feeling dreadful - just cried down phone to doctor receptionist - BOO.

on day 4 of Atkins! and haven't gone off the plan once (accept a splash of milk in my morning coffee - cut out all others but I NEED it in morning) . However - today I am feeling Bleugh - lethargic, no appetite and really lacking any focus (struggling at work) I had read that around day 4 is...

@Loz1986 it really was and yesterday worse again as I was doing cookie dough of all chocolate combos :() not one bit passed my lips though!! bloomin job!

good luck!! I'm starting too - its a total mind set change - but it has got to be worth a good try!!!

yeah it looked good BUT I'm a bit funny with the texture of oil so I really think it would make me gag! but the science makes sense - by using the oil in place of snacks to fill you up reduce snacking and to break the pleasure response to snacking it makes sense - I'm just not sure I could...

awh thank you @cyncicalgirl - yes that's kind of what has spurred me on to re try the "new Atkins" I was interested in the HAY diet as it looks a little less restrictive but I'm feeling the need for total restriction for a short while to get my head back in gear!! I studied food science and...

So official weigh in yesterday - 3.5lb off. its ok not great but off not on is the way forward. Have made a decision to give Atkins a full go from Sunday after our wee night away. new cross trainer in position and used this morning - 20 minutes!! 5.5km - I can def. make progress on this!!! K

hi 3.5lb off this week (sorry I could post yesterday!)

@Marysu thanks for replying - I have set my mind to giving Atkins a strong go from Sunday (hubbie and I have a might away booked this weekend so after that) As much as possible I am going to plan right through the week breakfast lunches and dinners. - if you have any meals/recipes which you...

Dinner was a type of Buritto bowl - no photo was far too hungry!!!!!!! Nice tho was rice lots of salad spicy chicken butternut squash cubes. Another day with no Diet Coke and only 1 coffee - staying strong! Weekend tomorrow so need to plan and organise not failing this soon in!!!!

Oh dunno I think I saw a thread 13-12? But not sure! I was a member back in 2012-2014 and then u'd drop to next group once you entered that stone zone so say 14st 13.5lb- 14? Maybe someone can confirm??

hi I know I'm late to this but can I join - aiming for 10lb in January! - aiming big!

tonight will be spicy chicken with salad and Butternut squash (maybe some rice if I'm hungry but trying to avoid the complex carbs)

yeah heres to seeing 13's soon!!

OK so today has started OK - up an used the "new" treadmill for 15 mins - it is not exactly as I had hoped - it is a manual one with a permanent incline which is quite steep also you need to hold on to make the belt go (if I let go it stops abruptly!!) so jogging is difficult but may be with a...

awh thanks! its such an up hill climb!! good luck with your journey!

Day 1 - so far - day 1 of no Diet coke! bloody nettle tea and sparkling water is not cutting it! how many days does it take to get rid of a 26 year addiction :rolleyes: food so far today: breakfast - liberte 0 yoghurt, frozen raspberries, 2 spoonful's of carols granola 2 cups nettle and...

HI can I join?? just weighed back in at 14st 0.5lb. I know it may seem pointless but I really struggle to loose so may be around longer than others just to get into the 13's. Time to get this going!

I am so excited I MiniMins is back and - how did I not know its been back for so long! it was a true support last time and I am sure it will be again! I literally just let out a scream here at my desk when I realised it was live again!!!! So I now need to amend my signature line to remove some...

My story starts now - but here's how I got here! Ok thought long and hard about posting I'm sure there will be plenty who will say it'll never happen to me - I'm never going back to how I was - trust me both me and my family said it and MEANT it. 4yrs ago I joined sw (mostly to prove to my mum...

1lb on for me. Which us actually good news as if I'd lost or sts I'd have had to pay!!!

Hi please can I join? I'd like to loose 7lbs. Although I'm at target I think another half stone would just top it off! Plus got a school reunion mid July and it'd be great to go at a lower weight than I've ever been (even when at school!!!!!)

I'm in exactly the same boat. I would have to borrow my start up capital so it would have to pay. I'm holding off for a bit until my kids r in school then I'd have time to promote and concentrate on it properly. Can any one give me some indications on how long it takes with decent promotion etc...

1.5lb off this week! Thanks!

