OK, so I started Atkins on 9th August 07.
I have a good 1st 3 weeks and then I stalled bit time.
A few weeks ago I lost a 1lb and then suddenly this last week or so the weight is really beginning to shift. Wa 177lbs a week or so ago and now 172!
I have now lost 16lbs since 9th August on Atkins and lost 7lbs on Weight Watchers before I started Atkins so a grand total of 23lbs.
I spent £300 ( $600 ) on myself last weekend on some new clothes and got into a UK size 14 trousers! Not bad as I was a UK size 18 when I started Atkins.
The only slight snag at the moment is lunchtime at work as although I managed to get a salad for lunch it has some pasta in it. I ate some of the pasta and hope it will not effect me too much. Oh and I also ate 2 biscuits today. [ / icon_redface. gif]
Well, if I suddenly stall I only have myself to blame.
Onwards and upwards.
Oh, I just finished my 1st week in my new job and feel really chuffed. [ / icon_smile. gif]

Hi, thanks and your are most welcome.
I dont know why we stall sometimes. It is so frustrating.
I have been very good since I ate those biscuits and actually went to the gym on Saturday.
The problem I am having at the moment is that I know I need to exercise but I am struggling to find the time at the moment. The problem is, is that I also need to be fit for my job but it is m new job that is stopping me going to the gym as I am so busy and when I get home in the evening I need to spend time with my family and then when they are in bed I have to study.
I think I am just going to have to say ' I am going to gym and everything else must wait '.
We must stay focused and positive and I guess except these obsticles which want to get in our way.
We must keep our eyes on the goal which is to be a slimmer, healthier, happier person and we must reward ourselves along the way to keep us motivated.
Lets keep on going at it.11 октября 2008 г.
