That's fantastic! :D You have to be chuffed with that! :) 15 lbs is actually 6.81 kilos -even more than you thought! Quite an achievement at this time of year! Keep it going! :happy096:

I do a sort of Atkins diet I suppose! :) I have been having an Atkins vanilla shake (available in tins at the supermarket) with physlium husks for breakfast- made up into porridge. For lunch I have an Atkins shake (chocolate) About 4pm I have an Atkins bar, & for dinner I have a low carb meal ie...

Thanks Dragonfly, yes- I certainly could drink more water on work days- difficult to do at work sometimes! ;)

I weighed in this morning & I only lost 1.5 lbs. Better than nothing I know, but I think I have to get moving a bit more. :) I really want to make a difference by Christmas! ;)

You're off to a great start! :) Well done! ;)

What a fantastic loss! :D You've made a great start- keep it going! ;)

Congrats! :D That's a lot of weight! Hope next week is good too! ;)

Ah thanks for the info.! :) Sorry for crashing in on this thread! ;)

That is amazing! :eek: No wonder you're chuffed! ;)

What is the best time of day to test with the stick? :) The colour pink seems to vary with the time of day! ;)

Wow! :D You'll be fit as well as slender! Go for it! ;)

Oh you poor soul! :) I reckon the colder weather makes the whole dieting thing so much harder! Stick with it though- it's well worth the effort on weigh in day! ;)

Fantastic! :D It's great to see those results! ;)

Wow! :eek: You are doing a super job! Well done! ;)

Yay! :D What a brilliant start! ;)

Congratulations Lily! :D You're doing a great job! Good luck with the exam! ;)

Oh well done! :D You are making great progress! ;)

Well it was my 3rd weigh in this morning, & I only lost .66 lb or 300 grms! :sigh: I'm doing a low carb/low cal diet plan which includes shakes or bars during the day, & a low carb/cal meal each night. I think I have been having too many low carb vegies each day cos the keto stick hovers...

You are on your way! :) Best of luck & let us know how you go! ;)

You're going very well! :D I reckon you'll have just as big a loss this week! Best of luck! ;)

Oh that's awful! :eek: Maybe they'll finish it early! ;)

Best of luck, you can do it! ;)

What super news! :D This dieting certainly seems to pep up the fertility! :eek: I hope you have a trouble free pregnancy & birth! ;)

I had a personal trainer at the Gym I go to- I had 10 X 1/2 sessions with her & it was great! :) Not cheap though, but the program was tailor made to my specific needs & targeted the areas that needed targeting! :o I'm in Australia though, so I suppose that isn't much use to you. Best of luck...

I would love to! :D -if that's OK?! I'm not doing SS though. I'm doing a very low carb/cal diet though & checking my ketosis each day. ;)

Oh no, :eek: you poor soul! :) Mind you I had to laugh at your post (sorry- that sounds cruel from where you sit! :o) There is a funny side to your misery but it will probably be some time till you can see that! Hope that you feel better soon- just put it down to experience & move on! ;)

A hot drink certainly helps, but I always want soup when I'm cold! :) Thank goodness we are just about into summer here in Australia, but I do sympathise with you guys! ;)

Yipee! :eek: What a super loss! ;)

Yes I have some of those body composiotion scales, & they are great! :D They're pretty expensive though. I'm doing a mixture of weights & cardio at the Gym, but then I'm not on SS. Perhaps the timing of your exercise is important- perhaps try doing it about 1 hour after eating!? ;)

Yay! :D Congrats to you! ;)

Oh wow! :eek: Good for you! :)

That's good stuff, isn't it! :) Thanks for that! ;)

Yay! :D What a great job you're doing! Well done! ;)

Pretty much a stone! :eek: Awesome! ;)

Fantastic news! :) I've heard of this happening after weight has been lost- peps up the fertility! That's wonderful! ;)

I always take my own music to the Gym with me! :) This helps the time go more quickly for me- I just plug the headphones in then off I go! ;)

