Day.... lost count! So back after Xmas. Stagnated for a few weeks prior to the Xmas break but did manage to eventually drop another 2lbs taking me to 15t2lbs for the Xmas week. Managed to put on 5 lbs over about 10 days but on my first day back at work, I was back down to 15st2lbs...

Day 100 Officially the longest I have ever stuck to a diet. After my October relapse, I'm back on track and as of this morning, I'm 15 st 4 lbs. I tried my wedding dress on last saturday and in July when I first selected it, there was a 3 inch gap in the lace up panel because I was too big for...

Day 75. Gosh what a long time to be away! Between work, flu, home, family and just general life, I haven't had the time to come on and update. I have still been doing Atkins though truth be told not religiously since about 3 weeks ago. I had managed to get down to 15st 7 lbs which was a huge...

Day 34 So it was my birthday yesterday. 29. It was good, lots of people remembered, got loads of lovely presents and didn't end up in A&E (massive improvement on last year!). But the best gift of all? Was the one I gave to my self. No longer 17st 1lb, oh no, this year I was 15st 10lbs. I have...

Thanks for the sweet treats tips everyone. I shall give them all a go and see if any work for me. Kimmi1982, hurrah another wedding slimmer! Dec 2015 for me but I'd like to be at my goal by my sisters wedding in July if not Christmas this year. Do you find the wedding is a strong motivator? I've...

Thanks Kat1e and sammy1. I do have a couple of questions, what can you recommend for induction phase as an after dinner sweet treat. I'm still feeling like I need something sweet after dinner. I think perhaps because I'm not having sugar anywhere else since I don't drink anything but water. Do...

Day 14 So it's the end of the second week of induction. I'm delighted to say that as of this morning I'm 225lbs again. As a result of my bad decisions and unpreparedness last weekend, I put on 4lbs and it wasn't until Thursday they started shifting again. But I have learnt my lesson. Last...

Day 8 So this weekend has been a struggle. Family reunion so food was a huge focus. I had massively underestimated how I was going to continue Atkins over this period and have suffered for it. I've tried to make the best choices I could but as I wasn't in control of the food, I did get caught...

Day 5 B = Chocolate Atkins shake L = Prawn salad (romaine, tomato, avocado, spring onion, cucumber, prawns, mayo, salt) D = Trout cooked in butter, broccoli with 4 oz melted cheddar, mushrooms and peas. Never really been one for snacking but find I'm getting cravings for sweet things after...

So it's Day 3 of being on Atkins and already I've gone from 232.5 lbs to 229.25 lbs. I've not had an energy level dip like I was anticipating based on other people's comments but I do feel weak at several points throughout the day and I am feeling queasy after eating for about an hour. I suspect...
