Hi All....

Hi All,

My name is Sarah-Louise and i have just started the Atkins Diet!

Im on day four of Induction and just had a piece of white pudding! While i was googling it to find out if this was breaking the diet i found this site and decided what better way to do the diet then with support from other dieters who will be going through or have gone through what i am or will be over the next while!

I am from Dublin in Ireland and as you all know Potatoes are a huge staple in our Diets! Im a huge lover for bread and potatoes! i love my carbs but am determined this time to give them up for good!!

I currently weigh 200lbs and my goal weight is around 140lbs!! So im only on the road now, and with todays mistake i dont know how i stand!

White Pudding has traces of milk oatmeal and breadcrumbs blended with sausage meat!! So looks like im back to square one!! I had only a round circle piece which was around half an inch thick! But feel really demotivated now!!

Anyway im determined to do it!! So hope i can help anyone else and i can avail of help and support through all my fellow Atkinsers!!

Oh, us Celts and our tatties!

I'm on day TWO and drank a red bull without even thinking 'hey that has sugar in it' doh!

So you lasted twice as long as me!

Hiya Sarah
I'm on day 4 and a newbie to this Site too, although i've done Atkins a few times, and twice I had amazing results.. so i do know it works. My downfall is the alchohol.. there is nothing like a couple or more a night.. so over the years I kept doing it but still kept drinking all the carb free alchohol.. which obviously slowed my weight loss down considerably which got me frustrated then I stopped. So this time.. NO ALCHOHOL for me.. not till after induction and even then sparingly.. at least then if I know I've done it to the letter I can't complain.
Anyway.. sorry for the ramble. Good luck giving up the tatties (im in the uk), and constantly surrounded by junk... and cold weather doesn't help. but I keep focusing on the summer to come and getting into that size 12/10.....
Hugs and luffs

Re: Hi All....

Im totally the same, its freezing here and there is nothing i would like more then a bowl of stew with mash!!

Alcohol wont be a major issue for me just the potatoes!! You would think cutting them out would be relatively easy!! But nope not for me!! But i suppose diets are suposed to be difficult!!

Goodluck to you too and ill keep all posted on my loss..... IF ANY!!!!
