So i'll share the highs (hopefully not too many lows!! but hey i'll share them with ya too) and good to read your progress too xxxxxxxxx

Hi Getting there

Atkins is fab... I haven't once felt hungry & I do feel like I am in complete control of food rather than food being in control of me for once!

Hope you enjoy it as much as me... when are you starting?

ditzeeblonde · 7th July, 2008

Still struggling to deal with the fact my weight hasn't moved for over a week!
Still got ToTM so thats not helping at all!!!!

Went onto an Atkins forum & maybe I'm eating too much processed foods, ham, pepperami, babybel... so need to re-think my snacks etc as I maybe be holding onto water weight thru the sodium!

I am finding breakfasts a struggle as I just don't fancy eggs, meat, fish or cheese for breakfast... am going to order some low carb shakes so I can have one for breakfast.

Just a bit confused as to wether its ToTM thats doing this or something else... didn't expect to stall so early on!

Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!

Hang on in there DB - have you taken any measurements??

buffydog · 7th July, 2008

Hi,
I found that the flaxseed caused me to stall, i`ve also heard the shakes do the same thing to some people.
try omitting 1 food from your diet for a few days, just to make sure it`s not something like this.
Hope it starts dropping for you soon....

ditzeeblonde · 7th July, 2008

I've lost 4 inches since the beginning of june from my waist.

Haven't had any flaxseed yet was gonna try some of your marvellous recipes tho!

Only had maybe 3 shakes within the week so would that really have an effect?

buffydog · 7th July, 2008

If you`ve lost inches then just give the weight time to catch up......
I read some where about some one on Atkins who didn`t lose anything for 2 weeks then in 1 day she lost 6lb??????????

ditzeeblonde · 7th July, 2008

Really??

I guess its just you get so used to losing & that usually its the first couple of weeks that you see major losses.
I know this is right for me so I just need to stay focused & not make the scales dictate how I feel... easy to say just need to put it into practice!!

Thank you.x

ditzeeblonde · 7th July, 2008

Oh cr*p had a bit of a carb fest this afternoon... didn't taste nice, didn't make me feel any better, just made me really hacked off with myself & given myself a headache!

So I am guzzling the water... planned my day for tomorrow foodwise & to include sometime on my rebounder. I have also ordered some low carb shakes & sero bars so that the next time I want something I'm gonna make damn sure its low carb!!!

I'm still in the early days of learning how to adapt to this WoE & I think I shall weigh in monthly so that I don't become obsessed with what the scales say!

I've ordered fresh fish, meat & veggies from sainsburys with the flaxseed needed for some recipes & see if not eating some of the processed snacks helps!

ditzeeblonde · 12th July, 2008

Its been one week since I stopped stepping onto the scales everyday & its been fantastic! Doing Atkins means I feel like I'm not on a diet & not scale hopping too... well its the first time I feel really liberated about my food, my weight & being in control!!

Flaxseed muffins for breakfast with cream cheese are just fantastic (thanks buffydog for the recipe)!

Measured myself again & over all I have lost a whopping 6 inches from my arms, hips, waist & thighs since last week! One very very happy girl!!

ditzeeblonde · 12th July, 2008

Had some fun playing with the kids today when it struck me that this is the best that I have felt in a LONG time & that even if I didn't lose weight on Atkins its great to just feel so good & not have to worry about food or get cravings.... losing weight will just be a bonus!

DQ · 12th July, 2008

A mega non-scale victory

ditzeeblonde · 15th July, 2008

I've had really bad headcahes the past few days... bit like my first week on induction which has been a real pain (literally) maybe b'coz the weathers so close!

Haven't strayed at all in fact some days I've been at about 12g of carbs... could this explain the headaches?

I'm looking forward to my weigh in on the 31st as I feel like I've lost weight... would like to have it confirmed tho!
Have got a girls night out on friday which will be quite a boozy affair! Planning on drinking vodka & slimliine tonics & sticking to the allowed foods... will have to watch the cravings after a few drinks! I know it'll slow my weight down as I'll burn the alcohol off first! At least I'll know why I'll have a headache on saturday!!!!!

buffydog · 15th July, 2008

well done on sticking with it.
headaches can be caused by not drinking enough water, how much are you drinking?

ditzeeblonde · 15th July, 2008

I've not had as much as usual... been drinking 3 litres a day where I can usually hit 5 on a good day. Maybe I'll up it tomorrow & see if that makes a difference?
Thank you.x
