Hi, It has been a long time! Let me catch everyone (the 1 follower I have) up!
First off, a few months ago I started having severe pains in my chest and lower belly, to the point where I couldn't breath and would hover over in pain. After a trip to E.R. it was discovered that I had a fairly large gallstone that was stuck along my gallbladder and had caused it to be infected and inflamed. I had the surgery and I am 100% healed.
I now weigh 137 (about 6 pounds less than my last recorded weight on here I believe) and my goal weight is around 123-125 now. I have decided that I want to start the Dukan diet. YES I am so against the word "diet" but I have hit a plateau and feel this might help kick me over the hill to the other side. ALSO, the main reason this one appeals to me is because I eat a lot of what instructs to eat, a lot of protein and vegetables! My problem will be cutting out the cheese and sweets! I plan to join the gym within the next week or so, although strenuous exercise is not necessary for this diet only walking.
I am intending on starting the first phase on Thursday, the "Attack Phase." In this phase, you can only eat proteins. A VERY strict protein diet depending on how much weight you want to lose. I only am doing it for 3 days, after which I will introduce veggies in my diet. Yay!
So come on Thursday, let's get this started!
