Seeing as we are both new to this i wondered if you'd be my buddy? I just think i need someone to ramble onto about day to day food stuff, someone that is facing the same problems as me! I dont like to hijack other posts so thought id start this one. Of course anyone else is welcome but i just needed somewhere to whinge, moan and celebrate what ive eaten and my weight loss. Do you mind?

 

[Lisa D]

Not at all, be my guest, i'll be doing just the same trust me!!

I started today and already feel like i'm eating too much, don't know how i'm ever going to lose weight!

Feel free to rant when needed

 

[cherl889]

Same here! Its been hard today every time i go to the fridge i see chocolate nest cakes:sigh:. Im on a 12hr night duty tonight so ive just made some cheese and cuecumber wraps (wrapped in a lettuce leaf). Not sure what else to take but only an hour before i leave (on 7-7 but takes over an hour to get there). Im sure you have done ok. When is the weigh in?

 

[Lisa D]

Today was my first day so should really weigh in next Sunday but i'm hopeless and will probably be on the scales every day!!

See how you are doing tomorrow!

 

[Jim]

LOL, we had a scaleaholics thread going at one time. I was the same back in the day, I'd weigh myself at every opportunity.

 

[cherl889]

Glad im not the only one then. Its the big 1wk weigh in tomorrow so will report back. I didnt get hungry at work last night so that was good and when i finally got in at 10.50am (should have been home by latest 8am) Mark had made bacon and mushrooms which he lovingly let me have before i wnt to bed and made more for himself. Ahhhhhh!

 

[Lisa D]

Ahh that was nice! 2nd day went ok, stuck to plan although for some reason feeling a little sluggish, maybe tomorrow will better. Let us know how you get on with your weigh in, good luck!!

 

[cherl889]

What is it your eating hun? Are you actually following a plan?

 

[Lisa D]

Yeah i'm following Atkins from the "New Diet Revolution" book, I couldn't resist getting on the scales this morning and it's already showing a loss of 3lb after 2 days so it must be working, thats made me feel better

How did your weigh in go?

 

[Jim]

You might be feeling the first atkins flu symptoms Lisa.

 

[Lisa D]

Oh right, how long does that normally last? I had a bad stomach last night aswell , could this be because of the diet?

 

[Jim]

I never had the bad stomach, but to be fair I never have had before Atkins, My Atkins flu lasted a couple of days Lisa, I felt crap, and then I woke up in the morning and felt absolutely fantastic, and it's been pretty much like that ever since. The only time I feel bad now is after a carb binge, I get that really bad, bloating, bad wind, headache etc...

 

[cherl889]
