No movement on those stupid scales (I weigh on two!)! I'm now resigned to the fact that they are never going to change. At lease I'm not giving up. Of course I want to loose weight to look good, but in my heart that is not so important. It is the fact that my BP has come down to a healthy level, the fact that my joints don't creak anymore, my mood swings are balancing out, my depression has disappeared.... this is important. I am looking positive.

losing 0.5 lb a week
15 November 2010
A few days ago I visited my local chemist, it's only a small chemist which is a sort of a satellite store for the bigger one that is in the village. Auxi is the assistant, she's very sweet, but she wouldn't sell me L/Carnitine - I felt like a druggy - I'm 57 years old and I'm afraid I was rather embarrassed. She wanted to know why I wanted it and why, she'd never heard of Atkins at all which I though was a bit strange. Anyway, while shopping this morning I bought 3 boxes from the supermarket. I'm sure the supermarket wouldn't sell anything 'dangerous' as they are not even allowed to sell aspirin in the supermarkets here.
Had two capsules just before lunch today. Hoping this will kick start the weight loss as Colette the Atkins nutritionist suggest.
It's an experiment and I'll my experiment posted but I'm not expecting this to work for a week or two yet.
Hope everyone had a good Monday!

What a crazy couple of days I've had - like nothing I've experienced before. It all revolved around someone in a professional capacity 'borrowing' about 25k euros (about 35k $) of money that we're responsible for (not our money) without permission. We thought this person was great, now we are so disappointed in him and we're not sure the police should have been involved! All the money is now fully paid back... but what a shock. We're back on an even keal with damage limitation plans working. It's now in the past and chalked up to one of life's experiences.
I am still stuggling with losing weight, over 3 weeks exactly, I have lost 1.8 lb, John has lost 8.5 lb over the same time scale, despite him having extras like milk, various fruits, oh and a medicinal brandy yesterday to steady his nerves after the above shock. So I've come to the conclusion, I am sure I am insulin resistant and I'm off the chemist this week to have it confirmed by having tests. Just in case I am at stage 4 of type II diabetis.
On www.atkins.com (Blogs), Colette Heimowitz, the Nutritionist has written two blogs, one was submitted 11th November 'The role of insulin in difficulty losing weight' and another one on 5th November, 'The path to Diabetis' - anyone has a slow metabolism, it's recommended reading.
This week I am aiming for a clean induction again. It is a good way to focus.
Hope everyone has a great, peaceful, happy and successful weak! x
