Hello folks

[Skin]

Hi guys and gals.
Im allan,aged 26 and im from scotland.
I started atkins 2 and a half weeks ago on recommendation from my cousin and ive dropped from 14st 7 to 13 stone 5 in that time!!.
Its starting to slow down a little now which is rather annoying but il try and stick in there.
My goal is to reach 12.5 st which is normal for my height,Any advice?
Look forward to chatting with you all

Hello Allan and welcome to ADBB.

Sounds like you're off to an amazing start. Congrats! Don't worry about things slowing down, that's natural and the nearer you get to goal the slower weight loss goes. Also, the first weight loss surge is mainly water weight.
If you eat low carb, drink masses of water and exercise some... then the weight will melt away for sure. But it's direction rather than speed that's important. You'll get there!

Happy low carbing!

Hi Allan!

Stick in there with the slow down, it's better for your body not to go too quick! Sounds like I began at about the same time as you and am seeing the same reaction but, ultimately, a slower loss is good, we'll keep it off easier!! Keep strong!

Hi Allan! Welcome to the board! It's great that you have someone for support in eating this way! Slow and steady is the way to go!
