Start Weight:	(16 Oct 09) 140.0 lb
Current Weight:	(20 Nov 09) 131.9 lb
Goal Weight:	112.0 lb

following: Atkins
performance: losing 1.1 lb a week

I started the atkins diet after putting on 21 lbs in a year after moving back to the UK from Portugal. I need to get back into running fit shape. I use this photo of me taken July 08 to keep me motivated.
I'm happily married with 4 kids (16, 15, 6, 3 years old) we had been through a bad patch which last for well over a year. Unable to spend alot on food and only buying what was really cheap or reduced I lost control over my eating and stopped caring....Not now I am back and determined to get the old fit, sexy and happy Clare back for GOOD..!

Atkins misconceptions
I am getting really feed up with peoples reactions when I mention and I am doing the atkins diet, they all have so many misconceptions of the diet, to the point of being arrogant.
The gasps of horror are enough to make me paranoid.
In the UK there are hardly any low carb products in the supermarkets, which means meals are made from scratch using fresh produce. I am not one to criticise but when I go shopping and see the HUGE amount of junk food people buy I wounder why I get this reaction for taking control of my lifestyle?.
