great, thanks for the advice guys! much appreciated. I had some roasted peppers with dinner to bump it up a bit, adding mayo is a good idea too, the book says shop bought ones are the wrong king of oil so i guess i will have to make some, unless anyone knows of a brand that is ok to use?

Hi I am getting all confused over carb values, can anyone help? For breakfast I had 2 scrambled eggs (1g) made with sweetner (1g) For lunch I had burgers made with mince beef (does this have any carbs??) and an ounce of blue cheese (0.4g) and a salad with 50g cos lettuce and 50g cucumber...

wow what a welcome! thanks guys :D thanks for all the advice too, very helpful.

Hello! I am now on day 2 of the Atkins diet, I have never done Atkins before (prob the only diet I hadn't tried!). I was doing Cambridge and lost almost 2.5 stone, but in the end I was cheating so much it was more of a low carb diet so I thought I might as well give Atkins a go. I bought the...

good idea, what a great incentive for you to keep you motivated.

I weigh In tomorrow evening. I am a bit worried as my own scales havnt shifted much this week, only a pound or two, but at least that is better than nothing.

wow thats really good, well done ( you def had me fooled!) and well done too for having a successful night out, i know how easy it is just to say oh what the hell, a couple wont hurt, etc etc

sounds nice, i will have to get some, do they sell it in supermarkets?

oh that is so sweet! im am sure in no time you will have loads of charms and you will have one arm heavier than the other when wearing it!

well done, thats great, keep going!

wow, that is great! well done!

Hi everyone I have to go away with work to France/Belgium for a couple of days next week, I am going with a group of colleagues and I will be expected to eat meals with them. I am currently on SS and I am not sure what I should do. If it was the UK I would just eat a chicken salad, but I am...

wow thats great, well done and keep up the good work.

i also make sure im wearing my lightest clothes on weigh day, every little counts!

love the name! i also think of myself as a princess loulou! i know it must be hard at the moment, but keep going, be strong, it will get so much easier and it will be so worth it when you have your first weigh in.

wow thats fantastic, well done!

i weigh everyday, at the moment i like what im seeing so why stop now! when i started putting on weight again i didnt weigh at all, so i didnt realise just how big i was getting. hopefully, if i learn to weigh regularly (not neccesarily every day though) it will encourage me to keep an eye on my...

i drink less on weigh day too, an old habit!

that is amazing, well done!

awww thank you!

Another 4lb off for me!! Thats 17lb in total now in three weeks. Really pleased, Ive been ill for the last few days so its a real boost.

Hey Ant, youre doing great, keep up the good work! I love how your always happy and so optimistic about it all, its really inspiring for others, especially anyone who is struggling. I know what you mean about feeling more confident, even after just a short time, yesterday I went to the...

i love the peanut ones, my cdc didnt have any in stock last week but she said she will have some for when i go tommorow, and sadly, im a little too excited about this!! licking my lips as i type!

Good luck. Its very important to have the right head space or it just wont work. I'm sure youll do great.

Thanks Becca and Erin, I guess we have to make the best of it and turn it into motivation to prove them wrong!

Hi Anthony, Yes, it is annoying isnt it?! Why cant they just say well done, or good for you?? Its like they are saying you have a fat persons personality, because im bubbly? Why does being happy and optimistic make me have a fat persons personality. very strange!

i find drinking sparkling water much easier, have you tried that?

A colleague told me the other day that I wouldnt suit being thin. What does this mean?? I just dont get it. I am 5'2 with a small frame, but I have a lot of .... extras. I am not planning to be a size 8 skinny minnie, in fact I am happy when I am a 14, but even this she said I wouldnt suit (I...

I know how you feel, I have just signed up for a cookery course even though I won't be able to taste anything I am cooking. I did CD 2 years ago and lost 4 stone, but I didnt really learn any lessons, and I put all the weight back on. This time I want to make changes in my life, I want to know...

well done! temptation is a massive thing to beat, something we all struggle with, hence being on CD. I'm afraid it will be a long war, but you won the first major battle, you should be proud.

That's fantastic, well done. Really pleased for you.

ha ha i guess we are all different!

hi I just had my second weight in and I lost 4 lb, bringing me to 13lb, which I am thrilled about, but does anyone else ever notice when they are on a diet that the body always stops at 13lb rather than a full stone? Its almost as if the body is reluctant to give out that stone award! Loulou

well done on surviving the chicken! i survived the doughnuts at work today, gives you a feeling of empowerment dont you think? good luck with the support group too.

you are doing amazingly well, keep it up! you are a few days ahead of me so it really helps me to stay on the straight and narrow seeing how you are doing, so thanks!

good luck, the first few days are the hardest, but by cutting down on carbs etc you shouldnt find it hard for too long.

Hi Jam, I know what you mean about having the confidence to post, Im always lurking on here but too scared to post! silly me! good luck with the restart, I am also on a restart, and after 6 days I have lost 9lb, which has really given me a boost to carry on, so keep going till weigh day I am...

hi, dont worry, i lost 4 stone for my wedding in 2008 but put it all back on again, so am now on day 3 of a restart. its so easily done, you just have to learn from your mistakes, and make sure that make changes so it doesnt happen again. good luck!

is it a healthy extra then or just low in syns?

its very simple, but mine is my rice cooker. its so easy to use and always makes rice nice and fluffy. i do tend to eat rice a few times a week so gets used a lot.

3 stone is amazing, well done, you deserve a little treat!

We are having shish kebabs and chicken kebabs with a jacket and maybe some salad. Hubby is cooking it right now.

I think I am in the minority here but I hate fat on meat so have always taken it off before I cook it.

Thanks! I kept doing the forgotton password thing but was using the wrong email address so it never came through. Will remember from now on as this site is great for help and advice.

I forgot my password so couldnt come back on with my weigh in news, but I have now remembered and I am pleased to say that: Week 1 - 4lb lost Week 2 - 2lb lost Week 3 - 2.5lb lost So pleased with myself! :D

Hi I am on Day 6 of slimming world, doing good so far, just made chicken satay for dinner which was really good. Really want to suceed this time, so will be coming on here for help and inspiration if thats ok? Loulou
