Atkins works!

[Kat1e]

Morning all

Feeling the need to cheer myself and remind self of how life has improved so much since I discovered Atkins in January 2011. Thought it might also be useful for those just starting the journey to see how well Atkins works - both to lose weight but also maintain that loss.

So here we go.

1. My favourite before and after as I truly believed that they was no way on earth I would ever fit in this dress again - even when I first lost weight I thought it must have shrunk and tried to give it to the friend borrowing but (luckily!) she refused! Then the body shape just gradually changed until it fit, no problem

2. The journey - which was a surprise the whole way along as if you look at my initial diary entries I just wanted to lose down to 90kg to get back to a pre baby normal (which was still wildly overweight)!

Thanks Busy - I've found that my determination/will power is directly proportional to not being hungry so that's always my key focus.

These are fab, you look brilliant in that dress! Thanks for sharing x

Thanks - bought the dress in 1999 when I was an expat and fairly flush

Fabulous photos Katie, love the dress (and it looks so much nicer on you!)

Lol - obviously made for me

Well done Katie, you look absolutely stunning and you can't half see the transformation! You go girl!

Thanks - it is nice seeing the side by side. I loved the black dress because it fit at the time but my god I was enormous! Think I tended to avoid looking.

WOW, I am impressed. Well done! And I love the dress

Thanks - just need more evening black tie dos to wear it to!

Just mooching about the Atkins and low carb boards. Your pics are fab.

I lost three stone a few years ago following induction and then pig to twig.

Now I'm back to it ;-)

Slightly more relaxed approach to Atkins style and a very funny book.
