    Back to Atkins

    A couple of years ago I tried Atkins and loved it and found it so easy. I lost 5 stone in 6 months, but then we went to Florida/Disney (I live in the UK) and had a carb binging 3 weeks. Once those dreaded carbs were back in my system I was back to cravings and binging and in 18 months later I have put on over 110 lbs!

    At over 300lbs and the largest clothes size you can buy in UK shops I've reached the point where I've got to do something.
    I've got a long way to go but I'm back now
