    22lbs to lose. 26 year old guy. Starting 1st January. Come join me!

    Hi people,

    I'm a 26 year old guy from London, UK and am about to commence my second journey on Atkins.

    I lost a great deal of weight roughly 4 years ago on the WOE (65lbs). However, slowly, a few pounds have crept back on after a few too many cheats and generally living life to the full!

    I feel uncomfortable in my skin for the first time in a while and need to drop 22lbs to get to a weight I'm happy with (actually 5lbs under the lowest weight I've been.)

    I find this diet SO hard in the first 2 - 3 weeks. I feel irritable, deprived and down. I find it incredibly difficult to beat the cravings. After that it's fine, but I'm going to need some help from you lovely people, if you have the time.

    Who wants to join me?

    I've attached a recent picture (I've put on 7lbs since then) and a pic from a year ago with my best friend, at my slimmest. Not a massive difference, but I am certainly bulkier and I'm unhappy with what lurks under my clothes.

    See you all on the 1st!

    Hi. Yep also starting again Jan 1st. I know what you mean about the first few weeks - it is had to stop focusing on what you can no longer have and re-focus on the other great things you can have. I think you look great in your recent photo, so it shouldn't be too long before you are feeling more comfortable. Good luck, I'm along for the ride with you! Let us know how you are going.

        Hi welcome and good luck. You had a lot of success the first time so I know, that you know, what to do. Have you thought about starting a journal to track your progress?

                          So, I did my first day today! Not feeling the withdrawals yet, it all seemed rather easy. I'm sure all that will change over the next day or two as I start climbing the walls. Had a beef salad for lunch, prawn salad for dinner. Some pork rinds and sugar free jelly (jello) with some cream for snack and dessert. Used some mayo for the salads, as well as some hollandaise (but not too much, just a tablespoon).

                          All went well and I'm exicted to be on the ladder. Expect some whinging posts and need for motivation as time moves along.

                          Thanks for all your welcome messages! x
