    Im really excited to have found this place!

    Hello! im Mobius Im a 28 year old mother of two, wife of one and feeder of one shihtzu. Im currently 64kilos, and at 4ft 11 inches that is about 10 kilos (r 20 lbs)too heavy for me.

    BUT!!! All that is about to change, Im starting day one of induction in 12 hours time

    Ive got three of the Atkins books here and Ive been chewing through them and digesting it all as best I can. I come from a terrible history of the most rediculous dieting dramas you can imagine, none of them im particularly proud of, but thats history and today is all about bein excited about my new journey

    I have had a few half hearted attempts at low carb before but this is the first time Ive been really serious about it. I know it works well for my body, even in only a week I had seen results. Im hoping that this time my husband will join me, he is very lean and fit, great motivation, great cause of frustration and self loathing too at times (terrible feeling like a fat useless blob when you live with superman!)


    SO, yeh if anyoneis looking for a pityful soul to adopt and montor Id be really appreciative of all help and support! Id love anyone to contact me either via pm, or even email at emilyeatsworms@hotmail.com

    see you guys around!

                    Wow! I hadn't noticed your email addy until Silly mentioned it! Too funny. Reminds me of that diet doctor in... ummm... maybe it was Egypt, not sure... who made a fortune, many years ago, giving out diet pills that really worked fantastically well. Enormous success rate.
                    All was fine (for him) until they discovered that he was giving his patients worms!!!

                    No wonder they lost weight!

                    Sorry for going off at a tangent.

                      Re: Im really excited to have found this place!

                      oh guys....how tragic is THIS!?

                      I had had a really great day 2, or so I thought until I just looked up the dinner i had My total carbs for the entire day would have been 6.8g....except that I had a coleslaw which I just discovered had 34g of carb in it!
                      I could have had a brilliant day, but with that one food choice im guessing im back at day 1 tomorrow

                      Ahh well, tomorrow is a new day, and I can learn from this instead of letting it be an excuse to throw my hands in the air and claim defeat


                      *grumble*



                      thanks so much for the very kind welcome guys! This forum is rapidly turning into my favorite sanctuary!

                      *shares worms with all*

                        Don't feel bad...we've all been hit by surprise carbs...I almost died after finding out that the innocent cooler I just had contained over 40 carbs... Let me tell you I haven't touched one since!
