Hi
My name is Cathryn and I am 30 Years old. I live in Newcastle upon tyne in the UK and this is the second time I have tried the atkins Diet only this time I intend to succeed.
I had a baby daughter 13 weeks ago and it has made me realise how unhappy I am about the way I look and feel. I suffered severe water retention when pregnant and as a result I was unable to wear any jewellery for the last 4 months. I still can't wear my rings and this became a turning point for me. I am determined this time to lose 5 stone - 70lbs (not all gained during my pragnancy, only 14 lbs were), so that when my daughter is a toddler, Mummy will be able to play with her in the park rather than sitting and watching her.
I hope I can pop on here when I need support as I have found the before and after pictures a huge inspiration. My partner is very supportive of me.
Thak you in advance.
Cathryn x

Welcome Cathrine! I'm on day 5 and I know you can do this. You'll have so much more energy right away. Are you breastfeeding your little one? If so you may want to check out details at the forum for that. But I wanted to say WOW, for starting so soon after baby. My daughter is 18 mo. and I'm just now starting...so yay for you. Keep it up and let me know if you need any support!

Congrats and welcome! I actually tried another plan right after my son was born and failed so bad! So after a year of failure I decided to switch to Atkins and on my first week I am seeing better results than ever before yeah! I wish I had started this sooner because my little one is wearing me out LOL! Welcome!!!
