She Lost 50 Pounds in Three Months Cutting Carbs on Atkins
3 min read · RealCase summary
Cheryl Lynn Wolf, a Florida resident, was named Atkins Nutritionals' first Success Story Superstar Grand Prize Winner in October 2011, chosen from hundreds of entries for detailing how she lost 50 pounds in three months using Atkins' free online tools and products.
'The numbers on the scale don't lie, and when mine said 180 pounds I had to face reality,' Wolf said. She credited the plan with letting her lose weight without giving up the foods she liked: 'Atkins allowed me to lose weight without sacrificing my joy of eating. On Atkins, I feel full and am able to enjoy the foods I love.'
As grand prize winner, Wolf and a guest received an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles, including a photo shoot with Atkins spokesperson Courtney Thorne-Smith, a two-night stay at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons, a low-carb dinner at Spago Beverly Hills, and a $5,000 shopping spree. Her story ran on the Atkins.com homepage starting October 14, 2011, alongside the program's other Success Story Superstar entrants that year: runner-up Lisa Marie Schadl of Iowa, who lost 108 pounds, and earlier round winner Meghan Cook of Indiana, who lost 82 pounds.
