Day 8. Results Day… :oS

So Week 1 out of the way and how did I do, You maybe pondering…!?!?! hum… well Fantastic… My weight now is 97.5 kg (15.4 Stone, 216 lbs) down from 101.6 kg (16 Stone, 224 Ibs) . I have lost a whole 4.1 kg (0.6 Stone, 8 Ibs) yippee. That’s equivalent to 4 bags of sugar all weighing 1 kg each. Amazing huh! Who would have thought you could lose so much weight, eating yourself thin… :o) I guess the next goal is to try and replicate or better my success.

To be honest I didn’t find this week that difficult to stick to the diet, I had my doubts at the start and yeah I had a little of the Induction blues mid week, but that seems to of past now. Perhaps as the heart grows fonder I may incur stronger sugary bad cravings, but if the weeks fly like this one or easier, then I could be on a road to victory sooner than I think, fingers crossed. “Focusing on the Goal!”

Some things I need to work on though are more variety of recipes, possibly more on deserts too :oP. I went to the local supermarket two days ago, and I found it incredible how expensive Atkins Chocolate Bars are for their size. £2 for just 1 small bar, Outrageous!!! So if anyone has some really simple ideas then feel free to place them in the comments section below.

Here is a really easy desert my dad suggested to me at the start… Sugar Free Jelly with Cream :P yum! Easy to make and hardly any net carbs :o) Just the way I like it at at the moment… although be cautious because it does contain aspartame, which can cause headaches and other issuses, it can be abit of a weight retainer too and can encourage carb cravings. You find alot of aspartame in sugar free foods and drinks, like Chewing Gum, Jelly, Diet Fizzy Drinks etc.. so read the label and watch out for this.

Anyhow here are my stats…. And wow am amazed that you can see my sizes have changed, especially in the legs department ;o)

And here is the table of the grub I have consumed for today:

I have to say today has been incredible, not only did I achieve successful weight loss results, I had plenty of yummy food to eat, and I am feeling great.... and and and… I had an awesome time at volleyball, I played pretty well! Which also reminds me, I will be resuming my jumping training tomorrow morning, as my knee feels much better :o)

Right O I think I will leave it there….Night Night or Good Morning depending on what time you read this :o)

Wishing everyone who is also following the Atkins Diet (Or any diet) the same or better success, keep up the hardwork, you know it will eventually pay off :o) and Don't Give Up!
