Good luck Sean you can do it, ur get all the help and tips from everyone on here and tbh being male your prob lose it very quickly as well, ur notice that 100 yard run will not be that difficult to do, I couldn't run and I used to be very fit. So I go out jogging at 6am so no one see's me lol...

Good idea, never thought of doing that, thanks.

Also no slimmm forum as not enough people doing it so I might post on here and get ur experiences and tips.

I have just started slimmm shakes I think it is similar to slimfast as I have two shakes per day, 2 100 cal snacks and a heathly dinner and lots of water. I must say I do prefer slimmm shakes especially the choc mint one tastes like an aero. Yummy. Anyone else tried these?

Wow have to try this

Thank you scrumbies, I know its fantastic to eat lol. X

First week on Atkins and -5 and considering i've come from CD to Atkins I m very happy. Fom 440 cals of starvation to counting carbs, so glad I changed. x

Cauliflower cheese is nice as well yummy.

I did cd only lasted two weeks, starvation and only 4 lb lost in two weeks on ss. So went onto Atkins this is my 1 st week I did a sneaky weigh in which isn't due till fri and losing on average 1lb per day for first week which is better than I did on cd. So Atkins all the way for me now. You...

I will join you all for a fri weigh in if you don't mind, this fri will be my 1st weigh in.

Thanks Katie. X

Put the equivant of your weight in a bag that you have lost and see how heavy it is, it helps me when I feel low and want to eat, just proves for me I am an emotional eater. Yes think of that beautiful wedding dress and the photos you will cherish forever, you want to look your best. X

I moved from a VLCD diet to Atkins I was only on VLCD for two weeks before switching and I have lost more weight in 5 days on this diet than I did on Cambridge, so don't worry. Trust me your love it remember to eat ur good fats don't be afraid. Trust me it works.

So I'll pay for it tomorrow. On day 5 now had 2 egg omelette and slice bacon for breakfast. Just had chicken with stir fry...

I haven't noticed a difference in my sleeping pattern, but I wake up few times in the night anyway, have done for yrs never sleep more than 4 hrs without waking. I used to sleep 8 hrs easy undisturbed but when I gave up the cigarettes about 8 yrs ago I have never slept right through the night...

Thanks everyone, all geared up to start mon now, done all food shopping now, read quite a lot of the book. Can't wait to get started now. Still alittle scared of using fat in the diet but I know you have to so won't skip on the fats.

What is a oopsie and how do you make them x I'm a newbie.

Suppose to start diet today but I had to put my beautiful cat to sleep, was up all nite with her she had convulsions, she was 18 so a good age but dieting is the last thing on my mind today. Think I'll start mon, when feel I can focus better. x

Thanks for all your input. X

Well done luv your getting there. X

Thanks like ur idea for mint sauce as well.

Thanks

Thanks girls I've never done Atkins before so i'm looking forward to eating lol. Quick question do you make your own mayo or is it shop brought. Not looked to see if carbs are in it. Think I might miss cheese and cream out for few weeks if it can slow down weight loss, thanks girls. Start...

Hi do you make your own mayo or can you buy shop brought.

Hi everyone I'm changing from Cambridge to Atkins, reason I don't like the lack of food you can eat, it's Los expensive and I was only on it to weeks and only lst 4 lb. seems very little for a diet of no more than 440 cals. Any advice for induction phase would be great. Eg would you skip...

At least chicken is allowed lol. X

Very interesting subject I would say I'm an emotional eater, so trying to address that at moment. Medical profession don't really class food as an addict not like drink, drugs and cigarettes.

I do hope so I'm just alittle embarrassed to tell the consultant but she is prob use to it. Thanks x

I can't believe I've been so stupid, my old habits crept back. Well I ate something I shouldn't of. I will def be out of ketosis so have to start again. I'm trying to look at this as a positive and realise I have a trouble with food, so food is banned. I,m back on track today I'm on ss+ but...

Do you think some people can have a slow weight loss journey, I know it's early days, but I the scales say lost nothing this week so far, weigh in fri. Only 4 lb in first week. I am not cheating, I promise on ss+. I hope not I will be so upset if scales say nothing this week o only couple lb...

