Hi, I'm Fi. I'm starting Atkins tomorrow. About to clear the fridge and cupboards then write the shopping list. scare, apprehensive etc etc. However, after letting the weight creep up and up for last four years, time to get myself by the scruff of the neck. Nothing could be scarier than the sight of myself in the mirror or on a video podcast for work the other day. I have avoided mirrors too long. If anyone else on verge of starting and needs support (ie I do!), get in touch. Thanks for all the posts here, really encouraging.
