  • Hello from MANCHESTER!!

    I've been on the site all day (instead of working ) and i didn't see this place to introduce myself. . .

    So here goes. . .

    I'm back on Atkins after falling off the wagon for a few months and the pounds creeping back on. More importantly though i actually felt my energy levels drop dramatically while i was eating sugars and refined foods. So i'm back on Induction to shed a few pounds and get back to the way i felt before.

    Indecently - i have also decided to give up the Caffeine and Nicotine at the same time. . . i'm 3 days in and the headaches and fatigue is killing me. And did i mention the insomnia?? :yikes

    I found this site last time i was on Atkins and it was a great help, all the questions the book doesn't answer and hearing everyone going through the same gives you that added push when you feeling bad.....

    Right i look forward to spending much more time on here particularly during induction

    Welcome Chrissy,

    As you've stated ("been here all day"), you can obviously see how great this place is. It is an awesome motivator.

    Keep up the good work!

      welcome to the board wow a double induction cigs and carbs wow. I know you are going through a tough withdrawal time. one of our early mods did that and posted she was so bad she didn't even want to be around herself.



      I wish you much success with your actions. Happy low carbing.

          My theroy i think was right, if i get over all my withdrawals at the same time it will be more efficeient. . . . I had three days of feeling like pooh now i feel great. Still taking the paracetamol for the headache but i'm sure that will disappear by tomorrow.

          bambinaUK - You look GREAT :joy

            Hiya Chrissie.

            I live not far from Manchester (Alsagar), and I have been on induction since January 3rd. I gave up smoking about 6 months ago, never thinking I would pile the weight on. :sadblinky
            Maybe we can hold each others hands through the next few months :joy

            I hope you do well and congratulations having the courage to kill all your vices in one go.

              I am so glad that there are so many of "us" Brits here now. I used to feel terribly outnumbered :guns

              It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




              I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!
