Hi I have never reached my goal! I got to within 2 stone of it though al stayed there for a while. I have to say my body really changed shape though while I stuck there. My neck went quite saggy but that sorted itself. I think it's good to have a rest so long as like me the rest doesn't turn...

Looks fine Hun, and I know money us tight but do try a bit of variety else you will get bored and then it's hard to stick with it. I find you need to give it a week just to feel normal and 2 to really get in the swing in the beginning. Good luck xxx

Morning everyone Had another good day yesterday eating wise, managed just 30 mins on wii but better than nothing. Got lots of cakes to make this week so it's going to be a hard one. Have been in ketosis for a few days which I never seemed to achieve before so that's great xxx

Haha waterworks I figure to be good at making cakes you must have to be good at eating them! My friend told me she would never buy cake from a thin person and I can see her point haha. However there has come a point where I can't bear to be this fat anymore.

Morning everyone I knwo I have left but can i join started on my wii fit yesterday xx

Hi Sarah Thats great thanks ever so much, will ahve a look. Do I have to count veg? i know I count fruit but can't remember veg. I am sure salad was something liek 50 calories for a big salad xx

Thanks everyone Rosemary Conley people are boring as anything haha. neilsbird - when you have diabetes any sugar you have is not processed properly so it just kind of floats around you body clogging up your arteries really. So although we don't eat any there is some sugar in allsorts and what...

I am 31 and 15 stone sorry very cheeky but could you let me know what I should be on? Thanks xx

Hi Hun Just been reading your food diary, how are you doing can't find your weigh loss might be on another thread. Beleive me I am no expert but you do eat a lot of stuff the same. I have just switched from atkins as I got bored and you might do the same. Hope its going well anyway and hi xx

Have a look online just google whatever it is say 'banana calorie content' and there you go its about 100 by the way haha xx

Hi Well I have been doing Atkins for about 7 months and have lost 42 pounds. However have come to a stand still adn was getting very bored. I have done RC before in fact I did it with Rosemary in 2000 on Richard and Judy and lost 3 stone. I really love the diet and the lady she is so...

Well everyone been to the doctors and my fasting bloods were 7.3 which is similar to yours Linz but yours are great to what they were. Mine are higher than before. Good news is cholestorol is fine. Discussed diet with doctor and she is not against Atkins at all. But advised me that sugar...

PS Could my sugar craving be cos my blood sugar is too high? xx

yeah been trying hard with my greens. At doctors at 3 as I had bloods done last week and some are abnormal. I presume my blood sugars as I verge on diabetic and I am worried lack of carbs may not be helping. Yours have improved though haven't they ditzee? Mine were fine before so not sure...

Hi everyone Not been on for ages. I am really struggling. Am struggling to loose and this leads to me binging. My binges are always sugar. I have been thinking long and hard this morning about a change in diet. I thought going onto OWL but quite honestly I loose weight so slowly on...

thats ok Jim haha, it does seem to be really busy at the minute. Its great lots of new faces xx

Well i did official weigh in on friday and lost 2lbs. We were away for the first time in teh caravan for 4 days had the est time with the kids. Didn't stick to diet it was hard enough thinking up one meal!! Put 3 on which I was pleased with so better loose that this week Hope you all had a...

They are so pretty Vicky xx

Thats is Jim's meatloaf and yes thats fien for induction hun xx

Sugar free jelly and cream but go steady cos cream contains carbs make sure you count it. And well done you xx

Good afternoon everyone things goig well here hoping for a good few off this week reached an all time low of 14 9 this morning so thats 2 off since saturday!!! knowing me that will be it for the week but we will see. Hope everyone had a good weekend xx

STS so thats not bad as I actually lost 2lbs haha. This week is going to be better although weigh in is friday cos we are away in the caravan for the weekend and I can't wait xx

Weigh in tomorrow am hoping for stay the same as put 2 on earlier in weeks after my wobble! Am eating so much better now. Had thai fushcakes for tea last night they were yummy. Then tuna and egg Patty (thanks Sona) with cabbageslaw for lunch today and feel so much more positive. Went you...

I used them as a meal replacement but I don't think thats what they are meant for. Have to say I have now stopped them as they are not particularly healthy and now have 3 proper meals. They can also make you crave sugar and stall you so beware xx

Morning, what a difference a day makes. I feel fab! Had a great day ate totally different food tuna for lunch and buitter chicken for tea. Ate more greens than ever before and more carbs than usual, this morning I have lost 2lbs!!!!!!!! thats after nearly 3 or 4 weeks of not really loosing...

