Fit for Christmas?

[Netty]

Hello fellow newbies (and experts). I've got an old workplace reunion and a family get together in late December . I would love your encouragement, whilst I duck, dive and ninja kick the many cakes, biscuits and choc bars that will get thrown into my path up until then. I'll be loudly Cheerleading your goal too

Hi Netty, Do you know how all of this works? Have you read the book?

Welcome to the ADBB, Nettie!

Just remember that all those nasty things are not your friends and treat them accordingly. They are the enemy of your health and well being. Don't let them win!

Hey, ladies thank you very much for your encouragement. This morning I woke up three pounds lighter than when I started, I'm delighted, I know it's just a small difference, but I noticed my jeans felt less snug.

Chinadoll, yes I have the book, i'm on day three of the induction phase now. There's some astonishing and inspirational tansformations on the forums.

And yes, they are my enemy blueberrylady. I'll just have to remember all the times when I've succumbed to something that doesn't taste anywhere near as attractive as the packaging promises.

Think of where you are going, think of how you will look and feel - stick to plan and you will feel fantastic. I highly recommend measuring, so you can see it in the inches, if not the pounds. Good luck.

Just remember - Atkins isn't a crash diet it's a lifestyle and take change in you to make it work - you can't eat healthy for a few weeks then go back to your old ways - you'll be back where you were to begin with plus a few extra pounds. If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.
