About Me

Hi there! I'm Emma, and I started this blog as a record for myself of what I am eating, and how well my diet is going.
I have an awful lot of weight to lose! But I am determined to start getting rid of the fat for good. This blog also has some personal reflections on my life, current events, etc.

15/NOV/2011 - I weigh 18st 12lbs, aiming to get down to around 11st. Heaviest weight ever was 22st 13lbs, about three years ago.

Illnesses: Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Bipolar Disorder

Medications taken: Lithium (800mg nightly), Venlafaxine (375mg in the morning), Lamotrigine (100mg nightly), Respiridone (1mg morning 4mg evening), Simvastatin (I forget how much, one pill) & Zopiclone prn.

I don't take any medication for diabetes (yet) and I hope not to go onto it!

I have decided to follow the Atkins Diet as I've heard it is good for weightloss, controlling blood sugar and actually lets you eat things that are nice and are filling!

So, here's hoping it goes well!
