Fat Girl from London starts Atkins on April 1st

[KITTYKATZ]

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited 11lbs down, first week.....

My name is KittyKatz and I am really overweight and I mean really(please don't say obese or even grossly or morbidly obese), but I think I've found a friend in Atkins and of course ADBB!

I'm so excited by this eating plan, I'm enjoying the beef steaks, pork steaks, and fried chicken(not deep fried). Who knew I would love celery and cream cheese! and I can't seem to get enough mushrooms sauteed in butter. I just hope I can keep up with this initial weight loss(I know its mostly water).I've stocked up on fish for the 2nd week of induction-so I won't get too bored.

This forum is fantastic-its great to know I'm not alone!

Welcome to ADBB, it sounds like you're ready to get to work. Have you read the book? DANDR 2002 is the book we follow on this site.

Thanx for the welcome!

I have had the book since 2003, it's been sitting on my book shelf and I'd only ever flicked through it, never took it seriously. Until I checked out this site! I was on the verge of starting the Cambridge diet or Lighter Life but thought I needed to check out all the real food eating plans before I restricted myself to shakes, bars and soups!

So yes I'm a firm believer in DANDR 2002 and I can see I'll be on induction for the next few months!

Hi Lauri,

Good luck to u 2! I'm not the best of cooks, but I have been copying some of the recipes I've found on this site, like cauliflower mash, and rice with my protein. If I find something interesting I'll definitely share

Thank you! I have been reading some of your threads/replies to posts and you have been really helpful and inspiring. How long did you take to get to goal? Did you have any loose skin? That's one of greatest worries.
