On a mission for boobs!
Hello! I've mainly been lurking around on the Atkins forum, so hello to all you lovelies I havent met yet! *waves*
Ok, so short version... Tried atkins about 9 years ago and lost 2 dress sizes in a month, fell off and gained it all back and more over the next few years. I lost 5 stone about 3 years back after a bad break-up (best weight-loss method I've ever came accross! lol) and since then I tried atkins again last year, and I lost about 16lbs in 3 months - which I was quite happy with. Then came christmas! By February I'd re-gained it all bar 1lb! :sigh:
So, I started Atkins again, managed to lose 10lbs but lost and gained the same 2lbs for about 3 months. So I binged for the whole month of July. Re-started Atkins clean and green last week and I've not lost a thing.
I need a change of diet - my body isnt playing anymore.
I've been looking at Dukan, but because its also low carb, I'm not sure if it would be any better? I also briefly glanced over harcombe, but didnt read too much into it.
I've been looking at the Cambridge Diet but have no idea how expensive, or hard, that would be (I live with a stick thin junk food addict of a bf!).
Ranch has sent me information on the rotation diet which I've been reading over today.
As you can see, I've no idea where to go next. I do know that weight watchers and scottish slimmers are of no interest to me. I cant stand the thought of having to count points/checks! And I work with 3 women who do these diets and they never stick to them. One woman does stick rigourously to 1000cals a day, and counts every little bit - she loses things like "a quarter of a pound" and that just doesnt do it for me. Starvatio for a quarter of a pound. Sounds mean.
Sorry for my ramble. Just really stuck and looking for some advice. I need to lose about 4/5 stones - all suggestions welcome!
