Sorry I haven't been on. My brother took a bad turn. I can't say my head has been in the diet or that I'm on plan but I've been eating healthy. Pretty much nocount. Apart from a few hospital lattes ( M&s cafe with skimmed milk) I did weigh this morning after over a week on nocount and I dropped...

So you teach? It must be hard to work with children in this weather. I find heat brings out the moody side of children lol

That's great that she helps. Rosie just finds peppa pig themed food and puts it in the trolley, last time she walked into the bakery. She'll sit in trolly most the way around. Reaches that far to grab something off a shelf, I'm scared she'll fall out. I get lots of smiles from people laughing at...

Just had 7pp IceCream (which isn't much) with banana

Tesco are trying to sabotage my diet. All the wholewheat free on nocount good (pasta, bread, noodles) replaced with white. Same calories but not allowed on nocount. So pointing days this week. I recently started doing online shopping because it's impossible to do it on my own with my daughter...

Your weight transformation is amazing. You must feel so much more confidence.

My healthy shopping is put away....so much veg!!! Somehow the peanut butter IceCream made it into the shop.......I craved this through my whole pregnancy and never had any. Because the shop never had it in stock. So it's been over 2years....I got some haha! Really high in points, so I've had...

I'm not feeling great today. I try not to let worldwide news get to me because there is nothing we can do to stop what is happening. What happened in Nice Thursday night has really scared me. I have spent the last 10 years before having my daughter travelling the world with my husband. 3...

15g Granola with 75g Day free yogurt......Snack = 2sp

Terrible 2's? I think that started a year ago. She's a good girl really, I can't complain but she's had her own mind and tantrums for at least 6 months. It's hard work at times but I have to stick to my mummy rules and not let her get her own way at all times. She's called Rosie, what about your...

Great 2lbs lost. Hope you had a good night out. Did some alcohol creep in? Hope your not feeling it today.

1lb gain is nothing, could even be water. Sound like your doing great. How long have you done ww?

She's 2 in a month!!! Breakfast Frankie and Bennys - Wholegrain Toast x 2, 3 poached eggs and mushroom and tomato. I'm classing that as free plus my oil allowance incase they used it on mushrooms. Had herbal tea instead of coffee Lunch Banana & Fat free Yogurt. Wasn't hungry as we had...

Yup throw it all in. I love fruit in salad. I make my own dressings. Recently I pour olive oil in a olive oil jug with chillis, fresh herbs, garlic, pepper or whatever I feel like trying. I just add enough for a week or so. Then you get 2tsp of oil on nocount for free. So that's a free dressing...

Which chilli paste do you use? I love spicy food. I want make more stirfrys and my husband hates spice. I usually just cook a big pan, take his out and then throw some chilli in for me. But this paste sounds interesting. I hate chopping chilli.

Food pics look great!! Good luck for tomorrow. So you weigh in at home or group?

He's struggling physically but more so mentally. I can't really see him much as my daughter isn't allowed on the ward. She's having a 'I only want mummy phase' Today Banana Pancakes with berries on the side, Large almond milk latte Chicken and Bacon salad with mango, pomegranate and side...

Choc shot from Holland and Barratt. Buy one get one half price. I got the coconut flavour. Almond milk is free on nocount if it's unsweetened. Sorry for no updates. I'm actually still on plan. My brother is in hospital and my mind is elsewhere I guess.

Summer Holidays for you......is hooray!!! For me.....everywhere gets too busy to take my toddler and no playgroups are on!!! I am excited for some nice summer weather though. Just put an offer in on a house, so may spend it packing :)

Arej Paw pineapple rings from a tin? If so do they taste like fresh pineapple? If they so I might buy some tinned :)

Day 1 Breakfast - 2 x eggs, mushrooms, spinach and yogurt Lunch - Chicken Salad, Dressing made with my oil allowance and lemon. 1 x Brown sandwich thins with flora liht (1p) Dinner - Roast Chicken with broccoli, cauliflour, sprouts and gravy (2p) Snacks - Hot Choc made with almond milk and...

4 working days till???? Not sure about the curry. I'd say it depends on the type. Creamy will be more than tomatoey.

So I actually start tomorrow. I've continued on Atkins today but upped my carbs to 40g. I thought it was best I went shopping before begining nocount. Otherwise I would have struggled with the ingredients I had. So I have a full fridge and I'm ready to go tomorrow morning. So here I...

Your food looks great, especially the meringue. :)

The longest diary EVER. There is no way I can read 577mobile pages and catch up on your journey, but I'm here to follow. It looks like you are doing well and winning at the dieting game.

Popping by the follow your diary. I was just admiring your signature. That is just amazing. Not even 1 sts. Well done!

Hi everyone. I've been following the Atkins Diet for 7 weeks, my old diary is here: https://www.minimins.com/threads/in-it-to-slim-it-atkins-plan.355062/ I'm doing really well, feel great, losing weight, no hunger and exercising more. I feel a bit bad about switching because I really do feel...

