Im New!!!

[Juicylucy]

Hi im a 33 year old housewife from London, uk...This is my second attempt at Atkins....I have Just had enough of being this size, I weight 224 pounds approx (have not weighed myself for a while but i know im around that)...i will get back with actual figures soon...lol...i look forward to stepping on those scales!!!
This is my second day of starting and felt awful last night but seem a little better today, although i hate the evening drawing in because that is where i seem to struggle...
Anyway, as i said, im 33, my weaknesses are junk food...all types! You name it i luv it...beer...which i luv too, and basically being lazy and not doing much to help myself...
So as from Monday i thought i would try Atkins again, i only did the 2 weeks last time and didnt loose much, but i dont think i was doing it properly, so im going to really give it my all this time..my eating has been good and drinking loads of water...(living in the loo) and the bad breath is already on its way, so im hoping this is the start...
Im going to go for a long walk with the dog later to get my fat burning butt on the move!!!
Anyway just thought id introduce my self...and look forward to chatting to other atkiners and hoping people will help me stay on the right track!!!

Re: Im New!!!

Hi nice to meet you Juicylucy. Hope you guys have a good fall in London. I spent a fall in London years ago and I loved it - was not too rainy and very beautiful. I think doing it by the book is a key. It is one of the reason I like Atkins - everything is spelled out and I like that kind of order. Good luck to you.

Hi Juicy Lucy,
I love your screen name. Welcome aboard. We are both on our second start on Atkins and coincidentally we both started on the same day. I have confidence in you! This time it is a WOL! Congratulations on joining the board.

Hi Juicy (soon to be Lean) lucy,
We are cooling off a bit in America's heartland after a weekend of record rainfall. The rivers are overflowing and many schools are closed. Those darned hurricanes just keep on coming. Anyway, the weather is looking up for the next fews days. Sunshine and cool. I just Love the Fall weather and changing leaves in America's midwest!

I hear what you are saying about rough nights during induction. Last night I was pretty hungry after my homemade taco salad dinner. I ultimately ate a sugar free cherry jello cup which... I think is allowed on Atkins. Anyway, I managed to consume 64 oz of water over the course of the day yesterday which helped me a lot. I didn't drink copious amounts of water when I was on Atkins the last time and now I know better.

Unfortunately, I cannot comment your achy bones other than to say that my whole body aches from my new weight lifting and stair climbing routine. Hang in there and chug lots of water. Hope you feel better tonight.