Yes I weigh on wed too and if those scales haven't moved I'll def be talking to my consultant it's just so frustrating!!!!! But I refocused today did a mega workout and beenon it 100% red day. It almost turned into a total melt down today so I'm pleased I didn't let that happen! Gotta...

Baked bean lasagne sweet pot wedges peas and salad. Yum!

A use it up leftovers omelette (4 mushrooms Hal tomatoes half piece bacon spoonful of tuna??) surprisingly yum !

I do see it that way but now it's really getting the way if normal life. When I can't find a swimsuit to contain it all to take my 2 babies swimming and when I run or exercise it really restricts my movement and ends up chaffing and hurting. I'm not ashamed of the skin I'm proud I've come this...

Thanks everyone. I am almost finished loosing only. 6 lb to go. I just feel with every lb I loose now it gets worse not better! Nice to know it Nat settle tho! I would consider surgery (I think I'd have to) but I didn't think there was any hope on nhs but yes I do think it's time I went to see...

These recipes are fab! Thank you!!!

I this is not such a pleasant topic. But at almost 6st loss and almost at target I have a pretty large problem. I have masses of excess skin. I knew I would have it to some degree but this is bad. I have been trying to buy a swim suit and there are none can contain it all :(. I have had to...

A sts for me thus week. Not surprised as I had an indulgent valentines evening!! But still very precariously perched in 10s at 10st 13lb. So with 3lb to my 6st award and. 6 lb to target I'm giving myself a BIG kick up bum and refocus. Time to get this weight shifted!!!!!

I've just put paprika turkey (cheaper than pork!!!!) in slow cooker for after swimming lessons tonight!! We will have it with rice peas and green beans!

Yes I think switching my days is a good idea!! I never do green as I'm a bit of a carb monster and if given free reign in the carb kingdom would go mad but I def think a few red days could be the kick I need!! I've been trying to introduce some new meals too as I think we'd got a bit stuck in a...

I lost 1.5lb not quite the big loss I was hoping for after a extremely strict week!! But a loss none the less and I'm now less than a stone to target!!!!

3lbs off!!!!! 5 at award achieved, nominated as "miss slinky" and got slimmer of week!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody good week!! Now just need to keep it up!

Chicken and red pepper kebabs with roasted tomatoes green beans couscous and salad.

Yes lower st categories are brilliant! That first number is so important!! Well done on your loss so far!!!I know you will have lost ur gain this week sometimes we get an undeserved gain u'll def c it this week! Yes I agree the worst thing I did was to weigh at home as well as at group. BAD idea...

Sorry to start week with a moan! But I hopped on my bathroom scales this morning and. - nothing! I have been so good this week upped my exercise focused on eating etc. I only need 2 lbs to get my 5 st award. Gggrrrrrrrr. 2 days til official wi. Please let the scales show a loss of some sort...

Just to let u know the white sauce worked out really well! It didn't split and tasted of a cheesy white sauce just no where near as rich as a bechamel in a std lasagne!!!

Baked bean lasagne, potato wedges and salad. Was delicious!!!!!

I'm not sure if it's exactly the one on here but I can share anyway! Bean sauce Using fry lite cook off chopped half red onion, whole leek, 2 carrots, BNS (about a cup full chopped), 1 medium courgette, 5 or 6 mushrooms sliced and 2 cloves garlic. Once softened a little add 2 tablespoons...

Baked bean lasagne packed with superfree veg! And an experimental white sauce!! With salad and BNS wedges. Followed by raspberries and sweetened 0% Greek yog.

Well done Polly! You've worked so hard!!! I think hitting the lower stone bracket is almost better than half and st awards!!! Fab well done!!! I am focused - my husband and kids r away visiting family so in hitting exercise hard (once I finish this cup of coffee!!!) and am having a bit if a cook...

Well1lb off this morning at weigh in. Not bad after a busy half term! But I really need to kick it up a gear so anyone any good suggestions to give me a boost I follow ee or red days and restrict carbs in evening. I'm upping my exercise this week too. And I keep a food diary to track...

1lb off this week. I am gonna be in 11s forever!!!! Still 11st 12lb. Gonna fight hard this week for 2lbs off to get that 5st award!!!

1lb off!

Chicken "fried" cauliflower rice!

Should say ryvita with philli not rub!!!

