Great diary x Just updated and marking my page..... Keep up the good work!

I've lost count of which day I'm on....?? I think it's day 17! All going well except I am feeling poorly :( Only two packs today, so far, a shake and a soup Worse, i have only managed a feeble litre of water, which I'm sure accounts for this blimmin' headache. Still my resolve will not...

Oh and I would just like to say a great big "WELCOME BACK" .... to my energy... I have missed you, your visits over the last fortnight have been far too fleeting! I hope you will be sticking around and not just passing through....

Hey! You will be fine x I am really keen to hear how you get on camping and ss. It's my intention to do the same in the summer! Keep on posting

Brilliant ! Day one - very exciting! Sounds like you know the deal - and how to get through the first few days!!?? Positive mental attitude is the key! Have you far to go? Have you set some mini goals?? I am buzzing today! Wait for your first weigh in, and be sure to let me know! Have you...

Hey, thank you!! Never loved weigh in day before Cambridge x How are you getting on?

6lbs this week!!!! Yay! You have to love this diet! My CDC has done an ace job and gee'd me up for another week of SS'ing .... We reckon that by end April I could have lost up 2st! Amazing... And in any case, I am aiming to be in the 16's (stone) by next week! Enjoying a soup now while my...

Yeah, it settled down - I could definitely sleep stood up now! It's weird cos it's like a mental energy boost when, physically, I'm not up to much!! I am back at work this week - not worked since starting the diet so I am a bit nervous. I remember someone else posting that tiredness can make...

Yep, I did! It didn't last - maybe just the first week. I was just laying in bed with my mind not settling down as it usually would. Strange. Good luck with your journey x

You are so right about spangles diary! She is good at posting picture of the great results too! I got hooked and read it in a one-er!!

Hang on in there - do as little as poss if you feel rubbish (except distracting yourself)! I have little ones - my two year old was trying to feed me a smartie today and then gave me a slobbery chocolatey kiss!! I promise you it does get better!

Hey! Well done on your weight loss so far! Really great as you have definitely had more than your fair share of sucky days and food temptation! God knows how you managed when your family ordered a takeaway! Happily my hubby hasn't done that yet but a steak pie nearly got the better of me...

Thank you! WI tomorrow - very excited! I am finding that I am wishing time away on this diet, which is a little sad. It's shaping up to be a gorgeous day, I think. The sun is in the sky and I can't see a single cloud! Gonna do something a little more basic for the family's tea today, on...

Hang on in there RB! You have been doing amazingly well.... I did come on to post some positive words about resisting old habits around the kids, but your last entry blew me away.... Terribly sad but inspirational events. Will you do a fellow CD' er a favour and toast the cyclists home...

Amazing results - well done! Love the trusty bottle of water that also made an appearance in one of your pics x

Happy birthday and good luck! Sounds like you have a plan to succeed!

Anyone else suffer with a bloating? I know I've not done so well with drinking water, the past few days, so I'm presuming this is why. But the bloated feeling us making it harder to stomach the water!!!

Nice to hear from you x I have been away in the mountains up north with no signal so couldn't pop into minimins. :( On the plus side .... Still going strong!! My few days away staying with my friends were blimmin' hard. I struggled with cravings and some hunger - due to not drinking...

You have willpower of steel - or whatever the saying might be .... ! Your first weigh in will be amazing after two weeks!!

Hey.... I am new to posting and definitely new to keeping a diary! I read the others on here saying they help so I will jot down events along my journey .... The story so far? This is my first encounter with the likes of food replacement and I hope to cure not just my 'fatness' with it...

Hey! Just wanted to say a great big "well done". It's very inspiring to hear about your losses and motivation .... Hope to follow your path!!!!

woofy your curry looks fab - i intially thought someone had cruely posted a pic of curry and rice for all us low carbers!! ha ha will def have to try it. did you grate it and fry it then?

just to say hello and to add that i found that the diabetic choc stalled me for sure. that said, i agree with rainbow cookie and would still reach for them rather than the real thing when desperate! good luck.... sure you wont need it cos atkins food is yummy! sarah

thanks all.... forgot to say that i am on atkins!! true about the cheats jim - thats why i stalled it seems. those diabetic choccies are off the menu now!! water too - will def try to do better! with spring in the air i might just fancy the odd long walk around these hills too! as long as i...

oh btw sukie sue - well done losing 8 stone! was it all lost on atkins?

thats great advice... i love products too! i am using karin herzog range on my face - although i never really considered that faces would lose tone with weight loss - so i will carry on with that! been using boi oil for a while on my tum but i fear that it is probably beyond help (my littlest...

hey all! after 3 week stall :sigh: i finally lost some weight this week... yey! (2lb) would really like to lose at least three pounds next week to take me past another stone barrier.... has any one any tips or menus from a big loss week that they would care to share??? have renewed vigour and...

hey all... just like the title says i was wondering if flaxmeal can cause a stall! i have recently discovered muffin in a minute with bacon ~ yum! i had indulged in the odd diabetic choc previously but found that i stayed the same weight for two weeks and dont want the same to happen with my new...

hey - i am from lipotrim too!! must say i am loving atkins and i am still in the phase where i cant believe i can actually eat all this lovely food and still lose weight!

oh... and i usually have salad with tuna/ham/boiled egg/cheese/chicken etc and some low carb dressing (cardini/mayo/ olive oil) for lunch! sarah

hey you! i am new too - enjoying the atkins way after just a couple of weeks of lipotrim (couldnt continue as i am still feeding my son and i felt way to weak and pathetic on vlcd). good luck with low carbing and of course with your journey to a bundle of joy!!

hey ya! i am new too - over from liprotrim......!!! good luck!

just to add my twopenneth... i switched from lipotrim to atkins and did notice an intial gain in weight (first few days). only done two weeks on atkins but i have lost a bit each week... not a vast amount but have had some tips from the gang here regarding salt in particular. i think it is to...

thanks guys ... i have the debbie and andrew 97% sausages for now (no breadcrumbs or rusk 2g carbs each) but will def look for those tolouse ones. saw some in waitrose but the girl serving wasnt sure what was in them. about 3 handfuls of salad each day - size of my fist on the plate (will have...

hey all - love reading this thread for ideas and see if i am on track. here goes... breakfast - bacon omlette with about five mushroons lunch will be ham salad with just leaves and a bit of that cardini low carb salad dressing tea will be steak and bit more salad today i am on induction and...

hey all... i am on induction and was wondering about peoples thoughts on tomatoes? from what i can tell atkins himself didnt have them on his induction list but they do appear in the food list in the book i bought. in context, i am wondering whether is is ok to have a couple of tinned tomatoes...

ketosis is safe whilst breastfeeding as ketones dont pass to milk, according to research.... my pharmacist did tell me that lipotrim would be ok whilst nursing but everyone else seems to think not which i did find a worry to be honest. he said give it a go and see but i am still sooooooo hungry...

hey all! after two weeks of lipotrim i think i need to come off for the sake of continuing to breast feed my son (less milk and more hunger!) i am wondering whether, if i stick to the principles of the refeed, i will stay in ketosis and futher my weight loss? is atkins a good alternative, do...

hey all... i am new to all this (day 4) so would appreciate some help, if you can!! my pharmacist is aware that i am still breastfeeding and told me i am ok to use the lipotrim. having lurked around on this site for a while it seems that most of you are over your hunger and cravings by this time...
