I agree Cherry! And I'm not always that ferocious by the way, lol :D

Hi Cherryade! OMG I know exactly how you feel.. I, like Jim, am just telling people I'm cutting my carbs which people also praise me for.. as soon as I mention the word 'Atkins', all hell breaks loose! Apparently it'll clog my arteries, I'll get heart disease or have a heart attack etc etc...

I've had a look at the stickies Jim, this forum looks so active, I was posting on another site's forum and it was dead! So I'm glad I found you all here :) Hi Cherryade, I'm going to have a look at some recipes too :) I really want to avoid getting stuck in a menu routine because boredom is...

Hi everyone, I started the induction phase of Atkins last Thursday, 1st October. I tried it before last year for a couple of weeks but it was quite a half hearted attempt and I soon gave it up, but I'm back now after trying all sorts of other diets and getting nowhere in the long term.. I've...

Oooh cool thread..! Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max/Sprite Zero Sugarfree squash Snack-A-Jacks Wafer thin ham Quavers/French Fries Options Belgian Choc hot chocolate Tesco Light Choices soups Tesco Light Choices lasagne (love Tesco!) There are probably more but these are the top ones :)

Hi everyone, I'm on my third day of the Alli programme - I've posted a couple of times on the Alli thread but it seems to be pretty dead and I wondered if anyone here could answer a question I have... I'm a bit worried because I've hardly gone to the toilet for three days :confused: I've...

Thanks for replying GtGn.. it does seem really quiet here.. I'll follow your advice and post on the Xenical thread :)

Hi all, I joined this forum a couple of months ago when I started calorie counting but after a few unexpected events dieting took a back seat.. but I'm back now though and on my second day of Alli... :) I've been on the forum on the Alli website and I think I've got the hang of the diet. I'm...

You've still lost 4lb, that's good :) I know all about not being able to stop bingeing, that's why I'm here now, lol. Do you always weigh on a Wednesday? That's when I'm weighing too. I think we should both try to have really good weeks and see what we can lose! Have you signed up to the...

Thanks Alex =) I weighed in this morning and I've lost 3lb which I'm really pleased about considering the weekend! It does get frustrating.. it's almost my TOTM and all I wanna do when I get in from work is lie in bed and eat junk.. but I've resisted! How was your loss this week?

I'm in too! :) I'm gonna be adventurous and aim for 14lb, that'd get me to 11st 9lb which would be fantastic! Nic 14lbs, -2lbs, -3lbs Vicky 10lbs - 1lb Yodevil 8lbs -0lb Pumpkin2008 14lbs Sa89 14lbs. -5lbs Alex 6lb rhuba 6lb -1lb Preet 6lbs Princess Sausage 14lbs Iris 1lb Rachel 5lbs x letty...

Hi all, Thought I'd give a progress update! I haven't logged on all weekend.. this weekend has been a test and I've given in a few times, damn it! On Friday night I went a bit overboard with the vodka when I was with my boyfriend... then on Saturday night we shared a chinese and a couple of...

Prosecco, I was just reading this thread out of interest.. that sounds like a fab way to start exercising! I'm a (rather tight, it has to be said!) size 14 and I am so darn unfit, I've been despairing at just the thought of exercising, but you say it's gradual...? I'm gonna give it a go!

Hi Min :) I'm new too, this is my second day. The forum seems really active and good for advice and support. Hope you find it as valuable as I do!

Lol, I picked up the tip of writing everything down so you can refer back from when I tried low-carb a while back - there were certain things, like the sweetener aspartame in diet fizzy drinks for example, that some people reported slowed their weight loss.. the idea was if it was all written...

Hi again Zoe, OK this is what I've learnt: to lose 1lb of fat you have to create a calorie deficiency of 3500 per week, which is 500 per day. So you'd need to work out how many calories your body burns in a day - I'm sure there are websites which allow you to calculate this by your weight, age...

Hi Crunchy, I write it all down in an A5 notebook, a day to a page, which I keep with me all the time. I just find it quicker and easier than logging it online - also I've personalised it by sticking motivating pictures of pretty dresses or sleeveless tops that I'd love to be able to wear and...

I find the routine of work helps me to stick to my calories, it's the evenings and weekends I have to battle through! I have branflakes for breakfast and soup for lunch with a slice of bread and I snack on fruit and the odd cereal bar. I have Options hot chocolate at hand too for the...

Hiya =) How're you getting on Zoe? I know what you mean... I couldn't do 1100, 1200 is the absolute lower limit for me and I'm allowing up to 1500 to give myself a bit of leeway. I think it's better to do it in a way you can sustain rather than cutting right back, bingeing coz you're so hungry...

Hi everyone, thanks for replying =) 4lbs is a brilliant loss Mummy Tummy, I'll be so pleased if I can do that in my first week... Nic, you've lost 5 stone!! That's amazing, well done to you, that's so inspiring =) Soon To Be Yummy Mummy, I'm gonna be logging on everyday too because I'll...

Hi Amore =) I joined this site yesterday, I've started a calorie-counting diet.. we're a similar height and weight and we have the same goal so it'd be good to see how we both get on =)

Hello everyone.. Well, I came across this site whilst looking for some inspiration for my new calorie-counting diet and I thought I'd register and give it a go.. I lost a significant amount of weight by counting calories a few years ago but put it all back on. I've started many diets since...

Hi Zoe.. I joined today too, it's the first day of my calorie-counting diet! My weight has always been up and down.. I always start with high hopes and lots of motivation and then it all just disappears and I go back to stuffing myself with junk! I'm hoping that this site will give me the...

Hello.. Just thought I'd say hi.. I started a calorie-counting diet today and I came across this site while I was looking for inspiration. I feel positive about losing weight at the moment but I know from (lots of!) past experience that my motivation always disappears at some point, so I'm...