I just feel terrible. I'm eating plenty of calories, enough carbs 30-35g, lots of healthy fats. I'm losing weight. I just lack energy so bad. I'm not sure what to do, as this has been 4 or 5 days. Which is why my carbs are up to 35g. My husband is saying I should start eating 'normal again' but...

Good luck @steff92xx I'm not going to lie, it's difficult to begin with. Then day 3/4 something happens, no hunger, cravings and it just become easy. I'm still learning myself but if you need any help or advice let me know. Stick with green veg, seems to have less carbs. I used spinach in...

Oh and did you know peanuts are not a nut, they are a legume. So I can't have peanut butter yet booo

Good Thanks. I'm just exhausted. 3lvs down this week so far, I've increased my carbs by 5g Enjoying the nuts.

Insanity done. My daughter had her first ever lie in lol Starting to feel fitter and stronger. I can still only do 8 push ups though.

I'm completely exhausted this week. I'm eating plenty. I could just sleep right now if I could

Pulled pork was a huge success. I've made loads. It may be a staple for the next few days haha!! Unless I freeze it?

What a boring day. My mum had my daughter all day so I could work. I'm a surface pattern designer and I love what I do. I have a few places where I earn a passive income and the rest freelance. I've avoided a website for far too long.....way too long. So today I started. It isn't hard, it's just...

Thanks @Mini I so feel great. I've been pestering my husband for another baby for about 6 months. Now he said last night he's ready wooop! I said let's start trying when my bmi goes below 30 (overweight and not obese) it's currently 31.5. So I've got that to work for. I don't think I'd do...

I lost 5lbs this week. I weighed myself 3 times and also got my husband to weigh himself to make sure the scales were working. Really happy and pleased. Although I'm really questioning this diet and my ability to stick to it long term. I've managed to fit it in with lots of social occasions...

Forgot the photo

I made chocolate bark. Cacao, coconut oil and sweetener. Tastes good. Split it into 3 small batches 17.3g fat, 1.7g carbs, 1.3g protein, 163 calories. Suited my period chocolate craving just fine. I've hidden the other two lots behind the kale. The chocolate tastes good, would be nice mixed...

Thanks Hun. I just got back and weighed myself quickly. I'm clothe red, had water and a biggest breakfast and on my period and I weigh the same as the morning I left, naked in an empty stomach. So I've moved onto the next rung but will stay on 25g for now. I've skipped dairy because it's...

Can you believe I've been eating this way about a month. How crazy. I can't believe I've done it.

Week 5 I'm still at the hotel this morning, so unsure whether to move to 30g carb and the next rung. I'll weigh tomorrow morning and decide. But... Look at the photo, my waist is defined. Yup my thighs are huge and my arms need toning, but can you see my waist goes in. Also I did a full body...

I've been on plan today but not much veg. 27k steps including 78floors. This place has loads of hills. My daughter had a ripely IceCream in a pot and left lots and I was almost going to eat it but I didn't woo me. So breakfast lunch and snacks took me to 7g carbs, so I had 18g left. I ordered...

Mmm Jamie's Italian was delicious. I ordered the chicken dish for 8g carbs and seasonal greens for 2g. Think I was over by about 3g carbs yesterday which is fine. Lots of walking planned for today and my husband who is doing a 65mile charity bike race this morning has decided to treat himself...

This salad is huge to fill me up until I eat out tonight. Spinach, pepper, onion, courgette, Brie, olives, tuna. The veg was roasted in spices and coconut oil. Which kind of acted as a dressing too. I LOVE the taste of coconut oil. I haven't had any in so long, as before Atkins I could use too...

Finally lost that 1lb gain and another 1lb. So -2lb overnight. What did I do differently.....no exercise. Not going to stop working out. My cycle started this mornings too. I usually lose after a few days on af. Will do my 4th weigh in on Tuesday morning once I'm back from a family weekend.

I bout some olives that are in a plastic wallet and dont need to refrigerated. Some nuts I have weighed into 2 little bags. Im not officially allowed nuts yet but it is better than other options. They I just think i can go to m&s and buy a plain salad and some meat if I'm stuck, they even do...

Saturday - Brekfast and lunch at home, leave house 1ish. Booked Jamies Italian for evening https://www.jamieoliver.com/italian/menu/mains-and-sides/ some meals under 10g carbs on the main menu. Monday - Brekfast at hotel ahould fill me up until I'm home at 1/2ish. So I only have one day to...

Think I'll give the plan one more week because I know I'm doing it right. I read that in week 3/4 your body is adjusting to being low carb and you gain the water weight back that you lost during induction. Don't know if that's true. I need some advice: I'm away for 2 nights (sat/sun night) with...

Good Luck! Are you back at the start on induction?

@paigesmum30 im pretty much still on induction. I did two weeks on 20g and lots a lot. I added 5g of extra veg and have spent almost 2 weeks on 25g. I'm following the book. Even down to limiting cream/cheese. I'm getting enough fat. I'm tracking every mouthful I eat. I've given up diet drinks...