Linzi where do you get your chorizo from I got some from aldi and quite honestly it was like chewing on old boots xx

mmm they sound yummy Sona xx

Asda's Lincolnshire sausage is lovely and only 1.9g per 100g xx

And i bet your lovely lovely wife made it didn't she haha. You lucky man Jim xx

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER SOUP Just found this recipe for curried cauliflower soup, if you leave out the oats it will be very low carb Recipe makes 6 Servings (Calories: 71) @ 10.4 carb, 3.3 fiber (7.1 NET), 2.7 fat, 2.9 protein 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove...

Hi all As I am sure you mostly know I am struggling really think its lack of variety. Have been through recipe thread and got fab ideas for evening meals but could do with some easy lunch ideas. I can't have cheese though cos it stalls me. Thansk everyone xx

I think it sounds quite interesting I would love eat different verg - and fruit not eaten any in 6 months!! xx

just wanted to say you seem top be doing great hun well done xx

I think you really need to be within about a stone from target for OWL not that I am an expert in fact I feel like a beginner again this week. Have decided no more atkins bars, no more cheesecos have been slowly slipping back into eating it and i know it stalls me. Also off to check recipes...

yeah a few I am just so disorganised with having the kids and am often cooking 2 teas already cos Fred doesn't eat what everyone else eats cos he is only 11 months. I need to get my arse in gear, stop moaning and start planning thats what it is xx

thanks girly i did have some tinned toms for tea with chicken, garlic and mozerrela and it was yum but not something i would usually have. I think I need more variety. I live on cooked breakfast and an atkins bar then struggle everyday what to have for tea!! Just gets very boring xx

I feel like crap - constant sugar cravings are driving me mad and I don't know why. The thought of meat makes me feel sick - what is wrong with me? HAve I just been doing this too long? xx

I have lost 46lbs!! so I think that speaks for itself! xx

have been looking, also have you tried chromium? apparently its stops sugar cravings. I am on teh verge of a wobble again so might get some. Might not help me through tonight though!! xx

she is bless her xx

No Jim, is it good? xx

Vicky look at you loosing 4lbs this week what happened bet yopu were well chuffed xx

I am back!! Did you miss me haha. Well you all know I had 2 bad days week before last. They cost me 4 pounds 1 of which am STILL trying to shift! I have been so good but weight is not really shifting its very disheartening. Am thinking of goin g to docs to try get some tablets to help speed...

I think jacsprat you will still find full even eating less. i try to nibble through the day bits here and there rather than a big meal cos if i do that I seem to eat more. Not sure if thats the right way to do it but works for me. I think thats the important thing atkins is about finding what...

You are funny Jim fancy a vindaloo making you weigh heavier haha xx

i weigh less too after a night out but the next day i go back up loads!!! I now just drink gin and slimline and have no problems xx

You lot are evil haha, I do love roast lamb though. Thanks for advice on chorizo. Is it black farmer sausage you are talking about I found them in Tesco too last night xx

Is chorizo low carb? or do you have to be careful with it. Its not something I ever eat but sometimes it might be nice as its got a lot of flavour hasn't it? xx

I will feel like that saturday when I realise I have put on haha xx

Have any of you read the part of the atkins book about Keckwicks diet? Basically some people are very metabolic resistant, which I am, it tells you how to work this out in the book. This diet is 1000 calories of extremely high fat food eaten in I think 5 portions per day. Atkins uses it for...

Actually didn't feel too bad apart from the belly ache just p'eed off haha xx

OMG what a bad day I had yesterdaycompletely my own fault for leaving the christening cake on the side where I coulod see it (its not there now I ate it) Binge went on all day it was truly horrific. But back on it today and forget it xx

I think you just have to do anything to get through the first few days hun its hard but it passes. So yeah eat lots of legal stuff and your appetite will soon go xx

Can't beleive I never post on here!! 46lbs so far for me its very very very slow average of 1.3lbs a week but I will get there xx

i am thinking the same as Jim would be very interesting xx

good Luck hun xx

I have more or less done 6 months as of 19th March. Have read the book today and there was a lady who did it for 2 years as her average loss was 5lbs per month due to her high metabolic resistance. I am actually only loosing an average of 1.3lbs per week which is veeeerrrrry slow! Not that...

