The road to getting slim is finally underway!!
After battling with yo-yo dieting for ages I have finally realised that I have lost a great amount of weight without even really trying. The other day I came across a photo of myself from a year and a half ago safe to say that is definitely not going to happen again as you can see from the attached photo that it was definitely not a good look for myself and that look thankfully will NEVER be returning!! Found the same dress in my cupboard and tried it on... as you can see the results.
I started Atkins few weeks ago and so far in the induction I have been doing really well granted thou I have had one cheat day but have been back on it straight away and to my surprise have not really missed my carbs - even thou I half expected to be craving them. I am also looking at the back of packets to look for the carb content which is a start because I am now more aware of the foods I am eating etc. I have lost 10lbs in 6 weeks which is pretty good... I suffer from PCOS and as they say weight loss is even harder but to be honest Ive found Atkins to be pretty easy to follow and im pretty much always full.
I'm hoping to stay in induction phase for another few weeks or at least until my partner gets back from Norway, he is back in 3 weeks and Im hoping to lose another half a stone at least before he comes home!
Starting weight a year and a half ago was nearly 15 stone... now im 12.10 so have managed to lose just over 2 stone on my own.

Just come on here for some support and wondering if anybody had any advice on the atkins phase 1 approach and if it works and what other things I can eat par whats on the website because even though im full im getting slightly bored of the same foods and I think eventually this will cause me to cheat haha!
Thanks for looking. Any advice on tackling PCOS would be great because when my partner comes home were hoping TTC this is the motivation that I have needed to lose weight so any advice would be appreciated!
