Default New UK Girl !

Hi All,

First of all - Thanks RichT for getting me here today

Started Atkins 15 days ago, okay so far - odd day where I would murder for a square of chocolate but didn't!

Also gave up smoking .............. still being good there as well - had to get on a diet as within a week of giving up had already put on 3lbs - oops! - well I do work in a shop with a bakery where we can actually eat and drink what we want! Very difficult - there is always chocolate and biscuits and cakes on display for tasting - dieters nightmare!

Had Major surgery last july so exercise is a bit of a problem - no running, jumping etc allowed so just walking really at the moment!

Luckily I do have this determination to succeed at whatever I do !

Having said that - done WW 3 times and back to square one + a bit more!!

Welcome UK Girl! Congrats on your 9lb loss so far!

You were terrific not letting yourself be lured by the beckoning chocolate... and, guess what? Resisting just gets easier and easier as you go along. Soon you won't miss those pesky carby foods at all.

Happy losing!

Thanks everyone for your welcome!

You all look great!

The best thing about this way of eating so far is that I don't get hungry in between meals - before I was just forever snacking on carbs.

I have high cholesterol and having it checked 17/4 so will see what has happened there!

Scooter - will check out the threads - Thank you.

Hi fellow UK person

Welcome to the board, the best place in the world to find Atkins support, tips, advice and recipes. If you ever have a question just ask! Someone will know the answer.

Looking 4ward to seeing you around on the boards. Definately check out Linda's lowcarb website for some fab recipes:
http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/index.html

Well done for the 9lbs, just keep up the good work resisting the temptations and you will see the rewards.
