Hi All
I'm Sue from the UK, 50 yrs old and back on the Atkins woe. I first started this way of eating in March 2006 and lost 37lbs over the next 18 months. A blood test showed that my cholesterol levels were up so I decided to try a low cal eating plan from Sept 08. Over Christmas and then a holiday in Feb this year I gained almost a stone and felt lethargic and generally bluuuurgh (however you spell it !)
So now here I am back on track and feeling good. I lost 5lbs over the past week or so but now have put on 2lbs despite being on the plan. I think that I am eating in the way that I was at the end of my last attempt i.e. including berries, nuts, yoghurt etc and so have decided to go right back to scratch and do induction again.
I know from experience that I need to have variety and so I'm a vulture for new recipes and ideas for meals. I'm good at planning meals and cooking to ensure that I have something good to look forward to at mealtimes - crustless quiches are a staple for lunch times for me. So I'll be looking around the forum for interesting new ideas and hope to share some of mine as well.
I look forward to sharing my new experience with you all and reading about yours too.
Wish me luck!!!!
Sue