Don't give in first week not easy but after that easy, so just stick it out, ur soon forget about food, you won't be there thinking of food any more which is a lovely feeling. You won't be hungry and the weight will fall off you. Good luck. Remember if you need some food do ss+. Your still have...

To loss 2.5 lb while on hol is fab.

I would use 810 rules if I can't get out of a meal, got meal booked 16th April at spa day so that should be easy, in may brothers wedding. Only planned events I've got at moment so that's good.

Oh thanks

Yes spangles will def do that I need a decent loss this week or I'll be very disappointed.

What are those?

I only had two shakes yesterday and two pts water, so smack on the hand for me aswell. More organised today. I do love not thinking about food anymore and not really being hungry. just shows we were eating out of habit, boredom, stress etc.

Try ss everyday but always lands up being ss+ lol x

Good luck today, who said choc cake lol. X

Good idea, just been the shops as well to get dog food and hubby's dinners, first time walking the supermarket that it hasn't bothered me, bonus. X

I would get a DVD for toning the beach body is good, 1 hr long do 3 times per week, it's not energetic, your notice difference in about 2 weeks. I wouldn't bother with the machine they don't really work. I've done loads of research has i was going to buy one, no really proof they work. Also a...

Hi everyone I am really struggling to drink min 4 pts water, sun was working all day and realised only had about 2 pts I will up it today, but do you think it slows weight down if you don't drink enough. I am on ss+. Thanks.

Hi all having a rubbish day, wasn't very well yesterday with the runs sorry to be so crude. I have a dry clean/ laundry buisness and like an idiot took on a big order which is due tomorrow. So I'm knackered and feeling sorry for myself. Hubby annoying me today he has been a lazy sod and done...

£1.85 sachets, tetras 2.10 not sure about the bars, not had them.

That's great well done, we all need the confidence boosts, makes it all worth the while. X

I only do toning exercises at the moment 45 min session 3-4 times per week.

Fel crap today, poorly sorry to be crude but had diarrhoea yesterday and tummy feels delicate today, so tried as well. On day 7. Typical got loads to do today, which as got to be done.

For me in the past it was a dress size for every stone I lost but I suppose everyone is different.

Who I would love to look like angelina Jolie, but that isn't going to happen lol. When I was thin I been told I look like Kelly brook and cat deeley nice compliment, i don't look like any, hubby was lovely said I looked better, lol being very polite. I'm me a lovely individual with a kind...

Yes it is right, contains mainly water that's why can have a lot of leaves and very low in carbs as well so won't knock you out of ketosis.

I had my first weigh in I didn't lose as much as hoped only 4lb, but it still is a loss, I am doing the ss+ pan so that will prob slow it up a little. Have introduced soups from today. Was going to try just ss for a week for better weight loss but I caved in and had fish and salad. I still feel...

I have lovely pair size 12 jeans I want to get into.

No such thing as big boned don't see any skelton bones bigger than others, a lot of it about being heavier is it is passed down from our parents, I mean in habits. My mom used to try and feed us up like big pigs. I imagine with your Italtian side the portions at your table were larger than...

Good luck on your journey, remember if you feel temptation remember why your doing it, get first few days out the way and ur be fine. X

What a shame Annie, can't you disappear for half hr x

Well done that's amazing are you on ss.

That's fantastic. Only lost 4 lb, but hey it's a start and its 4 off so hope next week will be as good or better. Keep up the good work Sinead.

Hi I only lost 4lb but it's start, wasn't a full week and not been drinking enough water so determined to lose more next week, might have to try ss now I'm not as hungry. How you dong angel sorry don't know ur name, unless it is Angel. I'm trying soups this week just had i think was veg and...

Hi everyone I am also starting my diary, I am sick of starting something and never finishing it. I was always slim until I gave up smoking 5 years ago, then I piled it on, done all the fad diets and slimming clubs but never got to goal. To be honest what ever I start lately I never complete...

Well done, I can't wait till I start losing the weight. You must be so proud. X

I choose shakes banana, strawberry, choc, choc mint/orange, vanilla they were all nice. Prefer choc, banana and strawberry. On my second week I will try the soups. I think I will avoid bars when I can have them, if I start on them I won't want to stop lol. I am so ss+ I try and do ss day but it...

