Hello from Liz_London

[Liz_london]

Hello everyone
Just like to introduce myself. Having tried all the diets and felt totally uncomfortable, well at least my stomach did, I decided to try it the Atkin way. Now, on the second week of induction, I am not feeling tired, no more constipated (thank goodness)! I didn't weigh myself until the second week, those of you who don't like to weigh will understand me but I braved it yesturday and would be quite happy to loose 13lbs to start, which will then bring me back into my clothes at a squeeze, then a further 1 stone would be really nice. I am not holding my breath but all I can say is that I will give this my best shot and would love to correspond with others. Bye for now. Liz

Hi Martylaine

Thanks for your reply, this looks like a great website to exchange ideas, and learn lots for information on something which makes us very happy - losing weight I decided to do something before I even went higher up in my clothes size, felt fine at size 14, didn't mind that, then just one size up has made me panic! That's because I know how easy it is to keep going up, up, and away!!!
This site looks such a friendly place and I'm really glad I joined.
Liz

Hi Sanya
Thanks! This is a great board, people are very friendly and motivating. So much information to read, can never get enough at the moment :0) Loved the video of fried chicken done with Parmesean cheese, paprika, onion salt...going to have a go today! Just need to buy some Flax Flour, I've never heard of it in England? Will be hunting around for it today back in the UK. Speak soon.

Flaxseed is called "linseed" in the UK I believe. You'll probably find it sold as seeds (which you need to grind) or ready ground (flour).

Re: Hello from Liz_London

Liz - they sell the linseed in Holland and Barratt health shops - they sell it in little bags and going up to big bags! so you can just try it with a little bag to see if it "works"!! hehe!!
