    Sorry to hear you received an upsetting call. I hope you are OK. It's ok to have times where we just throw caution to the wind and say eff it and don't care. As long as that line is drawn right away once that has passed. I too have discovered I am an emotional eater! It's not easy. X

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    Dropped to 203.2 a couple of days ago, but back up to 206.2 today. Hubby's birthday today and I had a cupcake. I regretted it as soon as I ate it, and it tasted so so sweet, too sweet. I didn't enjoy it. We are having steak and veg for dinner tonight, with a few glasses of red wine. I know...

    That's ok Erin. Hope you enjoyed your apple. All is not lost - Just jump back on. I really love fruit too, and with two young kids - I really want some when I am giving them theirs. Although I do resist, it is hard. Have you tried making up some sugar free jelly for times when you want that...

    Erin, don't get discouraged. Stick with it and you'll see the weight come off. I was the same in the first week or so. My sister has been doing low carb for just over two weeks. Until around 4 days ago she had only lost a handful of lbs and was ready to give up - she has stuck with it and to...

    Thanks Tamzy. You're very kind. I thought I'd really struggle to get back on after letting loose a bit over the festive period, but seeing those pounds creep back actually gave me more determination! Last night dinner was Indian omlette...god, it was amazing. Found the recipe on egg recipes...

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    So I have been back on properly for the past few days and have done a food shop, so have plenty of options in. I'm back to 209.4 so the weight is starting to come off again. It's my 30th in April and I am determined to lose a lot of this weight by then. Hopefully another 2 stone...That'd be good. :)

    Hiya hun, yea things are going great thanks. I slipped a little over Xmas but am back on. Its all caught up and I am weighing 211.6 I'm hoping a lot of that is water weight as I didn't really go mad at Xmas so know I didn't eat enough to gain as much as I have. I am so focused now as I really...

    Atkins: The Diet I Never Thought I'd Try

    Welcome back to Atkins, Canadian. :) You can do this! I too am struggling with the whole willpower thing, but TODAY is me starting back on it properly after straying a little bit over christmas.

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    So (Probably wrongly) I allowed myself a few days off and am back on today. Weighed this morning and the number on the scale was 209.8 - Now that xmas is out of the way I am really focused on this. Everyone we saw over xmas commented on how well me and my husband are looking (He had put on...

    Aw thank you. I am trying so hard, so its nice the scale is going the right way and am thankful of the motivation. :) WI today...204.8 - allowing a bit of slack over Xmas but tbh I don't think I will vere off too much. I also have food poisoning from a curry we treated ourselves to last...

    Weighing 206.2 - still heading in the right direction. Still not swerving far off track. I do, however, need all the temptation gone (None in our house...but everywhere we go!!) Hi Stef, thanks for coming by. Yes I know, it's very quiet here. Things don't seem to change from one week to the...

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    Thank you so much guys! It's been a real struggle and I went back to almost 210...But I am back on track and have lost all that and back to 207.2. I walk a lot every day - probably somewhere between 2-3 miles. I walk with a buggy (most of the time with a buggy board & young child on too) but...

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    End of Oct to now, only 4lb loss. Although I know a loss is a loss, and I'm in for the long haul - I'm starting to lose motivation a little. How does everyone else keep motivated at times like this? I am so determined but I sometime find myself nibbling...and then my weight loss stalls. Argh, I...

    Hi Coffeelover, thanks for the welcome and popping in to say hi! And indeed it is the season. Ok, so the reading on the scales the other day I don't think was accurate as I have been weighing 207.2 since then - oh well lol..Still a loss. Tried on my dress for my work's xmas do and it's...

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    Oops, a glass of baileys today.... My sister offered...I couldnt say no - it's my fav. Now I KNOW I NEED to make a low carb version for xmas!! Other than that - a good day all round. :) Dinner tonight is piri piri chicken with courgette, peppers and green beans. yum.

    I'd love to just not have biscuits etc in the house at all lol, I feel guilty if I don't allow them as a treat - but yes..I may try that next time so he can share and offer that instead. Thanks for the reply x

    Siobhan's Atkins weight loss Journey

    Thank you Tamzy! You have done amazingly too! You look great! So I've been really lazy about logging my foods here - tbh, I've been really good with the odd 'slip up' (occasional red wine & a couple of biscuits I HAD to eat as my 3 year old would get upset as he's just learned to share and...

    So, I've decided to start a diary here - I've been a registered member since 2008, but have not posted anything until recently. Like most of you, I'm sure, I have been trying to lose weight for most of my adult life...I've always been bigger...not fat per se, but bigger. Even when I look at...

    Flourless 3 minute chocolate cake

    Just tried this (Yes, at 10am!) lol. And, ok - It's not cake as we know (and love) but.....I as I was eating it I felt a little bit naughty. I cut it into quarters, and tbh, 1qtr is enough to satisfy any chocolatey cravings. My 3yo loves cake, and he took a bite and didn't like it - but for...

    Good for you getting back to it. This is my 2nd time round too - I lost well on it around 10yrs ago, but met my now-hubby, got married, had two kids and am ready to lose again. I've lost almost 19lbs since End of August, the weight loss is slowing down now but it is steadily coming off. GL on...

    Induction How much have you lost?

    In the first 4 weeks I lost 14.8lbs - 8.8lbs of that in the first week. I have been losing slowly since then, but I haven't had the money this month to be really strict with it, so only lost 4lbs this month - but still a 1lb loss a week, so cannot complain at all!
  138. Siobhan

    Yooo hoooooooo new one here....

    Hi all, I too am a re-starter. I did Atkins years ago and lost well on it. I met my now-husband after losing the weight, got married - had kids...blah blah...we all know how it goes. Well, I've been trying to lose the post wedding and baby weight and now that my youngest is 1 it's about time I...