I love getting a new phone - how sad haha I got an ipod touch for valentimes day. At first I was not impressed cos I don't realy liek gadgets but i now love it. I am obsessed with scrabble well words with friends cos I had to pay for scrabble xx

Just been on the Atkins bulletin board and it says so long as you bloods, blood pressure and sugar levels are stable or improving, so long as you are not bored and so long as you still have energy and normal sleep patterns you can stay on induction. So I think I will go to the doctors and get...

Morning everyone, Jim the christening was lovely, I was very naughty but it was worth it haha. Not read OWL but will weight loss slow down Jim? xx

Atkins bars do it for me, a taste of sweet seems to make me want me in particular the cereal ones. The other are not too bad. I knwo what you mean about clesses even weekends don't stop for us off to dancing now!! xx

Morning campers lost another 2 this week woo hoo. Got Freds christening on sunday and got a fab dress to wear so i am very very pleased xx

Won't that mean the weight loss slows down? Well if it can get any slower haha xx

You are such a naughty man Jim haha. Well I have another week till I have been doing this diet for 6 months. I am still on induction and still have 2st 12lbs to loose what shoudl I do? xx

Hi everyone had a fab weekend hope everyone is ok. Sruggling again this week feel like eating lots of chocolate. The only thing thats stopping me is knowing come May I have to be on stage in my underwear!! If that doesn't keep me on the staright and norrow nothing will xx

I completely understand how you feel at my biggest I was 19 and a half stone and at that time I was 21. I had days when i wouldn't go out cos I thought people would think I was so fat. i have tried every diet like you i was bulimic for a few years it is truley awful being overweight cos you...

Hi hun Forgive me for being honest and I hope i don't offend you but wls is not a quick fix and in my opinion is a lot less healthy than doing it with Atkins. However most importantly it teaches you nothing about how to eat. I have found with Atkins and I think this is the same for everyone...

are those sausages carb free Jim? Even with Leek in them? xx

Morning Weigh in a day early as I am going away today to see my best friend in London and I can't wait. We are goign to see chicago tomorrow afternoon then out to get very very drunk in the evening woo hoo. Anyway 2lbs off so pleased with that - have a good weekend everyone xx

Yeah I have tried flax meal and it has no effect on me think its too many eggs to be honest!!

STS!!! was quite pleased haha I am still on induction Girly so I have no excuse. Except I keep cheating we went out for a meal last sunday didn't even try to be good haha. But I get straight back onit next day. TBH I have not been to the toilet properly all week sodon't hink thats helping...

I have lost 2 stone since sept 19th xx

Yeah I guess I have 5 haha Having a crap week put 2 on so far but weigh in is tomorrow obviously the valentines meal was worse than i thought!!! Really wanted to shift some before next weekend but can't see it happening am gutted and constantly hungry! boo hoo xx

I always have roast with everyone with Cauliflower pureed with cream and butter mmm. You have to get away from looking at what other eat and being envious and find stuff you enjoy. I like to feel righteous when everyone else eats rubbish and I think I am loosing weight and enjoying my food...

Shame you are going hun good luck and lots of love xx

Yes they keep me very busy but I love it luckily I don't have to work god knows when I would have the time haha xx

Hi Annie I am struggling to stay on track at the minute, I keep having bad days. I think setting short term goals helps. I have said 7lbs by end of next week cos I am away with my best friend in London. I might not do 7 lbs but it keeps me focused fro the next 2 weeks. I know that weekend...

Sorry Jim didn't get on yesterday first day of the holidays was rather busy with all 4 at home!! Sickness bug has gone but Fred is still poorly been to doctors today and they have given him an inhaler cos his cough is making him whease but they still insist he has no infection. Oh the joys of...

My sister in law and my mum think i starve myself. Apparently there can be no other explanation for my weight loss!!! Well come to mine on a morning and see the size of my breakfast thats all i can say haha xx

You can't have milk at all. Sausage yes it is meat but not exclusively. E=When it says meat it means proper meat not processed. That includes Ham and salami both of which I would expect will contain carbs. You can have them but you must count carbs. It doesn't say unlimited veg. You should...

Lost 2lbs this week bit mad cos at one point had lost 4 but I guess being ill has not helped however I have lost 3 stone exactly and got in size 14 jeans today so VERY VERY pleased xx

I wouldn't have thought so, being overweight, smoking etc etc will give you high blood pressure though. Looking though you don't seem to be that overweight. Maybe best see what the doc says. I think people put atkins down because they don't feel its balanced enough but how much do they really...