......need to stay strong. Still on track, but starting to feel demotivated after no change in the scale in almost 2 weeks.

Welcome Back. Are you following Atkins again?

I weighed myself last night, which I don't usually do. I was like yay I weigh the same as this morning whoop! Then this morning weighed the same. I'm super hungry even after 2 breakfasts......looked at my calendar and af due in the next few days!!! It all makes sense. The diet says eat until...

Well my weight hasn't budged but I woke up starving. I've just eaten breakfast and I'm still really hungry. I checked ketosis because I've not been hungry since I started and it's dark pink so I'm all good. I might go make a coffee with cream and see if that helps.

I feel better this afternoon. I've made pork burgers (like sausage patties) all ready to cook for later. Pork mince, onion, spices, garlic, an egg and flax meal to help bind. They smell wonderful. Can't wait to cook them. There was 500g mince and it's only made 6 hefty burgers. I will have 2...

Oh wow! This is how I used to feel every morning before Atkins. Stomach ache, feel sick, burping, feel like I'll need a toilet dash soon.

Not sure I have the hide option. I'm on iPhone. I'll check. Dairy I have a feeling I struggle with dairy. I've been drinking almond milk for years. This morning I thought I'd have a full fat Greek yogurt 3.2g carbs for the pot. I'm sat here feeling sick, with a stomach ache. So I'm not sure...

You just need to get too it. Procrastinating never helps. I can't say I enjoy working out at the moment but I know it makes me feel better. I used to be super fit and loved it. When your already thin you notice the change, defined muscles etc. But I'm finding being overweight I can't see the...

Insanity is hard. My Fitbit has me burning loads of calories which is good but my legs KILL. It feels like they don't get a chance to rest. I better see results. I want a 6 pack like the people on their website. My aim is my 6 pack will be there waiting for me once my fat goes.

Found a chicken, bacon and leak in a creamy sauce for £2 in M&s today reduced. Half the pack (1 breast) 2.3g carbs. Tasted really nice, had it with broccoli, spinach, courgette noodles and avocado mmmm yum. Today Calories 1330 Carbs 22g Tempted to make a hot chocolate using almond milk...

Ditto. There are a few low carb diets. I keep seeing something about keto. I like that Atkins you control your carb intake and increase it over time. So by the time your at goal, you really know your own body and what you can eat. I don't want to be tracking every mouthful in a years time!

Thanks @Marysu glad to know you've been in same boat. Makes me think I'm doing it right. Even if I wasn't doing Atkins i'm still eating 1600calories ish, so there is no reason to gain. So I just need to chill. It's nice not to be constantly hungry.

So I made my flax bread on a plate as suggested, it was enough for 2 plates. The first came out good, will use for a pizza. The 2nd was cooked too long and is like crispbread. Cream cheese and salmon I'm thinking. @Kat1e i'm gonna try your recipe one I have yeast

So these size 16 jeans (new look, so more like a 16/18) were tight the last time I more them. They gave me a red mark from being right. Now they fit perfect and the bum section is baggy and.....even better......they have just been washed! Happy!

Weigh in - 1lb gain I looked online last night and it seems a week 3 or 4 sts or stall is normal. Now the body has adjusted to being in ketosis it is begining to add back the water weight lost during induction. Going to continue week 4 on 25g carbs. I still feel great and in ketosis. I have as...

Thanks @Kat1e I was having a moment yesterday. Cycle isn't due for a while, I just felt like that sort of day. Day 21 Went out for a friends birthday lunch today and I did well. It was a trendy bar that sell amazing food and cocktails. Everything didn't seem Atkins friendly, or seemed covered...

My weight is still stuck grrrr.. So I'm under 1600 calories each day and under 25g carbs. I start a new week next week. Instead of moving to 30g, should I stay where I am at 25g or go back down to 20g

Omg! I'm having a melt down. I swear my period is in its way, i'm emotional and annoying, not due for over a week. So all I'm doing is going out to shops and then to get my daughters first hair cut. Nowhere special and I just can't find anything to wear. I just feel fat in everything. I'm over...

I weigh myself each day. Looks like I'm heading for a stay the same when I weigh in Monday (currently 0.5lb gain) I've been under 25g carbs each day and I'm under 1600 calories each day. So I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I heard when you exercise more (insanity!!!!) your body holds onto...

I've been looking up foods I can't have and noticed some alcohol is 0g carbs. Is that right? I'm a few weeks away from adding alcohol. I don't really drink. Only 2 or 3 times a year. But I really felt like a ice cold alcoholic drink yesterday.

Non scale victory. My wedding ring fits. I took them off while I was pregnant. Then they fit after I had my daughter. Then I started getting fat when she was 6 months. I took my wedding ring off when she was 14months and haven't worn it since. My engagement ring fitted me still. Now my wedding...

The pizza. Tasted so yummy.

Cloud bread I made 5 small circles and one big circle. They were quite crumbly. Not sure if that's how they are supposed to be or if I cooked them too long. They hold their shape though. I used the big one as a pizza base for lunch, which salad. Kept the smaller ones for another time.

Day 19 Started the day with 2 x egg, salmon, avocado, rocket, siracha, bootea and a few slices of pepperoni. Insanity I gave my daughter the iPad to play with so i could get a workout in while I was relatively full. I did Day 1 yesterday as I was shocked at how out of shape I was yesterday. It...

I shouldn't weigh each and every morning. I've completely stalled these past few days grrr. Maybe my body is adjusting to the 10 and a half lbs I lost so far. Anyway this is when I become weak on a diet, when the results stop. I must stay strong.

I might try cloud bread tomorrow, although it has the potential to be disastrous.

Hi there, Not many of us on the Atkins board right now. I'm Sarah from Licolnshire England, with a similar weight and similar to lose. I'm on week 3, finding it really easy to stick to and ketosis is great as I'm never hungry. I have a diary on the diary page if you want to follow, you should...

That's my lunch. Spinach, avocado, tuna (I had the whole tin as the workout was exhausting) censor dressing, tiny bit Mayo, olives, then a threw a chopped up boiled egg on top. Yikes. Oh and Brie. Seems quite calorific. Maybe I should workout after I eat haha!! And chicken in the slow cooker...

Thanks. Will check your website. Am I crazy Today I start the workout DVD my brother has leant me.....it's called insanity and it's really hardcore stuff. I'm scared. But rather than just doing a workout when I can be bothered, I will follow the set schedule and hopefully lose inches and gain...

Oh and as I'm on the computer doing some work and now on here. My husband has been watching the football. He's had .....2 smartie cookies, a crunchie, banana and tango. As well as the tuna pasta bake he had 2 hours ago. He has NO FAT. He does exercise, and does super long bike rides, so I can't...

I can't have chocolate yet. So I have that to look forward to. I bought some raw cacao the other day because my sister told me it was a superfood and that I need it, better than cocoa. She's a health nut and works in a health shop. The only reason I bought this one is because its a ingredient in...

Will give that a go thanks. It's such a simple recipe. I'm shocked it works and makes bread.

Day 17 Hmm so I'm still waiting for the shopping, will be here in half an hour. So I've been managing quite well today on limited supplies apart from......I caved. I had a protein bar from my husbands sports energy box. It's only 2.2g carbs per bar and tastes delicious lol but it's my first...

I need to have a BBQ....meat, salad and coleslaw. Yea!! When the sunshine arrives. I've not even looked at carbs in alcohol yet.

Thanks!!! Bit tired tonight, had a busy day. My Fitbit broke :( but I rang them half an hour ago and even thought is 18montja old, they are sending me a replacement in a new colour as they didn't have the colour I have now. Yay. And Tesco shop arrives tomorrow. I'm so happy as today I have...

At 230lbs Then Same dress at 225lbs. I tried it this morning and it no longer stretches cross my stomach. Breakfast this morning was pancakes! Made with egg, cream cheese, baking powder and stevia. Unfortunately i couldn't have berries with them, but they will taste lovely with berries in a...

@Marysu Thanks for the recipe page. Some of the bread / muffin recipes look interesting. I probably won't be bothered most the time but it's good for a change/treat. Yesterday I went slightly over on carbs to 26g, and had more calories than usual 1765. But weighed this morning and was 1.5lbs...

Day 15 I've made cottage pie with cauliflour mash on top for tea yum!! Got a few hours before I eat but I already know it's going to be really tasty. I've been looking online for recipes and.....Atkins is really confusing. I'm following he old book I think. There is 'the new Atkins' 'atkins20'...

Induction Over 9lbs down. When you read about Atkins online people lose 14lbs plus over the first 2 weeks. I'm still happy. I've eaten loads of veg and been very close to 20g carbs most days, and my macro ratios look spot on in terms of fat/protein naturally. I've not been hungry and I'm ready...

Bloat check I would say most my bloat seems to have gone and I'm just left with fat. I no longer look 30 weeks pregnant, I now look 12 weeks pregnant lol Slowly getting there. Feel way to excited about an extra 5g of carbs tomorrow. Feels like more than it is really. My side stomach at 227lbs

Day 14 My last day of induction So far I've lost 9lbs on Atkins. It's pretty cool. I haven't told people I am doing the diet, other than my husband. I saw some old work colleges yesterday. None of them mentioned weight loss but..2 of them separately mentioned how glowing I looked. So that is...

Thanks! That's all great advice. I'm really excited to move onto more carbs and newer foods. I've not had many snacks but when I have I've been in, so it hasn't had to be snack food. Feel like I need something to keep me motivated, like a recipe blog or Instagram. Day 13 I stupidly weighed...

