  • Introducing Rools, newbie on the block

    Hello Everyone

    I am Rools, I am 29 (nearly 30!) and Atkins has been the only way I have ever been able to lose weight. I lost about 17 pounds this time last year, and it's crept back on again recently. I am turning 30, have lots of lovely places to go, and have had a spinal fusion which means I have constant back pain, and the consultant said 'lose weight it will help'. So here I am!

    I have been doing induction for the past 7 days, and have lost 7lbs! I am hoping for a few more this week and am sticking to it religiously. I am drinking LOTS of water,and trying not to drink diet coke (I love diet coke, it makes me happy).

    I weighed in last Sunday at 13 stone 5lbs 187lbs
    I weighed in this morning at 12 stone 12 lbs 180lbs


    I have a mini goal of 20 Ocotber of 12 stone 4, then another for 2nd Nov of 12 stone, then onwards and upwards to perhaps, 11.5 stone by Christmas (161 lbs) with an ultimate goal of 11 stone (154)

    Wish me luck! I find forums a great support, and the other one I used seems to have gone very quiet. There seems to be lots of UK people here too! Wish me luck!

    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!

              Hiya Rools... welcome aboard and congrats on your losses so far! You'll be happy here, I'm sure. It's a great place for friendly encouragement and advice.

              Weight loss will help your back pain. I have two slipped discs and have had back pain for years and years. It's lessened considerably since I lost weight. I think the exercise I now do helps too, particularly the stretching at the end of my workout.

              Ask anything you want. There are always people around to give their input.
              Happy losing!
              Before and after:
