Atkins Low Carbohydrate Diet - Weeks 10 & 11

I lost 1kg in each of the last two weeks, a reasonable result I'm quite happy with. My weight is now (as at Sunday 31st August) 78.5kg, a reduction of 19.5kg since I began (or 43lb) - I have 13.5kg to reach my target of 65kg. Measurement indicators for the week also show reasonable reductions:
- waist down a further 0.7 inches to 35.5 inches (total reduction so far 9.5 inches);
- hips down 0.7 inches to 42.9 inches (total reduction so far 5.6 inches);
- thighs down 0.7 inches to 24.2 inches (total reduction so far 4.3 inches).
(PS/ It is a coincidence that the total reduction for all three measurements is the same for this two week period - they were not precisely the same when the weeks are viewed separately)

I also visited my doctor last week so he could take a blood test; I wanted to be sure that what is going on inside my body reflects how I feel - which is great. I am pleased to say that my blood tests were very satisfactory and my blood pressure is completely normal now. I also take my own blood pressure regularly, using my own monitor, but it is useful for this to be confirmed by my doctor.
