Enough is enough. This last 20lbs is going...

[stmcalee01]

Have lost nearly 3stone since my Daughter was born and would really like to be rid of the last stone and a half.

I am so very sick of dieting. I want to eat well and feel better as well as lose weight.

Today is my third day and I am starting in OWL. Getting a crash course in atkins eating tonight from two friends who has amazing success with this WOE.

So starting weight was 12st 8lbs. Will see what a difference a week makes.

Good luck to you but dont be impatient, Atkins is a fickle diet. You will lose one week and not the next. Just keep off the scales.

Not been hungry at all today.

No apetite for dinner though. Is this normal?

Yup, ketosis takes away appetite. Try and have a little something if you can though.

[stmcalee01]

Thank you.

I am planning out my menus for the next couple of days. I still can't believe I get to eat like this! I'm going to make Italian Hunter' s stew ans get out my River Cottage Veg book.

Still adjusting and making the odd mistake but I am trying to get it right.

I think lunches will be my biggest challenge especially in Sept when I start my new job and lunch os provided so no real choice. That said if I lose 1lbs a week then I'll be at goal by then.
