The Atkins book says you should stick to 1500 I read it last night. I don't think it's supposed to matter but I'm like you I'd rather keep track of both. Mfp is great for keeping track of carbs isn't it! I didn't use it last time I tried Atkins. V

I had a rash last time I did vcld but my doc said it was a virus. Then i got it again this time but took some of the tablets I had left over from it (naughty I know) and it went again. It comes on my hands, thighs, elbows and face. I've heard a couple if people say it on here. I didn't dare tell...

Oh yeah I've achieved my 11 stone goal too! I know I shouldn't have weighed yet but my name's Vicky and I'm a scale-a-holic. Next target is 10.11 which means I'm not overweight anymore! I'm hoping to get there by next Friday! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Day 2 down. So far so good :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes I did a week with two shakes and a low carb meal first and then moved to Atkins. That did the trick and I didn't gain but like I say I don't have time to gamble. The Atkins bunch thought weight loss would start after my body got used to change in diet but I made a decision to pop back over...

Yes it was really good!! Very strange eating all the f word but I didn't put any weight on as it's no carbs so I'll defo maintain on it :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I have a stone to lose in six weeks so I'm going to finish my exante packs. I have 10 days worth left and I'm on day 2! Lost 2 pounds already which I didn't think I would as I've been on Atkins for a few weeks! I will probs return to Atkins but no dairy as I maintained my weight for two weeks...

Back for a couple of weeks so honk for today :)

Hello! I'm off to Exante to finish my packs for 10 days then i'll be back. I'm not losing anything on this and i'm panicking aboutmy holiday drawing nearer! Atkins is fab but i dont have time to gamble so i'll be back next weekend. I'll be keeping my eye on you!!

I've did exante then moved to WS for a week then Atkins. I wanted to lose another stone but i didn't lose a pound however I haven't put a pound on in four weeks either!! I'll def go back to it for maintenance so it might be a way forward for you :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Still no weight loss! So I've spat my dummy out after six weeks dieting a tricky week at work and no carbs and ate not one but two treats. Cheesecake and chocolate. It feels so good! It will however be a different story when I'm killing myself at daybreak and I'll probably put a stone on...

Some advice, don't go to sainsburys at the train station for a reward for a very tricky week and buy cheesecake because I reckon that's a staller! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes its crazy that I've been on diets with no food!!!! I'll hang on with Atkins for another week but this stone needs to go so I'll have to go back to exante if nothing happens this week. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hello! I'm no expert in either of these diets but I started exante to kick start my diet which was fabulous although hard work. Lost 12 pounds in two weeks and that was enough for me! Living off shakes is not easy but I really admire those who do it for months and months because I couldn't. I...

Hi sue! Great that you are in same situation as me. Not great that we are not losing. Im going to give it another week as I'm LOVING eating but if it doesn't happen I'm going back to exante again for a couple of weeks. My poor body won't know what's going on. I think when you've done a vlcd our...

Drug and alcohol family work! You a social worker? I've been doing Atkins a week today although Saturday was a rehearsal so it's tomorrow really. I haven't lost one single pound. I'm really irritated! But I'll give it another week and if it doesn't work I'll punish/reward myself back with...

Yes it must be change in diet. I'm panicking because I've only got 7 weeks from my holiday and I can't afford to lose weeks! I've been writing everything down every day and checking out with my friend at work who lost two stone on Atkins so I don't think it's what I'm eating. I've also cut the...

Hi all, I switched from exante working solutions carefully and moved onto Atkins. I lost 12 pounds on exante and need to lose another stone.I've maintained same weight now for three weeks which I was happy with because I went from no food on exante to food now Atkins diet since Saturday...

Yippee! Cinta you are a life saver. I have never heard of scallions until I came on this site but I'll find some. I always have springys in the fridge and I'll head to tesco immediately after work for toms. I know I shouldn't weigh at night but I had major panic about eating hardly anything...

