As long as we get there in the end, thats the important thing.

Morning Jo

 

[JoanneM]

Morning Jim. Hope you're well.

 

[Jim]

I'm fine thanks Jo, and you?

 

[JoanneM]

Having some stomach problems this morning for some reason but other than that Im fine. Slightly gutted that the one day Im not going out today the forecast isnt for torrential rain and gales, lol.

 

[Jim]

is it love? we have cold but bright sunshine and blue skies.

I wonder what your tummy problem is?

 

[JoanneM]

No idea but its finally setling down. Exante doesnt seem to have been agreeing with me since I went back on it. Cant wait to be off it again, lol.

We had a threat of sunshine earlier but it disappeared quickly.

 

[Jim]

I managed 1 day on CD, I just couldn't handle it at all Jo, nor WW. I was starving all the time.

 

[JoanneM]

I cant say I blame you. I actually did really well on it until December when my losses started slowing down and thats when things pretty much went to pot. Ive been playing at it since then with the odd cheat here and there and I know I just cant stick it any longer. Having to wait until Friday is killing me!

 

[Jim]

How good was Atkins for you last time. I have been so lucky on it, never really struggled, did have some disappointing stalls at times, but usually after big losses.

 

[JoanneM]

I worked out my averages last week when I was trying to decide what to do and I actually lost more doing Atkins than I have Exante. My problem with Atkins was the way I lost it really frustrated me. Id lose nothing for weeks and then a big loss and then nothing for weeks again so it just wasnt motivating me. This time Im not going to let myself be ruled by the scales. I know it works and I will get there eventually. Ive already accepted that its not going to be as quickly as Id hoped so hoping I can keep that in my head.

 

[Jim]

Did you lose inches, maybe the tape is better for you than the scales jo?

 

[JoanneM]

Yeah you definitely make a good point Jim. Ill have to have a look back at my inch loss when I was Atkins - I know I lost 3 inches off my bust alone in week one of doing it.

 

[Jim]

I rarely weigh now Jo, just go by my belt, or on a planned induction before a known splurge and then after it until I'm back at my maint weight.

 

[JoanneM]

Probably the best way to go to be honest but Im not that good, lol.

 

[Jim]

Ah well,we are what we are Jo

 

[JoanneM]

Very true and wouldnt it be a boring world if we were all the same.

 

[JoanneM]

Well I couldnt hold out any longer and am now officially back on Atkins. As I type there is a cheeseburger pie in the oven and DS cant wait for it either, lol. It smells absolutely divine. Something tells me Ill be having an early dinner tonight.

 

[Jim]

Oh Good, let me be the first to welcome you then love.

 

[JoanneM]

Thanks Jim. Its good to be back.
