(ps. my local gym is closed till mid may for refurbishment  so that’s out!)
And finally i am going on holiday in the last week of June and so i really want to be 20 stone by then as i have a lot of clothes, which fitted me, when i was 20stone but won’t fit now.. is this possible or am i kidding myself?  |
I don't know anything about the supplements, although if you're really tired is it possible that you're not eating enough. I don't know much about Atkins, but you could try asking that same question in the low carb forums (not sure if there is an Atkins, but there might be).
On the exercising, walking can be made more interesting by adding some music, or picking a different route. Your local library may have some workout type DVDs, or record something from the television. I admit that I have a treadmill, so I'm probably not the person to tell you how to make it more interesting. I like (even love) mine. You could try changing up your walking routine depending on your level of fitness. Try walking as fast as you can for a short distance (jogging even) then go back to a slower pace. Then repeat for a few times.
You've done well so far, as most people do when starting into a new way of eating. If I remember correctly 1 stone = 14 pounds. So 42 pounds in 11 weeks is probably pushing it, but you'll know as you get closer to the date. You may find that some of your things will fit (as most clothing is not really standard). Even if you don't get that much off in 11 weeks, you're still going to be lighter, and feel better, aren't you?
Good luck with your new journey.
(see, I knew someone would find the forums for you!)
Im on Atkins?
(eeeekkkk!) but I am a dress size 24 as i’m 5'11 and i am currently doing Atkins, i started last week and have lost 7lbs this week! 
. . . I'm not a regular in this (the 300+ club) forum, but just happen to be one of the first ones to see your post, I guess. I'm sure a lot of the others will be along shortly.
