Hello from Liz_London

[Liz_london]

Hello everyone
Just like to introduce myself. Having tried all the diets and felt totally uncomfortable, well at least my stomach did, I decided to try it the Atkin way. Now, on the second week of induction, I am not feeling tired, no more constipated (thank goodness)! I didn't weigh myself until the second week, those of you who don't like to weigh will understand me but I braved it yesturday and would be quite happy to loose 13lbs to start, which will then bring me back into my clothes at a squeeze, then a further 1 stone would be really nice. I am not holding my breath but all I can say is that I will give this my best shot and would love to correspond with others. Bye for now. Liz

Hi Martylaine

Thanks for your reply, this looks like a great website to exchange ideas, and learn lots for information on something which makes us very happy - losing weight I decided to do something before I even went higher up in my clothes size, felt fine at size 14, didn't mind that, then just one size up has made me panic! That's because I know how easy it is to keep going up, up, and away!!!
This site looks such a friendly place and I'm really glad I joined.

Hi Sanya
Thanks! This is a great board, people are very friendly and motivating. So much information to read, can never get enough at the moment :0) Loved the video of fried chicken done with Parmesean cheese, paprika, onion salt...going to have a go today! Just need to buy some Flax Flour, I've never heard of it in England? Will be hunting around for it today back in the UK. Speak soon.
