Hi Becky! You are doing so well! Good on you! x

Good Luck Kirsty, I was on atkins for a few months before I joined ww. It was good and I lost weight on it, but I just found it hard to eat the same things all the time and not being allowed any wee treats! Hope it works for you though! x

No treats Claire - bad!! xx

Yeah I know! Rach being a teacher puts me off kids also! The thought of having them all day then all night when I get home immediately sets off alarm bells! Hell!!!!

Well done on sts! How was your holiday hun? Hope you had an amazing time!! x

I totally agree, some stores are worse than others! Don't you just love walking into a pristine primark (usually first thing in morning) and being able to find everything you want! Man that sounds good, maybe I will go there tomorrow! Noooo see i am being brainwashed! :D

Fingers crossed you get a sts hun, but don't get yourself down if its a 1lb gain, could just be water weight and it will be gone in no time! x

Hi everyone, I am new but have been lurking for past week, have decided to try weight watchers. I don't have tons of weight to lose, just a few pounds now and looking for a good eating plan for life! Have been doing this on my own, have the books and advice/guidance from my friends who go...

Hi Craig, The first few down days are tough but I actually find myself looking forward to them now after my up days. So with this Fast five are you just eating your normal calories within the five hour window every day? Carbs and everything included? Sounds good, I will go have a look at the...

Hi! I have heard of Fast five, I also use lcf forum as there are loads on there who are using Juddd, a few of them actually combine the two. I haven't tried it as I really need to eat during the day. Saying that my first few down days on Juddd I saved my calories and had quite a substantial...

I started this diet two weeks ago moving over from Atkins! I love it! Gives you so much freedom, you can literally eat anything you like as long as you stick to the calories! I was finding atkins so boring in the end, and like a little chocolate biscuit now and again which was a total no...

My bikini usually inspires me! Or having a holiday always motivates me! I am off to Madrid in a couple of weeks so am finding inspiration from that! Am praying that I can be good whilst I am away!

Oh tell me about it! I was so used to indulging in chinese/Indian takeaways chocolate and nice cakes! Now I need to be good and have savoury things!

Excellent Laura thanks so much! I think I might ahve retained some water after using ordinary stock cubes a few weeks ago maybe just due to salt! Thanks!

Hi all, I was thinking about making soup this week, and usually would use a knorr chicken or veg stock cube, The carb content on them is very low but I did notice sugar was on ingredient list, so now am a bit frightened to use them! Any ideas? Thanks Katie

Hello louisa, hellraiser and Jim! I had a lovely weekend thanks! Louisa I have been doing induction for a little while now, mainly because I don't have much to lose, but have recently been thinking I should maybe move up a stage! I find it quite easy during the week, but the minute the...

I got some with 30% off! :)

Hi suzy, I do use cream, however they do say you should limit it to two spoons per day? I use lactofree milk in coffee sometimes when I am not allowed any more cream! x

Hi there, I know soya milk has lowest carbs, but I have recently discovered lacto free milk, it's available in most of the supermarkets and only has 2.5g carbs per 100ml, and tastes exactly like normal milk! I use it when I've had too much cream during the day! Katie

Hi all, I am a newbie also! Just wanted to say Hi, as I found this forum last week and have been creeping around! Wanted to say thanks for all the tips on here, and congratualate you all on the support you have for each other! I have been using atkins for a while now on and off. I don't have...