The very best of luck! :) You will be able to support & encourage each other on the way! ;)

That's a super loss! :D Very well done! ;)

6lb? :eek: :D That's an awesome loss! Very well done! ;)

Oh well done! :) You're off to a roaring start! ;)

Wow! That's excellent! :D Congratulations! ;)

Welcome back! :) Take one day at a time, & you'll see- you will make a huge difference by Christmas! ;)

That's inspirational stuff! :D Well done! ;)

Congratulations! :D That is fantastic news! ;)

Welcome back Holly! :D It's a good time now- time to make a real difference before Christmas! Good luck! ;)

I think the diary is a great idea to keep you focussed! :) You have the best incentive next June to keep you on track & I'm sure you will be successfull! I look forward to following yoiur progress! ;)

Bio Oil is a great product for me! :D It's suppose to be good as one loses weight too! ;)

Riding a bike makes a difference too! :) Since I started doing 40 minutes 3 times a week on the statioary bike at the Gym- my shape changed quite dramatically & that was without a lot of weight change too. I was trying to cut down, but not as seriously dieting as I am now! ;)

Fantastic! :D What a great start you have made! ;)

Hey good for you! :D You've probably used every muscle in your body! Keep it moving! ;)

Wow! :D What super progress! Very well done! :) I had trouble changing my ticker yesterday- in the end I had to abandon it! :sigh: Mind you I'm pretty challenge computer wise! Have another good week! ;)

Thanks so much for the support! :D

Wonderful! :eek: Imagine how you will look & feel by Christmas! ;)

That's a great loss! :) Keep it going! ;)

9 lbs in 3 weeks is certainly worth posting about! :eek: -in fact it's worth shouting about! Well done! ;)

You are an inspiration! :) Congrats to you! :clap:

That's great! :D You're at the top of the hill- now you just have to go down which is much easier! ;)

Yay! :D What incredible losses! :) Very well done! ;)

Yippee! :D That is good news! ;)

Good luck! :D i'm really looking forward to seeing how much you lost! :)

That's a fantastic result! :D Well done! ;)

That's wonderful news! :D I'm very happy for you! :)

Thamks a lot for this! :) I have a pedometer & I dug it out when I started this diet 2 weeks agao. I find that I easily do the 10,000 steps a day even on days that I don't go to the Gym! Usually it's between 12,000 - 14,000 :eek:. Just walking to the car for work, shopping & normal life is...

Oh well done Lily! :eek: That's a fantastic result! ;)

Congratulations! :patback: That's an awesome amount! ;)

3.5 is great! :eek: Well done! ;)

Good luck to you! :)

Congrats on losing the 1.5! :D That's great! ;)

Well it's Tuesday morning here in Aus so it's weigh in day for me! :) I lost 1.2 kgs or 2.86 lbs as you say over there! ;) Not as big a loss as last week, but that's to be expected. If I lose this much each week I'll be happy enough. ;)

The best of luck to you! ;)

You sound as though you really mean business! :) Go for it & the best of luck! ;)

My husband lost quite a bit of weight on Atkins a few years ago- he is a meataholic & enjoyed it immensly! :p I think one has to be careful about the saturated fat intake though- he would eat piles of red meat & full fat cheese plus cream in his coffee, & though the weight certainly came off...

Not here in Ausralia! They go forward an hour which means an hour less sleep! :eek::(

Oh well done! :) You're doing a great job! ;)

I buy them on line! :) It seems easier than wondering about all the questions. ;)

I have a pedometer which I have been wearing, but I'm not energetic enough to power walk- it's more like a sedate walk! :p I make sure that I do 10000 steps a day at the very least though. Maybe I should start getting more energetic about it!:)

Wow! Look at you! :D You look very slim! ;)

It's definitely bread for me! :p

That's a great result! :D Congratulations! ;)

Yes, I think it's a great idea for staying on track! :) I'm doing a low carb diet at home & will come here each Tuesday for the same reson. You are doing a great job! :)- see you here next Monday! ;)

