had the same problem. They're more floppies than oopsies. Made mine in a muffin tray and couldn't get them out properly so they looked proper sad when they came out :o still tasted ok though very eggy

Wow, Trish, well done! Did first weigh in this morning and was happy with the result. Lost about 5 pounds and a couple of centimetres here and there. But I always lose this amount in the first week on any diet and then is slows down about 1/2 pound a week...which is not enough when you're...

Just finished the food diary and had a bit of a shock. Carbs are at 20 but the calories are almost 2000 :eek: will have to have a rethink on tomorrows plan...

let us know how it went. Am making my first attempt at oopsies tomorrow

ok ,then I'll save the soft bits for you two and you let me have the crunchy bits - sorted! :p

I haven't seen them in Tesco or Morrisons here :sigh: only the pork scratchings. Are the pork crunch in the same isle?

I've heard people on the forum mention pork crunch. Would anyone know where to get them? The pork scratching are ok but the soft bits aren't and am drinking tons of water because of the salt.

They are! Took two to work and had to tell the others they had special Atkins powder in them ;) so I couldn't share.

I used them last night to make the egg&sausage muffins. Yummy! I've hidden them in the freezer, everyone loves them so they were disappearing fast. And easy to make, my 2.5 yr old mixed the egg, cream and water :). He had a great time!

My goodness, you are fabulous! Thanks so much xxx

I LOVE this diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is the recipe on the recipe thread? Thanks

this might be a stupid question, but does a MIM have to be eaten straight away or would it stay ok for an hour or so on the way to work?

me too, but the mims are ok, I pick at them until finished (I say after 2 days of Atkins LOL) Am usually so busy and then the quickest snacks are the ones loaded with carbs, I now realise.

Sorry you're feeling bad, back pain is the worst! Hope you'll feel better soon. Don't give up!!!

Have been shopping that aisle for years because my little uns have allergies, it's usually the most quiet bit of the shop. For us, it's the chocolate and custard isle :)

Amazing! Well done you!!! x

Still need to go and buy the L&P tomorrow, ran out last week. Do you use the Atkins products? I can't decide whether it worth the money or not. they're quite pricey.

Sounds good! It's not something other diets recommend, is it? listening to your body. I've mostly been advised to ignore what it says when doing other diets, especially the hunger pangs. Am ready for tomorrow - planning to have the cheeseburger pie for dinner YUM!!!

I got to stop looking at this thread. My laptop is gonna stop working if I dribble on the keyboard (and how do you explain that in the shop?):eek:

Looks good! You can never have too many good recipe sites. I'm a decent cook but useless at making up recipes, I need instructions!!! LOL. Then I mess around until its perfect for me and my little monsters. Does anyone know any more good sites? I like the lighter side of carbs site.

Thanks:D!!! I felt really full all day...is that normal? I didn't have half the amount of food I normally have and didn't even eat for no reason (which I normally do a lot :o), because I felt so full

Hi kezzyBee! This board is great, everyone is really helpful and positive! Am quite new as well and picking up loads of tips and recipes.

Started this morning!:D Had coffee with double cream YUM (felt very naughty! after so many low fat diets) and a MIM with some butter. Am feeling very full now so that's promising. Am about to start making lunch - chicken with leafy greens. And we're having duck for dinner! It's not really...

:confused: It is really confusing. I have 'New Atkins New you' which seems for the US market and says to deduct. But I also have The all new Atkins Advantage which says on p. 15 that 'European countries and Australia don't consider fiber a carbohydrate', so it is listed separately and not...

Am in a flat, no garden. :( Kids all have hayfever which means no park for us either. But we've done loads of days out the past weeks and am still recovering so it's ok today... Will miss the choas when school starts again *SIGH*

Yep, working mummies' key word is organize! :p Am hoping to boil a couple of eggs and fry some sausages in advance for Monday. That way, when I get home I can tuck into them instead of crisps or toast. And I'm attempting some meal planning (my mother would be proud!). Not sure I can do any more...

Online grocery shop done and off to Holland & Barret tomorrow for vits and supplements! Can't wait to get started - only reason I haven't yet is because of a bottle wine that needs finishing :flirt2:. Am starting sunday instead of monday though. You all are such a positive force, it's like the...

Thanks, Jim! I'm so happy I found this forum, there's so many great tips and help!

Thanks, all!!! Have put my start date on next monday. I'm making my shopping list with help from this site. I like the book, but find this site more practical, less general.

Thanks for the ideas! I've had a look at the recipes and meal plans and am looking forward to trying out new things. It's going to be a whole new way of looking at eating. I think you're right and it will take a lot of organisation, but it's getting embarassing when my 2yr old squeezes my tummy...

Hi all, am very new, just registered in fact. I've been looking at the Atkins books for a couple of weeks and although it all makes perfect sense I keep postponing my start date. My main problem is what to have for breakfast (got 3 kids to get to school and nursery) and lunch (at work). Any...
