My first posting on here - day 3 of atkins

[13_jane]

Hi to you all, this is my first posting!! and hopefully the start of a new me!!

I live in Cheshire, UK and have about 30-40 lbs to lose. I'm 188 and would like to get down to between 148-154 lbs - my rails of clothes will fit me then!!! We've been 2 years building a house and moved in with my parents whilst we did it - hence beautiful cooked meals everyday, but unfortunatley not so good on my waistline!!

I'm on day 3 of atkins - and not had any cravings so far!

All your stories and postings are very inspiring - I just hope I'll have a success story to post one day!!!

I'll keep you all posted on my induction

keep up the good work everyone

You'll love this place! I sure do!!! I find it amazing in the way that if I have a thought ... a question or anything in general, there's normally someone who's posted and is going through or has gone through the same thing as I am. I do wish I had a face-to-face Atkins support group in my area in order to have people to exersize and socialize with but ... in lieu of that ... this is a MEGA SUPER PLACE to be!!!

Good luck to you and ... You can do it!!!

Thanks rich,

It looks like the atkins way of eating has worked rather well on you - you look like a completely different person - well done

did you do excercise also?

Thanks, I feel like a completely different person.

With regards to the excercise, yes I do. I go to my local sports centre on average 6 days a week. Be it gym, squash or any other activity.

You cant really do Atkins if you dont excercise. Are you not keen on excercise then?

I dont suppose shopping classes as exercise does it?? if it does - then I do it 7 days a week already!! lol!

I dont mind doing exercise!!! I did a half marathon last year - but that was just power walking, but I still got quite fit practicing for it! I've joined the local gym, but I'm still on the "I'll go tomorrow" attitidue, which never happens!! I think I'll try and go over the weekend - even if its just for a sit in the sauna - or swim a few lengths!!

I'd walk the dog - but she wont walk!!!! She'd rather go out for a ride in the car!!! Strange dog!!

Welcome Jane. Sounds like you have the right attitude to find success on Atkins. Cheating is overated. Just keep in mind that staying clean on induction is very important, you want your body to slide gleefully into ketosis
and stay there.

I'm like your pup, I'd prefer to be carried too, but thats not good for my Atkins.

Hi Tabekat

Thank you for your welcome!

I've been out today and spent a fortune on "good" food - nothing naughty went in my trolley - it helps me keep on the straight and narrow if there's nothing to tempt me in my fridge!! I did look longingly at the cream cakes - but never even touched the boxes!!! lol!!

I havent checked my ketosis - I have some sticks, so I might have a go later - hopefully it will be pink!!!

Your figures look very impressive - over 40lbs lost - that is amazing!! Hopefully mine might look like that some day!!!

Hi Jane, and welcome I hope that when you begin to see some weight loss, it will help inspire you to exercise more! Perhaps if you join a class at the gym, you will have a time that you HAVE to go KWIM? GL on your journey
