    UK Newbie, ready for weight loss!

    Hello all!

    I have tried Atkins in the past, but always gave into temptations....usually whilst away for the weekend or on holiday. This year i have bought my first house so no holidays for me....so no temptations, and plenty of house renovations to do to keep me fit!
    AIMS:
    At my heaviest i was around 260 lbs, i am currently 206 lbs and my goal weight is around 150 lbs.
    I would love to feel comfortable in a swimsuit and to not feel like the biggest person in the room.
    My partner and i would love to try for a baby by the end of this year and i am insistant that i want to be at target before we start a family.
    UK Size 12 clothing and just to feel comfortable in my clothes.

    I look forward to meeting you all online and i hope you dont mind me picking your brains with questions and queries?

      Welcome to ADBB, Coralie. You can pick my brain anytime. It helps me stay focused and on track, as time goes by.

      Have you got yourself a copy of DANDR 2002 edition to get you off to the right start?

      To build a good house one first needs a good foundation, or the house will soon fall apart.

            Hi Coralie

            Welcome - if you really really do it 100% you'll be in that bathing suit for the summer!!

            This is the only diet I can manage to do without wanting to cheat!!

            Why dont you join us on the bikini challenge?? It may help if you have to post your daily activities - I know it really helps me

            Good luck on induction
