Determind to do it!!!!!!!
I started atkins last thursday after losing weight on a vlcd. I finished the first diet in december, did really well keeping it off, then come the new year I just went plain stupid and put on nearly a stone. After messing around trying to lose it again, flitting from vlcd to atkins and failing at both, I decided to give atkins one last push. This is the start.
I have found it very hard to get into the atkins way, as I am a huge carb addict, especially at more 'hormonal' times of the month, which seem to be getting worse the older I get. I get totally blown up with fluid retention and just general fatness.
Well, I have finally cracked it and no longer eat or crave carbs, but have not lost much weight, seem to be maintaining more than losing, think I need to be strict, but I do not have too much to lose, so maybe my body won't give it up so easily as it did on the vlcd.
I really enjoy reading all the posts on this forum, it helps me to focus. You are all such a great bunch of people, helping each other to acheive their goals, GREAT!
