After two weeks on Atkins, and losing 10.6lbs, I have now gone back to a more healthy and balanced approach to weight loss. Atkins just seems to restrictive to me, even after induction, and too time consuming. It is good for a kick start to weight loss for a short time but trying to prepare lunches for work was a bit of a nightmare. I dropped a dress size, back down to a UK size 16. I was approaching a size 20!! Yikes! I have, however, put on nearly 4lbs since stopping Atkins, but that's just because I went a little crazy when I allowed myself to eat carbs again! Chinese food, slices of toast with butter, chocolate.....mmmmm! But my size has stayed the same and I'm still wearing my size 16 trousers to work, and get this, I can even get them on and off without unbuttoning them!!! Mwahahaha!
Tonight I went back to good ol' Weight Watchers! I had lost 6.5lbs since the last time I was there, which took me to a total of 14 pounds.
I have joined Rebecca at Fat, Fitness, Food on her Five Week Frenzy Challenge! We are all aiming to lose 10lbs in five weeks!! Check out her blog. She is a real inspiration!
I'm also really into Kelly O's blog! She's just awesome! Check out her new revamped blog!
I really want to revamp my own blog. I feel it's a little dull and boring! It needs a bit more pizzaz, and more updates!
Hopefully I can figure out how to make a totally fantastic blog! Stay tuned.....
Have a great day everyone!
WOW! 10.6 lbs in 2 weeks!!! WOOHOOO!!! I did South Beach once and lost 7 in the first two weeks. I am with you, the first few days are hard but after that, not really. Hmmm...maybe I should do it again.