Hi cathy I was afraid but excited about this diet, the first 5 days for me where the hardest. Once ketosis sets in it becomes easiler. My last supper I'm afraid to say was Chinese takeaway, naughty but I had to have it. I started on ss but day 2 in went on ss+ I personally needed a little...

Yes you def have lost weight, I bet you can't wait till tomorrow and I would never have put you at 20 st. Keep it up girl x

Well that's great I'll have. Look, if that is only in week one I bet you have lost inches else where. X I would say good luck tomorrow but you don't need it ur doing well.

Let us know how you get on tomorrow, mine is tomorrow sinead at 11 am dreading it, I have been good, was down my sisters earlier she was eating choc, I just had to sniff it but it didn't pass my lips promise. Lol

Sinead is it your first weigh in today?

Stick a fat picture of you on the fridge and a pic or note of the reason why you want to lose the weight, I have fat pic and next to it a pic of my hotel booked for July on the beach. Also the weight you lose put that amount in a bag and watch it grow. Your be amazed at how heavy that bag will...

Spangles woke this this am not feeling hungry so maybe day 5 have now gone into ketosis, looking at ur weight loss, it is very impressive well done.

I know it's hard to try and not weigh ourselves, but we must try and resist, all scales are different and your still have good lose you wait and see, hide them quick lol.

Hi let us know how you get on x

Hi everyone the average time to reach ketosis is 3-4 days. As anyone taken longer to reach it. Day 4 still not in ketosis on ss+ and haven,t cheated. I will test tomorrow but I am still very hungry so don't think I will be tomorrow. I went on 3 slimfast shakes and low fat meal week prior to...

Yes I totally agree with Annie stick to proteins and avoid all carbs, you will even stay in ketosis as well.

I really don't understand myself, yes you should certainly be loing the weight, I hope you get some answers from here, Good luck.

Yes sinead carry on as normal and if you have a ss+ don't worry, enjoy it. Remember at some point through this diet we do have to introduce food. So if every few days you need a little food, don't worry, at least you are only having the foods we can have. So you haven't cheated you are allowed...

I think under no circumstances am I coming out of ketosis, it just isn't worth it. Have a look at summer dresses few sizes smaller, it helps me. Keep smiling x

Few have said ss and ss+ didn't make any difference to weight loss, think only reason some do ss is because they feel if they eat they won't stop. So they choose not to eat. Me personally I need a small meal I don't think I would finish my journey else, don't worry it will not harm your weight...

Hi sinead as you know I was struggling with ss or ss+ well I spoke to my consultant about an hour ago, she said ss + is only extra 200 cals per day and it doesn't really affect weight loss journey over the whole month, it will prob be only 1-2 lb. so see how you go with ss but if you find it...

Yes 200 cals not a lot really and I will prob feel I'm not missing out then and i Know I can stick to ss plus easy. Thanks everyone made up my mind def ss plus. Looking forward to a little chicken and salad leaves later. X Lindsey

Very true Dani I shouldn't beat myself up about it but I feel guilty if I eat and at some point anyway going through the stages we have to start eating again. I will see how I feel tomorrow and we can only take it one day at a time.

I didn't cook it but hubby is sat next to me as I write this eating curry and naan. How rude lol

You know you do actually look like her from ur avatar pic, ur have them all queuing up girl lol

I would be happy with half stone in the first week. I will try just ss tomorrow I don't think it's a hunger think I think it's pure habit, which is even more stupid to give into.

Just be honest with her phone her I think she will have some great advice/ support to give you. They see lots of people give up but if they had spoken to their consultants first I bet non would of given up. We are not saints, temptation is everywhere getting back on the plan takes courage.

Oh Rosie I only started sat and was on ss but I've been having ss+ I'm annoyed with myself as originally I didn't want to eat, but I think I will need that small chicken or fish on the evening. Don't beat ur self up just get back on track the next day. I am now not leaving the house without...

