im on the atkins diet. im trying to lose weight quickly for somethin thats coming up so only had a couple of weeks to do it.
i dont do much exercise- running around after a baby, exercise dvds when i can be bothered and the odd walk

Obviously iv head of Atkins but what does it entail?
How does it work?

Really fancy trying this but not a clue where to start

welcome to the group

basically in atkins you dont eat any carbs, you can eat protein, veg and 20g of fat a day...i think. you have to drink lots of water and i take vitamins as well.

i was looking for a link for you to have a look at but theres looooads!! my mum had a book and she helped me get started

[MummyToAmberx]

I bought new scales they were saying 192 on monday morning which was what i was on 6th june when i weighed in. So ones i were using are broke. Saying i was 188 this morning. Sometimes they are coming out the same, but not chance i want to take.

 

[scottishgal89]

[MummyToAmberx]

[MummyToAmberx]

[scottishgal89]

im saying on atkins till next friday, then having a weekend off and will go back on it untill i reach my goal. then will start introducing carbs again gradually until i work out how much my body can deal with

 

[Pricey]

OK Daisy, you win.

Start ~ 15 Stone 6 Pound. (Was it around 2 weeks ago?)
Goal ~ Lets say 14 for now.
Current ~ 14 stone 9 lbs
Lost 0 Stone 11 Pound. (Is that right?)

What else did you say? What I'm doing? Stopped chocolate, sugar (in tea etc), fast food, and now only eat salads on their own or with a jacket, packets of fruit, and also cut out fizzy drink altogether.

Also run around 10 miles a week, going around 3 times a week.

Hows that?! x
