Hi. I’ve already shared my defeat with losing weight. And recently I was told to try Atkins diet. The prediction was to lose up to 20 pound in two weeks. That sounded great for me and decided why not. So I’ve started exactly two weeks ago and I was seriously following all rules but I could only lose 10 pounds. I was okay with the result but obviously I did expect more. Why do you think I wasn’t able to lose more? Is it the peak and I wouldn’t be able to lose more weight?
My close friend said to me that I also need to be physically active then I will lose more pounds. But as I explained before I work in the office and most of the time I just sit at my desk with a computer. Last weekend I went for a run. I didn’t realize that it would be so difficult (last time I did that at school). I guess it should be more like a cycle because running once a week is not enough and my body can’t get used to it. By the way this weekend I’ll try again. After work I have 2-3 free hours and I want to find a session of simple exercises that I can do at home. My “weak parts” are belly and hips and I read that they are the toughest in changing. So if you know any good exercises or these parts it would be awesome.
I also heard that doing pilates is very useful in the process of losing weight. Have anyone tried it?
I’ll look forward to hear from you. Have a good day and all the best)

Hi mates. I am Julia and I am 28. I feel like to share how I feel and I hope with your help I will get more support and become confident. In general I think it is an amazing idea that people exchange the experience and communicate here.

So the problem is that I can’t lose even a pound and keep the result. I work in the office so I don’t have much time to move around and be active. Of course I was able to get rid up to 3 pounds but after they quickly came back to me. I wouldn’t say that I have chosen a specific diet because they are all too cruel and strict in my opinion. Especially those when they suggest to eat at a set time. For example I used to eat up to 4 times a day. And I wouldn’t like to change this habit but I am open to new ideas what I should and shouldn’t eat.

I have read about Duromine from Solutions4weightloss and other appetite suppressant pills and it seems like they can really help. I decided to discover them more but after reading a list of possible side effects my desire to buy them has faded away. I can’t imagine that people who choose to lose weight taking pills like those can stand endless headaches, insomnia and depression.

What do you people eat while on a diet and what you don’t eat? Any useful tips? And did anyone try some kind of diet pills? Is it true that consequences are so bad? I’ll be very grateful to hear from you.