Ah thanks people. I nearly had a panic attack as my scales say I've put 8 pounds on since yesterday. I really really hope it doesn't stay like this!! I did just weigh now so it's last thing at night. Tell me it will all go by next weekend!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I had a trial run today I'm moving over from exante (after drinking lots of booze last weekend but almost sticking to shakes/ low carb!) I struggled with weighing of things a bit, for example when cooking mushrooms I wasn't sure what the cooked weight would be so I probably ate less or more I...

I had to go for a three mile power walk and do my weights today instead of the shred! My whole body aches and I was losing 3llb a week when I walked my dog every day which is what you do isn't it Nicky so I may alternate it. How you doing today? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

What a nightmare! Don't let it put you off though mate I've sts last few weeks. I think if you eat your body must freak out and cling onto the carbs!! You've prob weighed yourself at night as I did the other week and put four pounds on!! Also, while body gets used to exercise that probs impacts...

Hello! I've just done day 2. Jeez i hate that Jillian for what she's done to me! I think the motivator is a)the amount of sweat b)the fact it absolutely kills because it shows its working and most of all its under 30 mins.

Hiya pal! How you doing? I've been doing WS for a week, had wine etc and luckily not put one pound on, however not lost any either! I'm thinking it's the booze! I'm hoping that with the exercise I'll start losing again ( and can still drink at weekends!) I'll let you know how it goes. Not ideal...

You do right Nicky it's only a weekend and there'll be loads more!! It is depressing though. You fancy doing that 30 day shred DVD together? It's got some good reviews and it's only 20 mins/ half an hour a day?? I think I saw a thread on here but I can never find stuff after ive seen it once...

Ah this forum looks way fun! I'm on exante working solutions at mo but planning to come over to Atkins soon! Can I hang out on this alcohol thread until I do?! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Or you could consider WS which means you can average 10lbs a month weight loss instead of 14 a month. I'm trying it this week it's going ok but I don't really think eating half a chicken at night is what you're supposed to do!!! I do have more energy and feel less restricted but we will see next...

Hey i just realized you're only 4 lbs off 2 stone!! Go Nicky go Nicky!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Pretty good but I've developed a new psychological issue which is that I'm genuinely busy at work, today the water machine ran out so I had one shake due to no cold water then got in at 7.30 and had tea. Steak, kale cabbage and green beans. But I don't weigh anything and I think I might go over...

Hi dude. What's your job? Er I just tell my friends straight im not seeing them unless it's an alcohol or food free event which narrows it down to nothing then I get left alone for a few weeks!! Then you have to do real boring stuff like go for coffee! It's only for a short time just say no but...

I dont get that. We are all faced with food and drinks everyday!! It's eventually going to be a normal part of life again so it's a bit of a stupid rule. It's like nobody speaking about alcohol in front of recovering alcoholics. It's not going to benefit anyone. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Right Nicky let's get back on it! The diet that is, not the wine. Week of TS and evaluate on Friday x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hiya Nicky why not try WS for a week and see how that goes? You can plan meals then so you won't have a munch a thon! I think I'll stay same this week. I downed loads of wine last night my best friend came over. Felt rough today!! Ate again but no carbs so I'll get back on it tomorrow. Well...

You can mix the days. I can go through week easily on TS but have had dinner with my boyfriend at weekends. The exante booklet states what you can eat. Mainly meat and green salads. However, if you look at the recipes section at 400 calorie meals they include carbs on some but if you want to...

Weekends are crap on this diet! I ate dinner last night had curry no carbs like last week except our curry men gave my boyfriend free naan and rice and I had some!!!! Aaaargh! It was only a bit but I still did it. If I don't lose any weight on Tuesday after starving for the rest of week I will...

Thai Hi Nicky, I've investigated and apparently, cream (i think its thick/double cream) and coconut milk are quite low in the carb world. You could also just stick to a meat/veggie combo. Advice from other forums is to just ensure there is no sugar in the sauces. Let me know how you get on!! x
