And Minervas advice re low carb and less processed food is really good. This is a difficult way to diet...you can quite easily set yourself up "to fail" even though you're not actually failing....xx

Oh god....me too!!!.I have severe depression and have struggled this week...even though I thought I was in "the zone"....maybe cos my son is off school for easter so I have to prepare more meals for him. I do think as well as mental health being a medical condition (have taken meds for years for...

Thanks Minerva....I'm really looking forward to giving it my best shot...breaking down into 10lb goals and rewarding myself after each goal, only something small like a haircut, a pair of shoes, new pair of knickers....ha ha...instead of the belly warmers I've got now!!! So, 10lb times 11...

Hi....Lexi here....please can I join? Started today...again....but not hoping on and off...started a couple of weeks ago, but had low haemoglobin and ended up in hospital... boooo...anyway, todays weight 20st....Oh my!!! Good luck everyone!!! Lexi xxx

wow...thats brill...thanks for the nice comments...I'm so determined. well done on losing 2stones. How many dress sizes is that? xxx

And excellent result Lou. Well done! Lex X

I weigh in for first time Friday too, but I had a sneaky jump on the scales yesterday and lost 9.5 lb in first 4 days! Wow! X

Start weight; 283lb Week 1 (well 4 days in) 273.5 lb Lost 9.5lb Yippee!!

Not done a week yet ... I know I am naughty, but I weighed myself and gone down to 173.5 oh my god! Will probably stay there all week now...but I am sooooooo chuffed!

Yeah....drinking loads of water. I always have to be honest. Like it boiled instead of tea or coffee, I haven't had any caffeine since starting, all 3 days ago...ha ha. had caffeine withdrawal the other day and a bad headache, but its passed now and I'm hoping to hit ketosis tomorrow or next...

Excellent...glad you stuck with. X

I walk quite a lot as I have dogs and now it's nicer weather we have been walking to school and back which is 4 miles a day. I want to get a cross trainer but as I'm so heavy, I need to lose some first cos the home ones have a max user weight of 17st. I am also breaking my weight loss up into...

Oh my god...you look amazing! You look completely different... That is just really awesome and in only 9 months? I hope I do as well as that!! Are you keeping it off? Xx:)

Brilliant...well done you! X

Wow... That is fab. Any before and after pics? That truly is remarkable...did you track your weight loss...I would love to read it. X

In fact, I think I have just commented on another thread you have been on...I got the taster pack as it was only £28 quid plus p and p. I am only on day 2 and I like it...don't get me wrong, I have a long way to go, but having only tried Lipotrim before, this is so much tastier...delivery is...

Just started it.

Just reading through a couple of your comments...I know I'm a novice...on day 2 of Slim and Save and it's ok. And they do a caffe latte shake, had it for breakfast this morning and it was yum! X

Or do something to reward yourself for your achievements so far. Xx

Think about how far you have come...it will take you right back! Boiled water...I have just had a cup cos my belly was rumbling...

Excellent, they are both really great losses...I am on day two! X

Thanks Minerva...I really want to give it a good shot. Xx

Talk about Room 101...isn't that where you send things you would gladly get rid of? Well...ironically I have 101 lbs of fat I am going to lose. Just weighed in at 283 lb (a very cringe worthy 20st 2 lb) there, I said it... Never been public about my weight, but we are all in this together and...

Re: 104lbs to loose- week 1 weigh in!!! Wow...that is fab! I am starting Slim and Save today and your weight loss is so impressive...it's really spurred me on! Think I might do a similar thread to yours. Well done. Xx

Hi, starting slim and save today. Thanks for the advice, going to join their forum. Xx

Thank you... I will have a look. Xx

Hi, thanks and good luck. I can't at the mo as funds are so very tight. My friend is doing so well. Keep me posted though, it would be great to hear how you do. Xx

Hi all, I am seriously thinking about starting LL - I live with my 9 yr old son, any other single parents who have been successful? What does it taste like, any before / after pics? X

It's the motivation side of things...if I tried anything else, I'd just be the same Moonlights! Atkins works for me, I'm going to relook at my goals. Thanks anyway. Xx

And yet I want to lose weight so much...just can't seem to get in the zone. X

Struggling to be honest! Just no motivation! Need a swift kick up my bum! It's not the misunderstanding of it...it's the sheer lack of motivation! X

