2 weeks in and doing okay!
Hello.
I started Atkins 5/31/07 and have stuck to it with only 2 or so cheat meals (really just added a little ice cream - never cheated the whole day). I've never dieted before, well - never really tried. I'm very active in sports and never worried about my weight. HOWEVER-I guess I'm to the age (Just turned 2
where I can't eat anything I want and expect to maintain my weight, so here I am!
I graduated high school and college somewhere between 150-155 (I'm 5'10) and before starting Atkins 2 weeks ago weighed 178 and hated it! Well, it's been 2 weeks on induction (with a couple cheat foods) and am currently sitting at 170! I went through the worst headaches... I work for a beverage company and work with the energy drinks and have a unlimited supply of them... Getting off the dependency of those drinks was the most miserable thing I've ever done. Didn't think I would make it. It was at least- at least - a week before the headaches started going away! I haven't touched an energy drink since!!!! Even though we do make an energy drink with only 3 carbs… I'm sticking with water ONLY!
My goal is to get back to 155lbs. Now that I'm 2 weeks in, I don't miss eating the carbs very much. Last night my husband had chips with our hamburgers and then made chocolate chip cookies for himself and I wasn't much tempted to eat either. The only thing I'm starting to notice is that I'm not really hungry at all. I DO love the way I feel. I usually only go to my kickboxing class once a week, this week I made it 3 times!!!
I'm going to stick to around 20 carbs another week to see what happens then I'll probably move to the next stage. Thanks!!
