[sophia]

Hi all,

I came on looking for inspiration a while ago but i got totally and utterly distracted just too many changes and different things going on in my life but things are starting to settle and ive been taking a good look at myself in the mirror!!, and boy oh boy im not a happy bunny,,

ive got more changes coming up i start uni in september and i really dont want to feel like a hippo in a uniform that is tight and scratcy, i want to feel comfortable with myself..also we might be going away in july plus ive started to learn to salsa and im puffed out!! salsa is hard work.

i have got many reasons to lose weight and feel happy its all there for me to see plainly..

so ive got to re read my atkins book and pull off as much info from this site as i can..you are all so honest and helpful, its very refrreshing..

I have limited budget, if anyone has done this on a tight budget i would very much like to hear from you..

Also menu planners, ive seen this somewhere, i need to get organised..i know my downfall is sweet stuff,, choc, cake,,and i love spuds, but after eating spuds im sooooooo hungry, i know they dont agree with me along with white bread, and cake...oh and i love chips. and curry.....got to get my mind set !!

So hello again, and hopefully i would have read the book soon enough and get cracking..

luckzzz

Welcome!!!
I too am on SUCH a limited budget..so I know how you feel. I usually stock uop where there are sales. Like chicken break breast goes on sale every so often for about 1.79 a pound and I get a few and freeze them. I also check the discounted meats....right before the expiration dates theymark them down a LOT and you can make them right away or freeze. Eggs are cheap..so are cans of tuna.

Here's alink to a whole thread full of ideas for those who are on a tight budget trying to do this WOL.

This WOE on a budget.. How do you do it?

Hope this helps!

Hi Sophia and welcome back to ADBB. I am a penny pincher by nature. I bargain shop and I buy in bulk. I always buy the family packs of whatever meats I'm purchasing. Another tip that I have found helpful is instead of chicken breasts, I buy the thighs and deboned them. You get more for your money. Hope that helps. Have a great day!
