Hie all! I am new to atkins, but not new to minimins. Av come over from Exante, where I lost 91lbs and it was ok, then I got ill. Am a lot better now so I started atkins last Tuesday and was disappointed at 1st that I wasnt losing weight till I realised that its coz I have been calorie counting (1290 cals/day) and really hadn`t had junk in quite a while. Anyways this morning after jumping on the scales I can safely say am 4lbs lighter . So am making it official am doing the Atkins diet now (yay!).
I am still waiting for my "orange" atkins book from play.com that I ordered 2 weeks ago . However, av been reading "Atkins made easy , the 1st 2 weeks" and also using this forum and net. I also tried a "MIM" lol. I`ll set up a diary though am not a diary person . My OH is so happy for me coz he says am alive again, coz my multiple restarts on Exante were leaving me so frustrated and it wasn`t healthy for me, him or kids. Oh yeah am 31, have 2 kids (8yo and 20 mnts) and partner of 11 years. My 8 year old son is autistic. Somehow I got depressed at some point about it and it contributed to my weight gain, though I was never slim . I feel so happy and proud of what I have acheived on Exante and I love myself enough to admit that I don`t have it in me to do it anytime soon. So after my "research" I know atkins works and though I may not lose at a fast rate like VLCDs I can live with that .
