Hello everyone! I've been reading posts on this site for a long long time and finally joined my local SW class last Wednesday. I am 8 weeks pregnant and my starting weight was 13 stone 6 pounds. Last night I was down to 13 stone 3.5 pounds which is a loss of 2.5 pounds. Yeah me!!! My ideal...

Hi ladies! Hope you all are well. I'm great - went for my weigh in last night after one week on plan and lost 2.5 pounds so am now 13 stone 3.5 pounds. Was very happy overall as I had an indian meal on Saturday, big roast dinner on Sunday (all trimmings) and then a 12inch pizza that night...

Hi Mummy2BSlim Thanks for that - you've made my day!! Extra Easy with 2 A's and B's - that is a dream plan!!!! I've promised myself that I'm going to make one new recipe per month and my hubby the same so I'm off to buy ingredients for fish pie - he has yet to decide what he's doing for May...

Hello everyone - can I join in! I'm 7 weeks pregnant on our first baby and really want to control my weight gain. Think I've put on 7 pounds since I found out (have been eating for 2,3,4,5 and 6!!) So I joined my local class last night and weighed in at 13stone 6. My ideal weight would be...

Hi everyone I'm new here and new (ish) to SW. It's just come to Ireland so I've read lots about it but no class near me so I've joined online. I cannot find food lists online...for e.g. lists of free foods in M&S or Aldi. I thought it would be a good idea to look at the lists, pick...

Hi all Well after loosing half a pound last week I went to a fab wedding at the weekend. Had a ball and of course binge ate on Sunday and Monday cause I was totally hungover. Then I stayed with my sister on Tuesday and Wednesday and her diet is terrible and she always has the most carb filled...

Hi Lesley Well I must have jinxed it yesterday. I weighed myself and was almost 2 pounds down. Then today my official weigh in day I'm only 0.5 pounds down!!!! I don't mind too much cause I reckon it is water retention or something and it should be gone by next Friday. Anyway losing a...

Hi all Not too many people posting on this board! But I'm wondering....do you count calories. I know Irish Molly does but from what I've read in GL Diet for Dummies and Patrick Holford GL Cookbook it seems counting calories isn't required. Bit confused really. I think I'm set to loose 2...

Hi Lesley Thanks for replying. You are doing great since moving over to low GL. I bet the STS weeks were hard to cope with. I find that so demoralising! Anyway I'll be weighing myself on Friday after a week of this way of eating. I did great yesterday however was hungry going to bed but...

Moving to low GL Hi guys Just wanna say a big thank you to all those who have replied to my posts. I've decided to move over to Low GL (bought book on Sat and have been following it since). I just found that I was not looking forward to food at all eating this way and have been missing veg and...

Hello everyone! I followed the Atkins induction diet for 14 days and lost 6.5pounds. However, I've decided that I just couldn't stomach the food much longer. Really missing veg. So I bought the Low GL Diet for Dummies book on Saturday and have been following the principles since. I have 14...

Thanks a mill guys. You are all so good. Onwards and downwards!! L

Hi guys Well I've been on induction for 14 days and weighed in on day 11 and had lost 6.5 pounds. Weighed in again this morning as Saturday will be my official weigh in day and guess what - scales haven't budged. I know it's only 4 days really but to have lost nothing is so frustrating. Now I...

Hi I just typed in .5 and it accepted it. I didn't think it would because it said whole numbers only but it did? Those .5's very important!! L

Hi all Just wondering about making a pavlova with splenda? Has anyone tried this or made meringue (sp?) nests? I thought it would be nice with berries and fresh cream. Funny how I'm thinking of deserts more so whilst on Atkins? Libby

Thanks all! Vicky - I wish I was 11 stone! Well done you. I think at 11 I would be v. happy and fitting into size 12 rather than 14. 11 is my first target - will see what I feel and look like then. Have you been 144lbs before or how did you work that out as your target? Lib

Thanks Vicky I just did that now. It's great to see figures going down! L

Hi all I've been away for a few days so did not get to weigh in after 7 days so today after 10 days on induction I've lost 6.5 pounds. Delighted really! I did eat some berries and went out for dinner twice (as low carb as I could) so I'm happy. I don't know how to do the profile thingie on...

Hi Petal! Well I'm only on day 5 today so we are both starting almost together. As far as I've been told, calories are not the issue and don't get hung up on them. Carbs are what matter so you can eat as much as you like but trying to keep carb limit to 20g per day. I am not actually counting...

Hi Susie Not so hot on the energy front today. I just MADE myself do 30 mins on treadmill (am back from hols one week today so decided it was time). I nearly had to tie myself to the silly machine. No headache really - only minor heavyness. Onwards and downwards! L

Thanks all. Feeling a bit better today. Woke up hungry unlike yesterday. Still have a bit of a headache and terrible taste in my mouth (ketosis - yipeeee). But I've managed to clean two bathrooms and bedroom from top to bottom so that says something about my energy. When eating carbs I would...

Well done! You really are doing brilliantly. I'm only starting on this journey and it's only going okish but to read your post was inspiring. Thanks L

Thanks Susie. I had a MIM with small bit of cheese and ham after being up for a couple of hours and feel a bit better. I'm praying I'll feel better in a couple of days....energywise. Good luck to u. L

Hi all Woke up this morning (day 3) and can't eat!!! This is VERY unusual for me! My tummy is just very dodgy and sick. Please tell me this won't last too long. I think this is why I stopped this plan a few years ago. I'm going to try and stick with it by eating v plain food - any ideas...

Thanks for that. He could make it in the morn and bring it with him so. We haven't made them yet so hopefully they will go down well. Lib

Hi me again! My hubby is doing this with me and is back to work tomorrow so I'm trying to think of lunch ideas. Salad and some type of meat/fish is fine but could he make a MiM in the morning and bring it for lunch? Do they last well? (What a nice concerned wifey I am!!) Libby

Wow - thanks for all the great replies. Well I've only drank decaff so far yesterday and today but am dropping a wee bit of skimmed milk in. Only a tiny drop and am going to try to wean myself off it. Thanks guys - great to have such help. Today's menu will be something like this: B - 2...

Hi all I've been reading this forum for quite a while and today is my first day on Atkins (well low carb!) I have tried every diet in the world and cannot loose the 2 stone - I've been trying for years. I did do Atkins before but I for some reason then thought veg was bad and really only ate...

Hi Circes Thanks for such a quick reply! So if I had half I presume I would count it as 4 syns overall on EE Lib

Hello everyone... I'm going to give SW a try. I've heard so much about it although I'm living in Ireland and there are no classes in my area yet so I'm going to be looking for lots of support! I haven't gone shopping yet as I'm only starting today but in my freezer I have Aldi Oakhurst...
