Disenchanted!!!!
Hi all!
i've been doing this atkins lark now (at strict induction level during the week and a bit less strict with a few drinks at the weekend) for nearly six months and have probably lost around half a stone, thing is i have been stuck at the same weight (147pounds/10 stone 7) for MONTHS (since about may) - it seems like the only way i can get it off is by doing D.A's Fat Fast...in fact i did it for 2 weeks before my hols and managed to get down to 10 stone - obv it didnt stay off and i have drifted back up to the 10 1/2 mark and have been stuck their again since july. I love this woe and at least my weight has stabilized (give or take the odd cheat or two where water weight has registered on the scale) but i'm really starting to get hacked off, especially when people go on about the weight just "dropping off" on atkins - I WANT SOME OF THAT TOO!!! - after all it has been 6 MONTHS!
Anyway, my brother's getting married in 1 month's time and i'm a bridesmaid - the thought of walking down the aisle with people getting the dreaded backside view is filling me with dread so last monday i decided to experiment and do a low carb detoxy type thing that i did in january (i lost 6 pounds on it that time) - here is the menu:
breakfast - 2 hardboiled eggs
lunch - 1/2 iceberg lettuce, 1 fennel and 1 celery heart all made into a salad with lots of olive oil, white wine vinegar and rock salt.
Dinner - 250g baked cod/turkey breast (no fat) with loads of vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, baby corn and mangetout) dressed with olive oil and salt
2 litres water
low carb and low calorie, i thought i was onto a winner as i have felt a bit lighter and relatively healthy (give or take the odd stomach rumble)...this morning i weighed myself and guess what?! - 149 pounds (10 stone 9) - 2 pounds on!!!!! -
Does anyone have any suggestions as i am coming to the end of my tether...i have to lose some poundage by october 18th!!!!
Could anyone help me....PLEASE!!!!!??????
thank you!