Thank you everyone me too xx

I might have to buy some - don't suppose I can have green and blacks though? xx

No we all have it!! The little two have been ill since the weekend then harry and I since yesterday so only Will and Danny to go can see a great weekend ahead!! xx

Morning Well we are all poorly at our house with a sickness bug. I was up every 2 hours in the night. However it was worth it haha got on the scales the morning and I was 14st 12 I have not been 14 anything since I was 17 I fully expect it to go back on today as I will be dehydrated but it...

Hi Nic Sorry only just seen your thread and you always take th time to post on mine feel awful sorry hun. Hope you are well. I don't get on well with MIMs to be honest I found they stopped me going to the loo which they shouldn't but they did. Anyway now I have found I promise to keep...

Beleive me Ditzee I do need to. I do like the way I look now for the first time ever. However I can now see problems areas. Before it was a ll a problem. My legs are still very big and my tummy is awful but I have had 4 kids so I guess I may be fighting a loosing battle there xx

funny that i drink a bit of cream and that stops me not always mind if I have a sugar craving it rarely passes, but if I am hungry I do that and seems to work xx

Hi Annie Just been catching up on your posts. I have never had a sweet tooth till I had my little boy last April. Not sure what happened but I now LOVE chocolate. About once a month i crave it really badly and if you read my diary I often give in but I get back on Atkins and get on with ity...

Hi Annie, better thanks last week quite honestly was a disaster haha. I think the problem is I am quite happy with how I look and have to get back the focus that i do absolutely need to loose more weight. Got Danny to take a pic saturday night when I went out cos I thought I always look worse...

Your poor sister my brother had a similar experience and Finlay was born at 26 weeks he was too tiny and weighed just 850g. Hope your sister will be ok good luck to you all xx

I am not keen on pork pies and definately couldn't do pickled eggs or gherkins so guess i will have to find another way to stave off teh cravings xx

Hi Annie Glad you are back and good luck hun. Oh to be a size 12 or even a 14 haha xx

Pickle!! Do you mean like branston? I can't think of anything less appealing when having a chocolate craving haha

Glad to see you back Annie - well done for getting back on it. So hard to get back on it after a break. You can do it just stick to it. I did manage to stop myself eating biscuits and I was very very proud. However on teh sunday we went out to celebrate DH having a new job and getting some...

morning hun - how did weigh in go? xx

thanks everyone I most certainly am back on track and very focused xx

Honestly? Different haha my 2 argue thats the worst bit everything is a competition they even argue about who was the sickest when they were born!! I guess the destruction stops I can now have ornaments etc. Mind my baby boy is now 9 months so that may not last long. Good luck for weigh in...

Hi Josie You sound very similar to me I have 4 kids including twin boys but mine are 8. Mine were mental at the age yours are they were liek a demolition tag team. If i had tried to diet then the stress would have been too much so well done you. I loooooove Jelly too like Laura and have...

Morning everyone Well I have lost 5lb's this week which leaves me 2 to go before I am back to pre christmas (and wedding) weight so I am very pleased xx

Hi Hun Pleased he is on the mend xx

Oh hun you were doing so well I hope thsi loss motivates you to come back to it xx

Bless you please don't abandon Atkins altogether. Give yourself soem time to get over things and come back to us and we will help you through - it honestly is the best way to diet. Hope you feel better soon hun xx

Hi Tony - You are probably going to feel crap cos you are like you say detoxing from sugar and caffeine. Get the first week over and you will feel amazing more energy, not hungry and you will feel lighter. Till then the headache and general groggy feeling is normal Good Luck xx

Pepperami's, Cheese, Atkins bar, Slice of Ham and sugar free Jelly when desperate for something sweet but obviously you have to count all the carbs Good Lunck hun xx

thanks everyone feeling much more positive this week fingers crossed for saturday I think it may be another week till i reach pre christmas weight though! :mad: xx

Hi everyone, well things really didn't go to plan friday night had a big binge I knew it was coming had struggled all week. Saturday was fien but didn't do weigh in. Then sunday was Dannys mums 60th and we went out for a meal all paid for so I thought sod it and ate what I wanted. Got back on...

hi hope everyone is ok in this awful weather. There is only 1 school open where we live luckily its where my boys go to haha. Weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed will be getting back to pre christmas weight or somewhere near. xx

where have you gone Mrs? Hope we havn't lost you? xx

i agree for the first time i didn't feel bad having a blowout cos I knew I could get back on it. Although I am starving today. I have jumped on the scales and was 3lb more but I know at some point over the fetivities I had put on 7lb so I was quite chuffed. Official weigh in Saturday again so...

