goal was to help someone else achieve that same determination and self-confidence. [...]
Kent your story is a great one and I know you worked hard to achive this!
I just wanted to say you have given me the inspiration i needed to go back
on Atkins and to stay on it for life. I have RA and Fibromylagia and am now
on a medication that is working for me. I have had to walk with a quad cane
for 7 years now, unable to do any exercise. But now with the med i work out in
a rehab pool for people with Arthritis. I had strayed away from Atkins out of fear
i guess but with this new drug, I am now able to walk without the cane for the last month and now am cleared by my doc to do richard simmons low impact arobics. And now you have imspired me to go back to atkins and stay on it for the rest of my life. I have to lose about 110 lbs to be at my goal. I hope to be able to get there. Thank you for telling your story, it made me cry. Congrats Kent..Cheryl aka Kit~

That was such a good video,you must be so happy!It made me cry,I feel mad at myself for letting the past ten years go by being this heavy,after losing 50 lbs on overeater’s anonyomous grey sheet diet(pretty much same as atkins)and keeping it off 7 years through 2 pregnancies,but after getting saved and God giving me the ablity to give up smoking,I put on 60 lbs.So I’ve just gone through 4 days of induction flu(I thought I had food poisoning,I was so sick)and I feel so excited to feel better and to lose this weight!Thanks for your videos I am really inspired!
I know its a little belated, but congrats on your weight loss! That is incredible performance and you look like a completely different person (and I bet you feel like a different person).
And, thank you for your service in the National Guard. I am glad that you were able to re-enlist in it because of your weight loss. Keep up the awesome work!!

And thanks for the tips on induction, thought I had my first migrane in years today and then realized it might be the new eatting plan. Your insights really helped.
