Hi everyone,
In April I began working in a health shop and at 13st 10lbs thought I'd better do something about my weight, get healthier. I started a detox diet and in 2 days I began reacting to foods...it was horrible, itchy weals on my face, hives, running nose and eyes..and stuff
At first didnt know what was going on but for some reason I developed a lot of food allergies very fast. I lost 21lbs quite quickly because of this.
I finally got some kind of control and sorted out a new way of eating but my weight is stuck at 12st 6 -ish. Because what I can eat is now very limited, no gluten, no dairy, no to some fruits and veggies etc. I've decided to lose weight with Atkins. I'm a very happy meat eater, I cant eat pasta or bread or cereal anyways so its the perfect diet for me.
I did a high protein-low carb diet years ago, in the 80's and it suited me then and because of my allergies this will be a permanent lifestyle change, low carbs is easy for me..i dont have much choice lol
I began Atkins on 22nd July and have lost 4 1/2lbs so far and spent my nights peeing that away!! I hope that eases off soon.
...oh and I'm 45, have 3 kids and I'm single, I will be a grandma in jan next year, my eldest daughter is expecting ..whoot! I wanna be a glamarous gran for those baby photos!