Hi everyone - Happy New year to you all. Well I am back on Atkins today with no intention of getting weighed until a week on saturday. Had a fab christmas ate loads and enjoyed every minute of it. Now back on it a want another 3 stone off before I go on maintenance which gives me about 3...

It looked fab thanks hun was so pleased to get back in it. Had christmas day, boxing day and next day off so ate for england havn't got weighed yet so will check the damage on saturday!! Hope you are doing ok Cherry xx

Oh Cherry thats awful I am so so sorry. Don't know what to say really except just keep on with your atkins I am a true beleiver that loosing weight helps you conceive as all my pregnancies were conceived just after I had lost a lot of weight. It will happen again hun just don't let it get you...

Hi everyone Well excited is not the word in our house, never mind christmas I now weigh the same as I did the day we got married which is the lowest I have been in my memorable adult life!!! I am going to try my wedding dress on tonight which I have not doen since the day we got married I am...

Hi Hun Not been on all week well done for getting back on track rpoud of you. Good luck for that interview when is it? xx

Sorry not been on folks - stayed the same last saturday but not bothered as had losses for 2 weeks before that. This week won't be good although a STS again would be great. Then 2 off next week for my month target. Hope everyone is ok. I had my fiorst drink in 3 months on saturday and was...

STS last saturday weigh in so fingers crossed for 2 next week cos this week won't be haha xx

well done you really really proud of you xx

You know what I mean Jim - bread sauce mmm mmm can't wait xx

thanks for update hun x

yeah I was quite pleased Jim - am planning on eating normally christmas day so fingers crossed will get a few more off before then - no doubt they will go back on that day and the 3 days of hell which follow as I have to get back into ketosis - looking forward to it though xx

Fry up for breakfast thats what I have nearly everyday - low carb sausage, bacon, egg and fried mushrooms. I mainly eat 2 meals per day and have meat with lettuce or cabbage coleslaw for tea Good Luck xx

2lb off today was hoping for 3 but never mind. Only 2 more to go for dec challenge then I was thinking 2 on then back off if that makes sense haha xx

Its next saturday but I am not sure where or who thats awful. Hopefully she will read this and let us know. 2lbs off this morning was hoping for 3 but never mind 2 it is xx

Right Mrs you were doing so well, don't stop now. Maybe have a few weeks break over christmas and start again 1st Jan. Sometimes telling yourself its ok to stop makes the cravings go away cos all of a sudden the food is not forbidden. But be really strict and don't worry about what you put on...

I know that sounds mad but it is true to a degree what the nurse said. Like when you crave certain foods when pregnant its generally cos you are missing something (not sweet stuff generally though sorry haha) I craved oranges with Millie which I presume was a need for vit C. I also craved salt...

Lucky you not much partying going on here. I am hoping to go away Dh and I for 1 night next weekend as he is in a band and is playing a wedding coventry and they have paid for a hotel for the night so fingers crossed I will get to go too. I need an excuse to show off my new figure in a dress...

Hi Ladies I would like 5lbs off too which will make me the same as when I got married and my anniversary is on the 30th so that seems quite apt. xx

Yeah I have lost it a few times and am nearing my all time low at teh minute but officially still 3 and half stone to go xx

Thanks hun am very pleased. Would like another 7 off for christmas which would make me 15 which seems a nice round figure haha xx

Thats great news cherry. I had gestational diabetes with all of mine even though everytime I got pregnant i had lost a lot of weight. Don't worry too much about it I needed medication from abou 33 weeks which now you can have tablets and you don't have to inject thats as long as your blood...

Thanks everyone for your support its really appreciated. Fingers crossed things will be fine he has a job sorted starting Jan just got to get through the next few months. Also sat morning so it was weigh in and lost 3lb's xx

You got something to tell us Cherry? xx

Hi Boardwitless What i Sole source? xx

We are hoping he has a job as of Jan 1st but obviously we have no income this month or next! Which when you have 4 kids makes life pretty hard. We will survive though somehow have called benefit people and fingers crossed they get their arses into gear, never claimed anything so don't know how...

am secretly hoping I may have done it, weigh in tomorrow xx
