Atkins with one eye on the calories!

[Wrinkly]

Congratulations Fit4forty, that is wonderful. My weight loss is dead slow & stop so I am watching the calories now too.

Welcome and congrats fit4forty! It does seem to be working for me, though I am a bit fed up of counting! :sigh2:

PennyJane, what were your measurements like? Did they stay the same too?

 

[Jim]

Hi, welcome and a big well done, that's a great start!

 

[fit4forty]

Thanks for the welcome,guys. You are all inspirational. Can any of you tell me if your mood changed much on Induction coz I am ready to murder hubby. I don't normally have the urge to but I could quite readily punch his lights out. Any thoughts?

 

[morenachica]

haha fit, I often feel that way before doing atkins with my loved ones. but I'm sure doing the induction and not having a lot of carbs can make you a bit more irritable.

I think my missus is like that most of the time, and she isn't on any diet.

 

[Laineyx]

Yes...Induction feels like totm mood.....lasts about a week or so, but i felt crappy with headaches etc for the first 3 weeks. I am now into week 6 and feel normal again, lots of energy too.

 

[Wrinkly]

I was lucky, I had a slight headache on day three.

Hello

Back after a hectic couple of days. Must admit I had a burger-and-fries flavour slip up last night, but managed to get back on the wagon today! Pleased in a way as I usually splurge then think f*ck it and fire into the crisps / sweets etc, but I didn't do it this time!

Also had my physio appointment about recurring cramps in my feet - was really good and have lots of exercises to do! It turns out my 'core stability' is rubbish which may be causing it - so lots of Pilates and trying to stand on one leg for me!

 

[Jim]

Core stability? that's a new one on me, is this about balance hooya?

 

[British_Claire_84]

I think it is yes Jim. I also got told by my osteopath that i need to work on my core stability. He asked me to improve the strength n balance in my ankles (have knackered them loads over the years) by standing on one of those wobble board things. Round with a point in the middle so you have to have balance to keep standing on it.

 

[Jim]

Oh right, ah well, I must be OK, I only fall over when I'm drunk.

 

[British_Claire_84]

I can quite easily turn my ankles over whilst wearing flat shoes walking down a flat street! There's no way on this earth i will ever be able to wear let alone walk in heels!

 

[Jim]

I never could see how you girls could walk in heels. I like the effect though

 

[British_Claire_84]

I can't So don't have the 'effect' lol..

 

[Jim]

LMAO!

 

[British_Claire_84]

My bruises from friday night are slowly coming out in full flourish Laura! I've got no idea how or where i got them.. LOL.. I would blame the years of wearing work boots on the lack of being able to wear heels but i think that's only partly to blame. I think i'm just rubbish.

 

[Jim]

LOL @ both of you.

 

[Hooya]

LOL I fall over all the time, and I'm teetotal! I usually have at least one massive bruise on my legs, people must think my OH is abusing me

Apparently lack of core stability can cause all sorts of problems, including going over on your ankles and possibly the nasty cramps I get in my feet... I went to one Pilates class, gosh it is dull but guess I'll have to stick at it!

 

[Jim]

Jeez, another one. LMAO.
