Ahh Sophie - i used to say all sorts to my mum when i was younger "i hate you" "i wish i lived in a different family" and the classic "you're a horrible mum" and i always thought it was just obvious that i was having a tantrum but i remember one day when i was 16 or 17 i was out having a girly...

Heyy Stephanie - well done you're doing fab - haha its sad that most of us have done the diet before and are now having to do it again but oh well - lets make this time the last! Its funny what you said that you lost 6 stone but still felt just as big: I once got down to 8 stone 6 and still...

Heyy Ruthlet - seems like just a couple of days ago that i was eagerly awaiting my 1 week weigh in and this morning was my 1 month mark! Props to you for starting out again after clearly a hard time in your life - the toughest thing is to get the courage to actually do it and you're already...

Heyy - weigh in day today and managed to offset last weeks binge - now 11 stone 1 :) - so that means my total 1 month loss is 19lbs! Really happy: I definitely feel slimmer and i looked at some photos I took of myself day 2 and I look MUCH better now so really chuffed. Will be a tough week...

Hey Sophiesophs - I think that's a great idea - i told you last week I'd binged and that was full on carbs/sugar etc. for 3 days and although i put on weight that week, this mornings weigh in I'd lost 5lbs (-3.5lbs from my weight the week before the binge) so it really doesn't matter for one...

Thanks Fraufrau and tlbanks - fully back on track now :) hope you enjoy the wedding on Sunday Fraufrau and yeah totally 1 day at a time and before you know where you are a week has gone by! I'll post again on Tuesday with this weeks weigh in and hope you all have good rest of weeks xxx

Ahh well done! A whole month of consistent big losses - I'm so jealous! (though I know it is because you've worked so hard and I could only hack 2 weeks before a 3 day binge) - 3lbs as your minimum loss all month is fab - good luck for next week!

Well done all! Blimey resisting temptation on a hen night is some achievement! I caved this week and binged for 3 days solid right before weigh in (smart...) so I was up 1.5lbs this week. So stupid! But i think once i was off it and out of ketosis i thought "oh i'll just make the most of it"...

Heyy Sophie - you are doing a fab job not to have broken the diet at all yet! I just had a party on Friday (alcohol then cheesy chips were consumed) then went home for the weekend and completely gave in: had chips, pizza, chocolate etc.etc - basically a 3 day binge. I felt awful and it was...

Thanks - just had weigh in and have lost another 5.25lbs this week :) so total weight loss is 15.5lbs (in 2 weeks!) Of course it will slow down now but I'm literally bouncing off the walls I'm so happy x

down another 5.25lbs this week :D - I'm now officially over a stone down! In 2 weeks!!

Hey all - I'm new and have literally spent the past hour and a half trawling through this thread! Made me laugh and I think its so sweet you're all friends and support each other! I have been on ss for 2 weeks tomorrow (weigh in day ahh!) I can't believe how long some of you have done it for but...

Haha d'ya know I didn't even think of it in terms of stone! Can't believe I could lose a stone in 2 weeks! Anyway I know how you feel about the food delusions: I keep having dreams that I'm eating pizza and chips and burgers but then I wake up and feel mildly guilty like I've actually eaten...

Heyy Sophie - I've been following your thread and thought I should introduce myself rather than be some weird cyber stalker. I started the diet 5 days after you and Love your posts - all exactly how I feel just a couple of days before so I know I'll pull through (those first few sleepless nights...

Well done everyone! I just started 9 days ago and lost 10lbs week 1! My weigh in day is Tuesday - hopefully seeing you guys lose the weight will spur me on and I'll post up my weight losses

Haha thanks guys! Just a shame about the diet :( tomorrow is the start of a new week! Gunna give it my allxxx

You're very welcome :) and of course - although I am very short and generally don't need that many calories so it doesn't add up to the 2000 calories we're apparently supposed to have, i just know that is too much for me! Anyway: Breakfast - I'm not a breakfast person really - like you - so...

Ugh poor you - when you put in the work but the scales don't play ball its such a pain! The advice I'll give is pretty standard but here goes: 1 - breakfast! It kick-starts your metabolism so before you eat it, you don't metabolize properly and lose less weight. If you REALLY can't face it...

