Hello I'm amy, I'm 18 from London, England.
I started atkins a while ago after watching someone I know lose some weight very easily, but I never stuck to it properly. I guess that was my incentive.. how easy it seemed. I did a low cal high carb diet a while ago and did successfully lose a good amount of weight, but found the cravings very hard to ignore and eventually put back a little bit of weight (I blame the university way of life).

Anyway, my naive dream of desperately easy weight loss has passed and I've learnt to work hard for my diet and am sticking to atkins as a way of life not a quick fix.
I've been on Induction for a couple of weeks but am experiencing pretty slow weight loss (I think my downfall was the finding of Low Carb Rolos on sale in a health shop a week or two ago..its okay... I'm not eating them anymore before you recite me the 'rules of a clean induction' :P), although I am feeling a difference in the fitting of my clothes.

I must say I love this board and it has helped me through many meal ideas as well as lindas low carb recipe site. My flat mates are often amazed at the culinary adventures I cook up yet still haven't twigged I'm low-carbing it yet!! For support I have my lovely boyfriend of a year who often takes me out for burgers and chicken portions when I am desperate for a snack!!


Anyway, thanks for listening.
Amy

Hey there! Welcome to the board! I love that you see this is a way of eating for life! If I had the wisdom to grasp that at your age, I wouldn't be relosing the weight now!

You are young and wise, young Jedi!

Hello and welcome. I am glad you got rid of those Rolos. They are dangerous. I hope you love it here we do!

welcome to ADBB. so are you moving to OWL? I'm sure since you have been reading ADBB you know weight loss doesn't stop when you do.
What exercise challenge are you joining for some added motivation for the mandatory exercise part of Atkins?

Happy low carbing.

Welcome Amy. So glad you've finally introduced yourself and came out of lurking. The ADBB is a special place. You'll find so much support and encouragement here to continue your WOE. As Cleo said, it's terrific that you've realized that this is a life-style change and not a quick weight loss fad.

I'm so happy that your boyfriend is supporting you! I look forward to hearing about your success in future posts!