Yes read all labels.....and really try and eat all the veg. You need to eat 20g carbs per day. If you only having meat and eggs you'll get bored quick. Heck sausages are low carb but have ingredients your not supposed to eat on induction. So it depends if your following Atkins or just doing a...

I got salad instead of chips (the chips behind are my daughters cooling down) So I took the tomato off because I don't like them. Didn't have the dressing because I wasn't sure, I had Mayo instead, then roughly did an estimate for the salad etc. Gammon was nice.

Day 12 Our for lunch today. I've checked the menu and lots of good choices come with sauces I'm not sure of, or may have added carbs in burgers etc. I'm decided on gammon and egg, which comes with mushroom, tomato, salad and chips. I'll give the chips to someone or leave them on my plate. My...

Day 11 I made a really yummy tea tonight and had the curry I've been craving. I did have a little extra cream than allowed but......I've not had much over the past 10 days and I just really wanted a creamy curry. I had with cauliflour rice. Tasty stuff. Calories 1450 Carbs 18g

Thanks @Kat1e I just need to keep going :) I do feel great so it would be silly to stop. It's not even that I feel deprived because I'm making my daughter food I would normally scoff her leftovers, but I'm not even interested. So ketosis is working its magic. Plus later down the line I can have...

Always good when the number goes down :) Enjoy your chicken.

Thanks. I'm definitely having a moment of weakness today. I haven't been off plan and I'm not struggling, not hungry, I haven't gained. In fact I'm 100% on it, have lost more and feel great. I just don't know how long I can keep going. I don't know if it's boredom or fear of failing. I've been...

Hi Hun!! I'm still on plan :) I just wanted to ask a question. I'm doing the plan by following the book. I've not even had a Diet Coke. So I've had to limit cheese and cream during induction. After induction finishes I'm upping my carbs to 25g by adding extra veg. Do I still have to limit the...

Day 10 I shouldn't weigh myself each morning but I do. I'm not at 7.5lba down :) So I've been eating 3 meals without snacks. I'm not even hungry anymore. I still enjoy eating so I look forward to meals and never miss one, but I could probably skip a meal and still not be hungry. I guess that's...

Day 9 I didn't log in my meals yesterday but they all mainly seem to be the tastiest salad ever or meat and veg. However yesterday I made pulled pork. It was a big piece, I thought there would be loads left for lunches. My 21 month old are loads, then my husband had a 2nd helping and some for...

I only got the dress because it was in the sale in new look plus size for £5. I don't think is supposed to stretch across the stomach, I think it's supposed to be loose fit. I'll get there!!! Keep plodding on. All my nice size 12/14 clothes are waiting for me when I shrink. Its strange because...

And this is a photo eeeek. Today at 229.5lbs. I have this dress that pulls over my stomach and makes me look pregnant. I'm hoping to try again in a month and see a flattering fit. So I wanted something to compare with. I can't wear it like this.

Week 1 Done -6.5lbs!!!!! Breakfast Courgette noodles, spinach, tinned fish in tomato. Decaf coffee with cream Really happy with my first 'official' weigh in.

Lunch Was a fail. We went to morrisons and they do a build your own breakfast. So I was gonna get eggs, bacon and mushroom. Then the husband wanted a sandwich and daughter a kids meal. So it was busy and I thought I'm not order if if I'm the only one. So I had the baby bell from my daughters...

Day 7 Almost a week. I weighed myself this morning and got the motivation I needed. 6lbs down in 6 full days. I need to buy some flaxseed today though as suggested by the book, as I haven't been in 3 days yikes!! Breakfast Bacon, egg, mushroom and avocado. First time I've had bacon in ages...

Dinner Cauliflour and Broccoli mash with fish. The mash had some cream cheese in. This is the mash before I put fish on. I've never added broccoli in cauliflour mash before. It came out nice. The photo before the fish. Calories - 1568 Carbs - 19g Steps - 15k Achievement We went for a walk on...

Lunch Spinach, celary, cucumber, Caesar dressing, tuna mayo and a boiled egg, and brie

My fitness pal is good. Just be careful when selecting items as some of it is user input. You can amend your goals to, including calorie, carb, fat, protein goals.

Day 6 - Still on plan Breakfast Salmon, avocado, spinach and 2 eggs The flying Scotsman passes through my villiage this morning. Very impressive. I saw it at York last year but it was still, good to see it on the move. Atkins I must admit I am getting bored. Perhaps because I am following it by...

Football I like football. I folllow it. But my husband is obsessed and will want to watch every game for the next few weeks during the Euros........I'm going to have to start some netflicks box sets I think. Awake I feel awake these past 2 days. My energy is coming back.

Dinner Cauliflower mash with some cheese in and salt. Spinach, mushroom, dressing and steak. The husband had the same but with sweet potato. Cauliflower mash was actually quite nice. Carbs for be day - 18g Calories - 1698 Steps - 7k oops lol

Lunch Another salad. I'm not usually a huge salad eater but since the dressings are so yummy and almost carb free it does make a salad a yummy meal. I'm tracking everything on myfitnesspal and it feels like it would be loads of calories but actually comes just under 400. Today spinach, mayo...

