To update:
I originally lost 11 stones doing vegetarian Atkins. For years I stayed at or close to goal weight (10st).
Then I began to regain like lightning. My response was to eat less, and less, and fast, etc etc. Understandable reaction.
As you will see from my earlier entries I struggled to get my weight down again. Over time this proved impossible no matter how little I ate!
I was once 21 3/4 stones. I lost 11 of those stones. I truly thought that, thanks to low carbing, I would stay at goal indefinitely.
So this rapid regain, muscle pain and total exhaustion scared me and in no time took over my life. My advice to others who find that they feel ill, weak, totally exhausted etc and also cannot lose weight no matter how little they eat - see your doctor for blood tests. I had no idea my thyroid gland was no longer working.
I've worked hard to re-lose 7st 5lb since last July. I intend to keep going until I'm back to goal.
Good luck, everyone!