Thanks for the advice about the milk! Yay i can have tea again!! Okay confession time: going out and having alcohol was a VERY bad idea! I couldn't control my hunger and had cheesy chips on the way home, then yesterday i thought "oh well I'm already out of ketosis" and went MENTAL like literally...

arghh today's been tough! Been good in terms of what I ate but think I've had about 300000 calories today! Thinking i really want to go out and have a couple of drinks - any advice on what to drink? I have weigh in on Monday so a good couple of days to recover...will anything not take me out of...

Thanks thanks - I have been finding keeping up with the water tough - need to pee 24/7 its so embarrassing! Yummy yummy steak for dinner though so I'm not complaining really - easiest diet I've ever been on! xxx

well done for sticking to it! I am having the miserable week 2 of losing almost nothing...half an lb in 4 days and I'm trying so hard! We'll get there xxx

I did Cambridge for 3 weeks and lost about 16lbs and then, same as you - piled it on again :( 7 weeks must have been hell - i was dying after 3! My second week of Atkins too - not sure i've lost anything so far really, like half an lb but i did lose 6.5 lbs last week so that's keeping me going...

Vodka and diet coke? low in carbs and lower in cals?

Defo defo - that's what so great about these diaries - I think i am guilty of weighing myself everyday, I know I shouldn't but just can't help it I get so curious! Good luck for Saturday...I have to weight till Mon for my official weigh in - wish the days would go faster! Amanda xxx

Heyy Vicky I just wanted to say Hiya because I have been stalking your diary lol, also think we're in a similar early bird phase of the diet - sad to hear you're not doing amazing -me neither! I lost well in my 1st week but have barely lost anything so far this week :( Never mind, it will come...

Blimey that is a long day! Hope the next few days go well - I'm only on week 2 and seem to suddenly be losing weight at a snails pace too :( - so if you gather any more advice on how to jump the weight loss up a gear I am all ears! The water is a pain when you're working because you need to pee...

And thanks Sam :) Am trying my best! Couldn't help but sneak peak at the scales and I'm defo losing slower this week - only half a lb down in 3 days *sigh* but never mind! Half an lb is half an lb plus its SO much easier this week than last - and have got another 12 weeks to go after this week...

Thanks Pauline - close one!

Totally true about the atkins bars! You an get chocolate brownie ones for phase 1: literally so chocolaty and filling...you can do this! xxx

Heyy welcome back! 16lbs is insane so well done! You could try splitting your 2 meals into 4 smaller ones - you know what they say, little and often, higher metabolism. Also being strict with the water? One of my friends did a similar diet to atkins and stopped losing weight for a couple of...

How much milk are you allowed on Atkins? I live for my coffees and teas but have been wary of them as I'm unsure as to the rules? xxx

3 cups of water probably isn't enough - I drink about 4 litres! not that I know REALLY - like you I'm self taught - but this is what i've heard because the more you drink the more ketones (calories from fat) you wee out. Anyway if you get really bored there are some protein noodles called...

Susie and Kat1e - Thank you so much for pointing me in the direction of those 'stickies' - so helpful (as I am totally a '1 can't hurt' kinda gal) from now on i will be on the ultimate strict! Amanda xx

Thank you! Indeed Indeed here's to a good second week - you lost 8lbs in your 1st week?!?! Great effort girl! Although are you finding its true what they say about the bad breath...? Yikes

You look absolutely stunning! To look at you now you'd never guess you'd ever had weight issues or that you'd even be at all nervous to get in a bikini! A real inspiration - hope i can get there before Summer xxx

Heyy - newbie here Sorry really took a while to figure out this website - this post ​may be under a number of different threads/blogs/posts (i'm awful with technology!) Anyway... I NEED to shred some of this xmas weight (and of course the weight i accumulated in the months before that) as I...

eyy - newbie here I NEED to shred some of this xmas weight (and of course the weight i accumulated in the months before that) as I reached 11 stone 6! I am 5 ft 2 and, knowing my body, this is just a crazy weight for me and sends my BMI into nearly 30 (obese) - not the one for a 20 year old...