Hi started the diet sat on ss but finding it to difficult so been doing ss+ so annoyed with myself, which I know I shouldn't be cause I'm still only consuming around 640 cals per day. I really wanted to go down the no food route, I wished I had the determination. is there really a big weight...

See you were worrying about nothing who knows what it will be by fri, kep up the good work.

It is hard to chose when we start the plan do we go ss or ss+ obviously depends on can we do it without food to educate our selfs to look differently at food. I'm on ss but day 2 in and had tuna and salad, I will try ss rest of the week and if I can't then simply have to go onto ss+. This...

Hi Rosie not sure which one is u on fb want is ur profile pic like or you can add me Lindsey Jackson was Osborne

Your doing so well, just think when ketosis sets in hopefully hunger pains will disappear and be full of energy. You will be that 10 st girl in those skinny jeans having a fanatic time.

On Facebook Lindsey Jackson was Osborne

Cause you can Rosie more the better, we can encourage each other through our wonderful weight loss journeys, here is the start off a new us. X

Candle bath sounds good to me, I look at summer dresses a few sizes smaller.

That's a great weekly weight loss bean flower I'll be very very happy with that on ss.

Let me know fri how you get on Sinead, i think your in for an amazing weight loss, does anyone have any so called friends who are a little nasty before we have really kicked off this diet. I'm annoyed two good friends or so I thought are already being nasty, it's not healthy you won't e able to...

Stick in there girls the reason I choose this diet is because you can't eat if you start on ss, for me that is what I need, I didn't want to eat, I know if I eat my diet will go out the window. So many people say stick in there for few weeks and you get into a routine, I've heard of people say...

Yes we will I'm so determined I tried other slim clubs lost a bit and given up, at leas results will be quick on this diet, can't wait for 1st weigh in fri morning. Got hol booked for Crete in July and it would be nice to go without looking and feeling terrible.

I think if I ate something I wouldn't stop I need to educate my mind to think differently towards love,

Your do it love, I need to lose around 3 - 4 stone, it creeps up on you without you knowing how can we not notice lol. I' m fed up of having no confidence and with the summer here before we know it and looking like a sack of spuds, things have got to change. Also my poor knees are suffering lol x

Well done sinead we should keep in touch with our journey seeing we started more or less the same time, have you done this diet before,I haven't but I am so looking forward to it.

Hi everyone day one went well, day two I feel fab surely this can't be right am I waiting for a big downslide perhaps on day three and onwards, i am not in ketosis yet, but I feel high and happy if you know what I mean. If this is what I am to look forward to bring it on lol. X

Well day one went ok, not to hungry yet lol, just had lovely choc shake tastes lovely made with crushed ice and blended really thick and creamy hummy. Got to get in routine so I'll have shakes 9 am 2 pm and 7 pm. Might try soups next week for lunch instead of a shake. Can't wait till I go into...

A good consultant is key to this diet, my lady is lovely, knowledgable and we get on great, I would change if not happy but I would speak to her first, she should know if you feel your not getting 100%.

I would tell them the truth and if they have nothing positive to say, tell them to say nothing. Good friends will help you all the way on your journey, unfortunately some friends will not, I believe jealously. So don't hide away from what you believe in, turning your life around to become...

Well only started today, but your posts give me encouragement, one thing noticed have a couple of friends who I feel are going to try and sabotage my plan. They are already saying don't need to lose weight and not once said well done for trying. They are trying to get me to go out for meals and...

I must try the soups next week, sounds lovely, Only on the shakes at the min.

Thanks I will def have set times to have my shakes, I might have my second one as hot choc drink thanks.

Thanks everyone it's only day 1 for me so can't wait till ketosis sets in, I do have 1 tbsp milk in my tea something I can't live without so I hope it won't affect me. Prob have 5 cups so 5 tbsps milk per day as well as shakes and water.

Well sat morning just had my very first banana shake very nice, what are everyone's favourite shakes and soup.

Just quick question after 3-4 days when you go into ketosis if you ate carbs I am assuming you will have to go through the process all over again, so it isn't worth slipping up on this diet. I would hate to go through the tiredness and headaches then have to repeat the whole thing to get to a...

