I am feeling quite pleased with myself this morning. In 7 days I have managed to lose a whopping 8lbs!
I have only officially been following the Atkins induction strictly for the last 3 days but at the start of the week I did make a conscious effort to cut down on the carb filled foods which I knew about at the time.
My eyes have been really opened to find that I can't just eat low fat foods and a big plate of vegetables and expect to lose weight anymore. I've never once tried a diet in my whole life because I hate the feeling of being hungry. I just try and have a moderate lifestyle, which didn't work obviously!
The good news is that even on the Atkins induction I do not feel at all hungry. My energy levels feel great too and I am even able to face going to the gym again after work.
I've reached my first weight goal of 240lbs (see sig below) which is a great motivation to me. OK the next goal might be a little harder to reach but I owe it to myself to keep this up. Hopefully 2009 will see a new more streamlined me!