Oh wow! :eek: That's an amazing transformation! I bet you're looking forward to this Christmas! Congrats to you! ;)

That's a super loss! :D Congratulations! :) You've made a great start! ;)

That's a beautiful dress! :) Go ahead & order the 14- you look stunning! ;)

What an awesome start! :) You're on your way! ;)

That's an excellent result! :) Well done! ;)

That's great news! :D Congratulations! ;)

Oh well done! :D What a fantastic start! ;)

Congratulations! :D That's a great start! ;)

Well done! :) 9lb is a super loss! :D

That's a wonderful loss! :D Congrats to you! :patback:

Congratulations! :flowers: That's an incredible loss! :D

Oh well done Emma! :D You're going great guns! ;)

Fantastic! :D You must feel a new person! Great news! ;)

Thanks so much for the support everyone! :cool: I hope I can have good loss again next week! :)

:D:D Ha! Ha! Ha! I must admit I always weigh 1st thing in the morning, after my shower, but before clothes, food or drink! I do have to wear my glasses though or else I won't see the result! :sigh:

mmm... yes that's right! :) I started a 10 week weight loss count down to Christmas last week- so far, so good! :D Time to make a pressie list & get moving! It's also time to get that cake & pudding made i guess! ;)

mmmm... I'm coldish too! But for me it's definistely the ketosis cos I live in Australia. Yesterday it was 29 outside & I still felt chilly! :o My hubby thinks I'm crazy! :D

Well done! :D That's a great effort! :)

The 1st 3 days are the hardest so it should be much easier now! :) Keep it going! ;)

Congtartulations Christie! :D That is a great effort! ;)

What about a hot cup of tea or coffee? ;) I'm sure that after the 1st week it will become easier- but the water thing is there to say I suppose! :)

Congrats you Lily! :clap: That's a fantastic loss! Well done! ;)

Well I started exactly 1 week ago so today is the 1st weigh in. I lost 7.7lbs or 3.5 kgs! :D Either way I'm absolutely stoked! Roll on next week! :whistle:

I'm so sorry to hear about the Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have a cousin who has it & recently they have put her on some new medication which seems to help the pain. Health problems are a very good motivation for diet. :) 10 lbs is excellent! :patback: Very well done- keep it going! ;)

Best of luck in your new & hopefully your final diet venture! :) I look forward to following your progress! ;) Come & talk to us here & let us know how you go! Actually I finish my 1st week tomorrow & I am excited about my weigh in tomorrow. :)

Congratulations! :) What wonderful news! ;)

Hello there & welcome! :D Best of luck & do let us know how you go! ;)

Oh yes, I've heard that ketosis & alcohol aren't the ideal mixture! :party0036: Hope you feel better soon! I also hope you had a great B'day! I have already made up my mind that regardless of my weight, I will have wine with Christmas dinner! ;)

I take an extra wide fitting- 6EEE which limits the choice of style a bit! :sigh: mmm... maybe the feet will become less wide?! :)

Thanks so much for this! :) I can relate so well! ;)

Oh that's great! :) Well done! ;)

I haven't been on my present diet very long this time, but I have been on some sort of diet for most of my life :( & I've noticed this too! I don't know why it happens, but gosh it's a great day when it does! :D

What an incredible start you have made! :) Well done! You are on your way! ;)

The very best of luck! :) The ketosis does make a huge difference to the way you feel, so hang in there for those 1st few days! -& drink drink drink! :D Be sure to let us know how you go! ;)

Thanks for your support BuxomWench & Mini! :) & yes, BuxomWench, she is! ;)

Stick with it! :) The 1st week of any diet is always the worst- I know, I've tried most of them! :p In the next couple of days it will all seem better! ;)

I'm looking forward to feeling a lot more confident! ;) What a great thread! :)

Welcome back & the best of luck! :)

Tracey the best of luck! :) You can do this,- come & talk to us often & let us know how you go! ;)

Wow! :D You are making great progress! ;)

40 minutes?! :eek: I'm mightily impressed! Now that's motivation! :)

If she does, tell her that she isn't welcome! ;) 7 lbs is great though! :D

Why not? :D Anything is possible! Go for it! ;)

What a great effort! :) I'm sure you will be rewarded on Tuesday! I don't suppose we'll ever get over mourning for the loss of certain foods- for me it isn't the cakes, muffins etc it's more basic things like bread & spuds! :sigh: - & red wine! I'm really looking forward to seeing how you go...