Well done Nikki I start tomorrow I go to Crete in July and ideally want to loss 3 stone, My consultant said not to worry if put on weight on holiday, chances are your be able to lose what you put on within a couple of weeks. Good luck with your journey.

Hi everyone I start the diet tomorrow (sat) excited but also a little scared. I'm doing ss 3 shakes per day, but I'm so afraid of the headaches and tiredness, does that go away when keratosis sets in.

While I,m waiting to start the diet I have cut back on food last two days to help me really get into this new diet, I have been having two diet shakes and one homemade soup followed by small piece chicken or fish with salad, started this sun and mon on third day till consultant gets me on track...

Fantastic weight losses girls, consultant coming around tonite, can't wait to start now. Linz x

Yes I am anaemic and do take iron tablets, consultant Said I need to speak to my GP first before I consider this plan. Thanks. Linz

Iva good luck with the wedding later on the year and lots of babies to follow x

Let us know how your 1st weigh I went Deb

Hi can you take extra vitamins, iron tables while on this plan.

Thanks everyone yes I think this is the diet for me I have emailed a consultant in my area, so hopefully start very soon.

Hi I have been thinking of this diet but I am worried that because of the extreme small amount of calories you are allowed it would be to difficult to stay on track. Can you tell me how difficult it is to stay focused and how long did the hungry pains last till you settled into this diet...

Yes I work from home and yes 1st week was so hard but I think the longer you are on it your body must adjust. Well it is a sun with snow on the ground so I will cook a sun dinner without the fat and plenty of vegetables, will look at the weigh in posts. thanks x Lindsey.

Hello everyone starting slimfast today need to lose 3 stone any advice or tips would be appreciated. Was thinking of fruit with homemade dips and homemade soups as snacks instead of slimfast snacks. Lindsey

My favourite is corriander dressing, blend together a little fat free natural yogurt, chilli, sweetner, lemon juice and corriander. Pro points for the amount yogurt you use, tastes like the mint sauce you get in the curry houses, in fact it was the waiter who gave me the recipe. Delicous over...

weight watchers sausage and mash is very nice.

What does everyone do to keep on track. I have a rucksack with the weight in i have lost and if i'm feeling an urge to raid the kitchen, i put my rucksack on and walk around the house for a bit. It stops me in my tracks, cause i think i'm not putting that back on. I also keep diary sheets of...

yes was slim fast, the consultant at heartlands hopsital told her that is what they are recommending now for fast weight loss before surgery. She was on it for a while as well.

is it possible to kick start this diet with say 4 milkshake drinks and fruit for one week, then start properly. Only asking as my sister in law was told by her doctor to drink just 3 shakes a day to lose weight for 1 month, before an operation. She did this and lost 3 stone. So surely if a...

mine isn't a meal but when i have salad i pour it on everything, my local curry house gave me the recipe for mint sauce dip. measurements are trial and error. fat free plain yogurt fresh corriander sweetner lemon juice pinch chilli or fresh chilli blend all together, this is same as the curry...

i use mayflower chinese powder from farmfoods, not many syns to make a curry and it tastes lovely 4 syns for 100ml made up as directed, tastes like chinese takeaway curry sauce, i have mine on a fri with slices of chicken, beef, mushrooms, prawns, onion and few peas, make mine so it is like a...

had my 1st tue weigh in and lost 7 lb i am so excited

thanks everyone, i'll see how i go but am lovin it

i'm not eating much carbs mainly yog and fruit for breakfast, homemade soup lunch, fruit and veg to snack on in the day and fish or chicken with salad on evenings. Must be change of diet and i don't think i'm drinking enough water. thanks My previous diet wasn't that different apart from too...

Hi everyone just found this site, my god it is amazing, so just a quick question started slimming world diet last week and had fab 1st week lost 7 lbs. But was wondering if anyone else, when they started this diet felt really bloated and uncomfortable, in fact today i feel so bloated i can't...

I agree slimming world is the healthy choice and it doesn't feel like a diet, best to lose it slow and make heathly eating choices become part of your life. Who really wants to eat saturated fats, loads sugar. I don't even like the taste of sugary or fatty foods any more. Good luck on your mission.
