Hi everyone,
I have been overweight most of my adult life. The last time i was happy with my size was 6 years ago when I was at university when i weighed 13stone (I look at photos of me then and really want to look like that again) I never really used to eat properly at that time and thats why I lost so much weight.
Since I left uni I started my curent job as a computer operator and became inactive, sitting at my desk all day and just eating continually. Most of the staff there have gained weight due to food deliveries and high carb diets.
2 weeks ago I thought enough is enough so I bought the latest atkins book. I have been weight training for about 3 months and I really wanted to lose the fat.
I weighed 17st 3lbs when i started 14 days ago and by end of the first week I went down to 16st 4lbs which I was totally amazed at. This when I made the mistake of buying some scales (I had previously used my mums at her house!) Then I weighed myself every day and started to get depressed that they were not budging!
I then found this wonderful forum and read the threads on weight loss not being linear etc, so i stopped weighing myself! Anyway on the last day of the official 14days I had to weigh myself and yesterday I weighed 15st 13lbs which I think is fantastic 18lbs in 2 weeks. I am missing the diet coke and i suppose bread but apart from that its quite easy. I just hope i see continual progress. I am going to start measuring myself as a way to guage my losses from now on.
I always thought I would continue with induction for a long time but now i am not sure? What do you guys think? I can do it and do not find myself hungry or bored with it. I also see some great recipes and ideas on here that i will start this week. I have also started walking at night and will soon start jogging. I tried skipping but I ended up hurting myself down below if you see what i mean!
this forums great and i have sen some real success stories that inspire me!
cheers
Joe
