Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Hello and welcome. Posting progress on here helps me a keep in line. Thats GREAT that you drink that much water already so that should not be an issue with you. Keep up the good work. It may be a challenge to give up the beer for a little while tho. but you can do it.

Speedy hiya ..and thanks for the message .. drinking water is OK up to a point but I need taste from time to time too ..any suggestions?
The beer has proved easier than I thought .. but so far 5 full days into it I haven't had one yet .. roll on late August or whenever it is I can have one.

DOH! Would you believe they turned several of our local convenience stores into Kwiki Marts? Yes, it's true. This is the city I live in.

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

A quick ketostick check means I've advanced up the colour scale .. I'm now one shade away from deep purple .. and I don't mean the English 70's heavy rockers. I've lost 6lbs in 8 days .. so I'm feeling pretty smug!

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Woo Hoo! Be as smug as you like, 6 Lbs in 8 days is terrific!
