Hiya people, I just joined. I feel totally down. I weight 17 stone and am 5ft 5. I was 18 stone once, and got down to 16 on Atkins, and managed easily to regain the stone once I started eating carbs.
I've flirted with Atkins on and off, mainly for maintenance of the 17
I started two weeks ago today with an app on my phone to count calories. I've been really good, and only eaten 1200 per day. I had one Saturday when I hit the wine big time ( wine was probably my greatest problem - two bottles per night and more at weekends).
Anyways, in the last two weeks I've cut from two bottles a night, to one glass a night - mostly. Some none, and once 2, other than last Saturday.
Guess what I have lost?
Not a single llb :cry::cry::cry:
I don't want to go back to Atkins, as it is so limiting, but am wondering if my body has got so used to no carbs, I will find it hard to diet normally?
Also, I was riding my bike 8 miles twice a week, but have an injury which needs surgery, so can't do that, or anything strenuous for now :cry::cry::cry:
Please tell me that sometimes you don't lose in three weeks and then lose loads?!?!