Yoga I've always discounted yoga as to me exercise means sweat but recently I've been doing a class each week. Mainly to get out, socialise and relax. However twice this week I've done a 20 min yoga video off YouTube for stress. It isn't a workout, just stress releasing stretches. Both times...

Breakfast Salmon from a tin, the first time I've ever had it from a tin. With an egg, olives, mayo, spinach and peppers

The pork scratchings smelt like fish. They went in the bin before I even tasted one.

The daily carbs and calories also includes some pork scratchings. I've never had them before ever. I'm a bit worried of what they will taste like but I can have a try tonight.

Lunch Prawn stir fry Dinner Chicken salad with French Brie and Creamy Ceasor dressing + Pepperoni stick Calories - 1687 Carbs 18g Exercise - Gym for 45mins Also a photo of what I have noticed, my resting heart rate is now 53. Has dropped since starting Atkins, back to where it was when I was...

Boredom on a diet I realise I am posting too much but for me it is best to just type out a few words on my phone rather than run to the kitchen for a snack. I wasn't prepared for Atkins in the kitchen department. I don't even have any mayonnaise, limited cheese or bacon so my food choices have...

Day 4 Breakfast Omelette - olive oil, 3 x egg, mushroom and spinach. It's a fat omelette, don't you find that omelettes come out looking better when you actually use oil??? Whenwver I've iaed spray oil they turn into scrambled eggs. I've just not to go egg overboard while doing atkins but after...

Health I wear a Fitbit on. Since doing this diet my resting heart rate has gone from 60 to 55, meaning my heart is working more efficiently (I think). Also my sleep is a lot less restless. That must be the lack of sugar. Best of all the symptoms of ibs have nearly diminished, it is a very...

I like to think I'm superhuman. Dinner Turkey breast with loads of green veg and cauliflour mash made with butter. Snack Olives Total Calories - 1654 Carbs 17g Steps - 12 + Yoga. Made me feel relaxed.

Thanks @Mini it actually feels good to hear that someone else has felt similar. I remember 7/8months after having her that I felt like I had ppd. I remember reading about it and feeling like everything I read rang true. My mum works at the GP surgery as admin and I felt like I couldn't go in and...

Lunch Was early today because I have a yoga class at 2. I wanted dinner to settle. My daughter hasn't had her nap, so my mum will have her hands full for an hour. Lettuce, olives, pepper, tuna (full can) and 30g cheese mixed in with tuna. I had the tuna hot with the cheese melted in. I also...

P. S if you look below this thread there is a section called 'similar threads' might be worth looking through them. Atkins and Dukan don't seem to be as popular as they were 5 years ago, so the boards are quiet.

I think it depends on willpower. I've never read the Dukan book, but don't you get a list of foods that you can have unlimited amounts of during he first phase?? On Atkins you eat when your hungry (unlimited) so you have the carb limit of 20g per day. I don't think either is better than the...

This post is very interesting to me, I've seen a few people similar height and weight to me in completely different sizes. I'm 5ft9.5 16 stone 8lbs I'm in size 16 top and loose 18 bottom. Hourglass shape. At 166lbs I am a size 12. I exercise a lot, so I have defined muscles under this fat.

Day 3 I weighed myself this morning. I need it when I start a diet, it keeps me on track. 4lbs down is great. I know then say it's water weight in the first week but any loss is appreciated. Breakfast Smoked Salmon, Avocado, Spinach and 2 eggs. Yum.

Thanks @Mini I need to keep it up, I've surprised myself. I hope you are doing good, I will find your diary to follow. Realisation So I wasn't sure whether to post about this but I think it's important, to me anyway. I've been feeling down for a while, probably a year, leading to anxiety and...

Getting he first day done and dusted a the hard part. Usually if I make the smallest fail, I give up and start the following day. Day 2 Breakfast Scrambled egg with spinach, cheese and cooked with ghee Lunch Mixed leaf salad with prawns, mushroom, pepper. Prawns cooked in coconut oil Snack...

This sounds awful for you but you will get there. Can your dr refer you to an NHS dietician for advice? A lot of ibs sufferers follow the fodmap but I don't think it's a diet as such. I wouldn't be down about a 3lbs loss on slimming world as many would be happy with this. Do you know your...

That's my random meal, tasted good.

Dinner Chicken, broccoli, garlic, mushroom, onion, spinach cooked with ghee and a small amount of double cream 1422 Calories 19g carbs. I did it!!! Been sipping water all day, hit 12k steps, I feel happy I've not even crept in a cheat such as a Diet Coke or loads of coffee. I feel quite...

Lunch Salad - Lettuce, Cucumber, cooked Mushroom and chopped up burgers. These burgers are from the butchers and have just beef and black pepper. We had 2 left over from yesterday, they tasted nice cold on a salad Tracking People have said myfitnesspal isn't the best for tracking carbs and to...

