I thought that this would get lost in the bio thread so i brought it up.
New here also!
My name is Shannon and I will be twenty three years old on Sunday. I have been married 10 years (yes, since I was just 18) and am very happily married. We have no children yet, but we would both like to start trying some day soon. I wouldn't change a thing. Except my weight. When I first got married I was a size 10. Which to some people, that isn't very small, but at my height (5 foot even) that was a perfect weight for me. I was about 140lbs. Now I am bursting out a size fourteen and weight 182 lbs. My mom has recently lost 20 lbs on the Atkins diet in the past two months, so I'm thinking I shouild really try this diet. I did all this week and the one thing I can definetly say for it is that you are rarely hungry at all. Which is good because I could usually eat 24/7. But I after one week, I have lost nothing. How long will I have to be on this for me to be able to start notincing a differnce? Also, I'm getting tired already of eating eggs and bacon for breakfast every morning and cucumbers and sugar free jello at lunch every day. Are there someone simple, yet inexpensive foods I could buy at the grocery store to give me some variety? Any input you guys have will be extremely helpful!
Drink tons. shannon, that is the biggest key to it all. dring about 100 oz and more daily.check out the recipe section for foods and that should help. there is no reason that you have to limit your self to eggs in the morning i eat hamburgers and ham and anything at breakfast and dinner. i eat eggs for dinner at times too.
Sorry guys. I am 23 and did get married at 18. I've been married five years, not ten. I think I just had being a size ten again on my brain. Forgive my silliness. Again, any support you guys can offer as far as food ideas goo for brakfast and lunch are appreciated! Also, thanks for bringing my message out here where it can be seen!
