Hi all!!
I've been away for a few months - I had joined my husband on Slimming World (in solidarity... ) and while it wasn't a horrible experience, it wasn't a terribly productive one!
We were doing the Extra Easy plan, which sounds simple enough. My husband refused to give up fruit, so rather than join me on Atkins, I joined him on this. I honestly think that it's a fairly good way to eat as a maintenence, but I haven't lost a pound on it. Mind you, I travelled to Canada for two weeks, haven't been careful at all this summer (using lots of syns...) and I'm still at 178. He's lost 20 pounds in about 6 weeks, with no added exercise, and is happy to stay on it as it's easier for his travelling schedule with his work.
But it's time to get serious again, and I'm coming back to what works for me. I'm about 2 stone from my goal, and I just started a ballet class last week (how's that for motivation... standing in a room full of mirrors!) and am very excited about finding my new body under here somewhere! Plus, we're going on a cruise in two months time, and I'd so love to be closer to my goal weight then. It's really something concrete to work towards.
So am having a few carby treats this weekend as a "send off" but then it's back to LC eating on Monday. I'm actually looking forward to it!
See you all in the cheese aisle!