I think you are through the hardest part now! :) Each day will be easier now! ;)

Keep going Jax! :) You're going well! ;)

Good luck! :) Let us know how you go! ;)

Thankyou Dragonfly & the best of luck to you too! :) Well I hope to get to 9 st so I've a way to go yet- another 44 lbs! ;)

Hello everyone, I started dieting on Tuesday & I've already lost 6lbs! :eek: I just can't believe it! Now I can't wait till the 1st week is up to have another look! I live in Australia where there aren't as many options available for low carb dieting. My daughter helped me to devise a diet...

Good for you coming back! :) I agree- 3 lbs is nothing! You've done very well! Best of luck! ;)

Best of luck Sugarplum! :) You'll soon be in the swing of it again! ;)

Oh great! :) You'll be right now- off to bed & then day 2! From now on it's all easier! ;)

What a fantastic start you have made! :flowers:Congratulations! ;)

Wow! :bliss:That is quite a work of art! I hope you all have a lovely party! :)

I agree- nothing to feel ashamed about! :) Any loss is a plus! :D Perhaps you could drink even more water which might help the bowel problem?! Keep posting- it really does help! ;)

That is inspirational stuff! :D Congratulations! You have made incredible progress! -& what a difference it has made to your life! Keep it going! ;)

The best of luck to you Anna! :D You will be a new person by Christmas! ;)

Well you did have a loss- so it isn't so bad! :) Hope you have a great B'day & really enjoy yourself- Sunday is the start of another week after all! ;)

Good luck Lou! :D I'm sure many lbs will be gone by December! ;)

mmmmm..... for me it's a big glass of red wine! :banghead:

Hi there Hollywoodheidi & welcome! :D Yes this is a great site! I'm on day 3 now & have been reading & posting like mad! It certainly helps. Best of luck with the weight loss! ;)

Yeah, I think it's all to do with water/salt levels! I've been dieting all my life :eek: & have noticed this a lot, but the low carb type of diet is new to me & I'm hoping that the weight will just goes down from now on! :confused: It's only day 3 so we'll see! ;)

I have bought some keto sticks but haven't used one yet. I'm on day 3- maybe tomorrow I'll be in ketosis? I think it takes a day or 2 to show up! ;)

That's a super loss! :D I hope your 2nd week is huge too! ;)

Oh no! :sigh: There is nothing more stressful than a really sick child! Hope she is on the mend soon! Don't worry about the bread- there is always tomorrow! ;)

Best of luck! :D Just imagine how good you will look & feel in 4 weeks time! ;)

That's incredible! :patback: I bet you're excited! Have another great week! ;)

Oh no, you must keep it! :) Before you know it you'll find it's too big! That's great news- I'm green with envy :jelous: but still have a way to go before a size 10! Keep up the good work! ;)

That's nearly 1/2 a stone! :D Good work! ;)

Wow! :D That didn't take long! Good for you! ;)

mmmmmm yes, I'm a bit concerned about this! :confused: I've heard that swallowing flaxseed tabs helps, but this probably doesn't fit in too well with a VLCD! Flaxseed oil certainly has calories! :)

I had my day 1 yesterday- know what you mean about the bathroom trips! :sigh: I reckon we'll be laughing on the 1st weigh in day though! Cant wait! ;)

You're disappearing! :) Well done! ;)

Yes I agree! The big picture is looking good! :) Tomorrow you'll be back on the job! ;)

That's super! -a big difference that must be very visable! :D I think I better start measuring coz it just might be more encouraging than weighing! ;)