Thanks @Kat1e and @Mini Ive been told the key is getting in ketosis to remove the cravings. My mum said to avoid all sugar including sweetener to begin with as it will just make me want sugar. So this morning I got the phone call I needed from the Dr. I feel like I have been blaming my weight...

Congratulations on all your success with Atkins!

Hi everyone!! I say everyone but the atkins board doesn't seem active at the moment, that's fine. I mainly want a place to track my food, share my thoughts and look back on it when I need to. The atkins diet seems to be a dated plan at the moment, it no longer seems popular. I did the plan in...

Many Thanks

I see lots of coconut milk used in paleo recipes. Is it the milk from the milk Isle like there is almond milk/soya milk/coconut milk, or is it the tinned coconut milk that is creamy and higher fat?

Well my products have gone and I've had a week following 1200 calories a day and I haven't gained any weight back. I lost 2lb being off slim and save. Grand total 27lbs in 5 weeks. My bmi is now 'healthy' and my size 12s from pre pregnancy fit :)

That's a huge difference in your weight loss pics. Great work!!

I lost 10lbs on week two and another 5 in the past 4 days. That's 27lbs in under 20 days. My bmi is now under 25 so I am a healthy weight. I just can't do it, I feel awful, no energy and dizzy/faint. I've been eating more than I'm allowed as well, by having an extra pack per day. So about 900...

What is in chicken kebabs?

2.2lbs is a fab loss. Great work!!

I also dislike the cottage pie. Let me know if you find something to make it taste good. I have another 3.

I think this may be an option. Welcome to my diary. I forget I have it lol

8 full days. I don't really want to stop everything cos I'm on a diet. I walk her everyday because she sleeps. If I have nowhere to go, I still take her for a 20min walk around the villiage as she will sleep for 2-3 hours once we get in. I was thinking I could add extra calories but wasn't sure.

So after one week I lost 12lbs. I now have a bmi of 27.6 and it was 29.5 I still feel terrible, struggling to cope on this few calories. Today I walk to playgroup and back and that was 4 miles in total, most occasions this is nothing and I never struggled but it made me exhausted and chasing a...

Really struggling, I've stuck to plan 100% no cheats. I'm on day 5. I'm just exhausted and feel so faint. I'm quite a busy person and I'm missing my energy. I'm not hungry, just a faint feeling. Not sure if I can manage my life on 650 per day.

Why do you think you'll struggle to lose?

Hope they are both better soon xx

I was up at 5.45 this morning as my girl has my cough. Got her seen by nurse and her lungs, ears, temp fine. She keeps coughing and waking herself up. Managed to wait until now to have breakfast. Scrambled egg. Think I made it wrong. I measured the water out in my electronic liquid measure...

Hope your little one is better soon xxx

You look fab! I need to find a dress for a wedding. Tempted to buy it now so I will have to be that size by then. I'm not sure I'd be able to avoid food and drink at a wedding so good work.

Wi this morning to see how 2 full days under 700 calories was. Gained 2lbs. I know this isn't possible as I haven't cheated. Either my first period due after 16months is coming. Or being poorly has made me retain water. Anyway motivation decreased lol

Huss looked on exante website and they have gooey chocolate pudding as a meal option and pizza mix......might head on over when my 4 weeks of s'n's finish. Same principle isn't it, just keeps it fresh.

If you like coffee the cappuccino flavour is a option. I'm gonna heat it up and add an extra shot of coffee.

Do you guys like the bars? I'm wishing I just ordered shakes and meals and not the bars. I've only tasted 2 types though.

To be honest 10 weeks in I'm sure anyone will be bored. I still have lots of flavours to try and wi etc so still excited Are you thinking of doing another vlcd?

Omg what a week to start a diet. Flu seems to have gone but have a horrible cough. Not had a period since Nov 2013 as I only stopped breastfeeding 6 weeks ago. But I swear it's coming. I feel so bloated and have a stomach ache...bleugh My baby had an appointment today and we had to walk, also...

Cappuccino Shake for breakfast was okay, think I'll warm it up next time so is like a latte. Took girl to baby group and as we left I have 2 bites from the honey bar. Then lunch was Spag Bol. I either put too much water in or it was very soupy. Anyway it tasted quite nice to be honest and the...

How are the dietshack products? I thought about getting some items and mixing them up a bit with sns so I have more options as they are very similar in calories and carbs.

Day one - Done Stuck to my plan and I am feeling hungry at the moment but I have a tea or coffee with milk to have shortly. Another 27 days of this.....I'm sure I can do it. I hope I am less hungry as the days go on.

Just a little question, do you have a shake shaker. They put one in my order for free. What's the metal thing inside it?

Oh wow! So much weight lost by both of you. If I reach 6lbs in my first week I'll be happy. Then 3lbs a week would be good.