Thanks Sammy and Lindiloo! Yep, I use full fat mayo...I put ff meaning full fat, not fat free. I've checked labels...I guess its the sweetner etc that adds the carbs! Thanks anyway, soz if I confused anyone Lexi. x

Did better today and came in at 15g carbs! Happy bunny! Lexi. x

Sorry...I had to run to school...ha ha! Yes, just need to record properly and watch for carby veg. Thanks anyway! X Lexi. x

Yeah...I use MFP. And yep, I think the toms, I need to watch. Cut down to 3 at lunch and maybe have none for dinner and I have looked for generic veg, and I only had a slither of onion too...think I just Lexi. x

And Moonlights, please can you have a look too? Lexi. x

Hi Lady Felsham. If you get chance please can you look at my carb count for today, it's coming out at 42g on my carb counting app and I don't know why. Thanks Lexi. x

Excellent! It DOES work for me and I enjoy it! I am a bit confused tho...I've got an app on my phone that totals up calories and carbs etc and I've just put in all of my planned meals for today and it comes up to 42g carbs!!!! And I don't know how...can anyone help? B'fast ~ muffins made with 2...

Oh, I've been sooo naughty! Everything went to pot for a spell and I know you just can't jump on and off Atkins as it doesn't work like that! But I have given myself a good talking to and am determined to succeed! Lexi. x

Thanks again, I have ran out of celery today anyhow, and to be honest the thought of going shopping today just doesn't appeal! I've walked dogs twice but I think I've got the Atkins blues today! Only had 2g of carbs today, but just not in an eating mood! Does that make sense? I just want to...

Thanks ML, I have been counting it in with total carbs, but maybe having a little too much! Oops! Lexi. x

Hmmmm...found today a tad difficult, but stuck to it though my son's Jammy Dodgers were screamin "eat me!" throughout the day...I feel asthough I have a bit more energy, either that or I'm walking faster to get in from the cold and snow! I craved sweet things today! I LOVE the celery and peanut...

I thought it was something to do with Atkins...ha ha! But I guess I've not lost THAT much in two days! As for the cold...after teatime walk with my dogs was like a quick march! I think they are still in shock! Ha ha! Lexi. x

Blimey...I know it's snowing outside but I am FREEZING! Lexi. x

Thank you...hope you have a good day too! Lexi. x

Looking forward to day 2! Lexi. x

Ha ha! You're kiddin ain'tchya? I struggle to get 3 meals in me on this eating plan! Lexi. x

Thanks ML...I've just been lookin through the recipes threads! Lexi. x

Wow! Thank you so much! The Asparagus and Egg Dippers sound lovely - I might have that for lunch tomorrow. I am going to nip to ASDA whilst my son at cubs tonight! I have really enjoyed todays meals, but that has just added lots more possibilities. Can I have a hot Bovril drink when on...

The only thing I do struggle with is not eating enough...though I've just chomped through a big ham salad...it was lurvely! Think I need some ideas for hot meals! Any ideas? Lexi. x

Thanks...made my breakfast muffin things out of an egg and mayo, with cheese and ham and drank lots of water! Support on here is great! Thanks...it's usually day 3 and 4 I struggle with. Lexi. x

Thanks...I am looking forward to it! Just bought lots of leafy salad leaves...good for vitamin B12 too! I used to make breakfast muffins for 1 egg and a tablespoon of Mayo. A little grated cheese and ham! Yum, yum, yum! My menu plan is looking good! X

Wow! You are doing so well! I am starting tomorrow and really cannot wait! I am just in the process of writing down a menu planner so I can go out and do a shop later on! Atkins does work, and having used this forum before, I know how fab everyone is and so supportive! Good luck and thanks for...

Hi, I am re starting Atkins tomorrow and I'm genuinely excited! It worked for me before and I'm going to make sure it works again and stays off this time! I've been re-researching again and just about to do my menu planner! REALLY looking forward to starting this and am not dreading first weigh...

Hi, I am Rickytickytum, my friends call me Lex. I am starting Atkins with hope and excitement tomorrow. I have successfully done it before and was so pleased with the outcome...unfortunately, due to a series of circumstances from Autumn last year (genuine reasons, not excuses!) I came off Atkins...