I try to always have an Allen light to havd to deal with sweet cravings as that's what I get most! But savoury cravings I find a rub it's and a wee bit of philli is good as it's v filling or the new Special K cracker crisps are pretty low in syns and have a great crunch and flavour! At home i...

Ahhhhhhhh dreaded weigh in tomorrow after a weeks holiday ..... Ah so nervous!

Hi ya. We've been away for half term at caravan sorry for not being on here for a while!! A trip away does nothing for hitting my target but I'm back on track now and heading towards the 5st award!!! Was at a kids party on sat and one of my friends who hasn't seen me since June didn't even...

Oh that looks yummy and I'm craving cake at mo. Will def give it a go!!

Ha ha well I thought it might have been a gain as been at caravan for a few days with kids for half term but a quick weigh at home (so technically not official) shows a LOSS of 1.5lbs!!! Whoop whoop! Hope that boosts the stats!!!! Cheers daz for letting me complete the challenge!

Hi sorry I missed my last wi for this month so looks like I didn't make this challenge either:(

Hi. Can I join pls? 7lb for this month!!

Awh thanks girls! I'm not complaining about my size 14 at all I love it!!!!! Even ordered a pair of leggings, jeggings and a pair of long boots! No one tell my hubby tho!!! The new me is emerging slowly and to think last week I was panicking cause I didn't know how to dress any more! I think we...

Fantastic news! Enjoy every minute!

Thanks girls! I know I still have a way to go and size 14 isn't perfect but it's a big change for me! Last time I wore a 14 (briefly) was when I was 19! So 14 yrs on I am very proud of my hard work this year! I started on jan 28th and hope to be at my target of 6st 3lbs by then! Just need to...

We'll girls I bought my LBD today!!!!!!! I'm no where near my target but I just had to have it! I'm still hoping to loose another 10lbs before Christmas but I think that should only help dress! Can't believe it for my anniversary last year I wore a size 22 top and jeans this yr a slinky size 14...

Hi ya! I've just fallen into 11s with a 1lb loss this week! 11st 13lbs! Would love a big push to get near bottom of 11s by Christmas!!!!! Hope everyone is having good weeks?

1lb loss this week! Lower st category whoop whoop!

We'll girls I did it 11st 13lb! Not the dramatic loss I'd hoped for but good enough to get be into next stone! It's been great in this forum best of luck to u all and looking forward to seeing u all in the 11s !

Yeah I just grate it and boil in pan water til tender. I add flavour and salt depending on what I'm having it with so pilau spice if with curry or lemon and herbs if with salad etc. but u need to like cauliflower no good if u don't!

I love cauliflower rice! Had it tonight as chicken fried rice but with cauliflower rice instead of normal! So yummy and superfree!

Left over roast chicken spicy fried cabbage crunchy baked spicy cauliflower a couple of sweet potato wedges! Yum

Wow u have all given me so many ideas! I think I may try to get hubby to look after kiddies this sat afternoon and I'll take a couple of hrs in town just looking and trying on. It seems so odd that I should go into all the shops to find clothes! I love thought of getting bargains in charity...

Fillet steak, sw chips green beans and a touch of pepper sauce (3syns) with a glass or 2 of prosecco! Love saturdays!

Oh I'm gonna give that a go! I just have no idea where to start! I have always hated shopping! But now keep getting urges to go but I'm so used to having the 2 or 3 shops which might have a size to fit me! It's a daunting task where there's so many! Never thought I'd find it such a problem!!!

Now I'm coming up to 5st off I have no idea how to dress! My old "uniform of jeans, black tops of varing styles just doesn't feel right any more! I'm now a small 14 which I never thought I would be! Still with another st and half to go I hope to slip into size 12's but what to buy? Money is...

The alpen lights choc orange flavour are only 19p each in home bargains! And Very Yummy! Now I need to go back and get more!

Whoop whoop I popped back to ny old town today bumped into a mum from the old school u couldn't believe my weightloss! Motivation found again! Bring on that 5st award!

Well done talisha! Polly I'm with u, my losses r slowing down, only 1/2lb off this week. My Christmas target feels a long way off! Esp with hurdles like half term (away in caravan!) And my wedding anniversary! Inbetween to enjoy but also to stunt my weightloss! I'm so close to my final target...
