that is fantastic NB, considering you were struggling at the beginning of the week, well done :)

what an achievement, well done :)

I've (unfortunately) put on a pound this week :( BUT I have been slipping on being strict over the last week, so it's give me a kick up my baggy behind to get back on track, and not take the diet for granted! So back on track for me :)

thanks gg, it's a focal point for me! lol Jim, think having 2 legs is the better option ;)

OMG you poor thing, you did well to resist the roast and pavlova though, not sure I would have coped!! So well done you :)

It is very much so. I've stayed the same weight since I got married in 2008, well apart from creeping up a few pound. I know it'll feel even better next week if I could lose the same again, I'll be seeing that 9st somthing mark, me and 9 havent seen each other for a loooong while ;)

Cheers Jim :D

well done thats brilliant, I hope I am the same at the weekend ;)

Hi NB, and welcome (Im a newbie too ;)) I hope you get over this hurdle, I always find I have to tune my mind into the pro's of the diet, and just forget the cons of it. Try not to tune into the dread you're feeling, switch your mind to forget it, and think of that new body you want :)

I shall join in - not very exciting though! B- MIM L - Chicken mixed with mayo, cucumber, chives and soured cream, scooped in to little gem lettuce leaves with olives on the side D-I have left over kebab meat from last night, with a bit of mayo, and green veg (whatever's in stock)

aww thanks, thats encouranging :)

I must confess I had a couple of glasses of champagne yesterday for valentines day, feel guilty as hell today though!! But I did get through Friday and Saturday night without having a drink which is usually the challenge for me, so feeling very positive with the no drinking thing! I did weigh...

awww thanks all for the warm welcome :) I hope week 1 does surprise me, am enjoying it so far

thank you Laura, I shall keep it as a weekly treat!!

Hi just seeing that you drink Coke Zero, would just like to ask if you dont mind me butting in on your thread, is diet coke ok to drink? I have been drinking non stop water for the past 5 days and really fancied a coke, so gave in today with a diet coke but felt ever so guitly!

thanks both, I hope it works for me too, not expecting anything for the first week, just so I'm not disappointed on my weigh day next week!

thank you very much

I just thought I would introduce myself. I'm Leese, and I started the Akins diet on Monday. Just searched an Atkins forum as I'm sure I could learn a few things while on the diet. I'm looking to lose at least a stone and a half. I've tried to do diets before and never stuck to them. Although I...