My little girl fell asleep on me while watching TV. She never does that, usually sleeps in pram after a walk or her Cot. So I never had lunch. Just checked and my delivery is 30mins away...I'm starving but gonna have a coffee while I wait for 30 mins :)

What did you lose on your first week s'n's?

Haha. I'm gonna try and weigh once a week but I don't think I'll last that long.

I don't think I can last that long, so that could be a good idea. I have some salad and chicken, so might have that. I'd probably just wait if I wasn't feeling so poorly today.

Oh dear......between 3 and 4!!!

Congrats on the size 12s :) I've got the 'Yoga Meltdown' DVDs by Jillian Michaels. It's yoga but faster with weights etc. Starting that tomorrow I think. Do a pram walk each day so my little girl has a sleep, thought I could do a faster version of that.

She was born 30th August. Currently trying to crawl, loves food and hates milk. Says Mama and gives the best hugs ever :) I've started today so hopefully will see some results in the coming weeks. I really need a quick fix, like an instant weight loss to keep me motivated enough to continue.

Day 1 Weight = 199.5lbs :( Bmi = 29.5 = Overweight :mad: Size = 16 So i've got up and had a low carb, healthy breakfast, an omlette. I'm just going to wait patiently for my order to arrive and hope it is around lunch and not towards the end of the day. My planned day. Breakfast - Omlette with...

Booo... day one and I feel rubbish. Achy, Flu, tired, my head hurts each time I cough. Still excited for my parcel to arrive.

I ordered one of each bar, and 2 of some, then they added 15free bars. So in total I get 28 bars.

Looks good, hunger petrifies me, I'm going to need to drink more hot drinks to fill me up. Do you ever do anything else with your bars, there seems to be recipes for cakes etc

Hiya, I start tomorrow and I also have a little lady. She's 6months 2 weeks. I only gained 7lbs while pregnant. Then 2 stone in the last 6 months. I'm pretty fit and health wise everything seems to be good, I can run and do everything I could always do. But I want to lose the weight to look...

I start tomorrow and I'm petrified I'm going to be starving all day. I'm pretty active and love food :)

Wahoo my box arrives tomorrow. I will hold off on the pram walk until it arrives. Excited. I'm sure in a week I won't be excited by dehydrated pasta lol

Hi, I'm doing lifestyle as I wanted to be able to eat with my family each night. I also don't have loads to lose, so I thought I'd give myself a break. Although now I'm thinking it's harder as I have to think of super low calorie meals. Great news on the 3lbs!!! Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks. I'm gonna need all the motivation and support I can get. Especially after nights like last night. I have such a good little girl, she's slept through the night since 4 weeks old and she was breastfed until 5 months. Last night was the first she woke and I'm exhausted, she was hot and...

Oh no....what have I let myself in for. Just playing with the planner on their website. After a bar, shake, meal, I have 160 calories left. If I add 100g of chicken and some veg I'm already over 700. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I'd give Ripped in 30 a go, much better than 30 day shred. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

P.S I can run.....I did a 10k for charity as I was forced lol but I hate it!! I find exercise classes are fun and you meet people of all sizes and fitness levels. Just go to the back to begin with so you feel less self conscious and then work your way forward :) Sent from my iPhone using...

Bit late on this post but thought I'd reply. My brother lost a lot of weight, he was over 20stone, he doesn't know how much but after 2 months of dieting he was 20s. He was very unfit and started by doing more in the house, like he left the remote at the other side of the room, he made himself...

I love the Jillian Michaels DVDs. 30 Day shred if your a beginner, Ripped in 30 for more advance. They are great as only 30mins. I'm going to start Yoga Meltdown tomorrow :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Great Work Hun! Bet you feel fab! I did my first 5k a few years back using the 'couch to 5K' app on my iPhone. The first week felt stupid as it was walk for 3and a half, then run for 30seconds etc, by 8 weeks I was running 5k. Then I started the 10k one. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Good Luck! I start when my pack arrives, hopefully Tuesday :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

P.S I have lots of frozen berries in the freezer, I know I can't have fruit on the plan. Might do a berry smoothie with low fat yogurt and almond milk for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Get myself in diet mode. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Looks fab, very good of you to be able to have half a bar too!! Do you weigh all your veg out? Good Luck for weigh in. Any advice then throw it my way!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I've gone for a whole mixture of everything. I'm not a fan or porridge, so I've chosen either the eggs or a shake for breakfast each day. Then the food packets for the 2nd meal, then cook a meal. Then also have a bar for each day. If it works and I like it then I will know what to order next...

Popping by to follow. I start when my order arrives :) Looking for ideas. Never dieted like this before so scared lol Looks like your doing fab :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I've just ordered my first meals, not sure how long they will take to arrive. I've never been on a real diet. I've always eaten like a horse and exercised to compensate. I had a baby last year and she's now 6 months, I weighed 2 weeks after birth and gained 7lbs. 6 months on its turned into 2...
