mastering our demons...

Lovin our bod's xxx

Knocking them dead!! Oh yeah!

Daring .... We will all Dare to do anything once we lose our ball and chain

:eek:!

I feel the same at the moment. Its great to not be craving and it makes me feel in control, but I find I just cant face breakfast at all. The only reason its ok at the moment is cos I on holiday and I can eat nearer lunchtime. But I think when I get back to work I might have a shake at breakfast...

Sparkling water is my lifesaver!!! Sainsburys Caledonian for me.

yep, and you can pick up your meat, cheese and veg at the same time ;)

fantastic! Well done xxx :):)

I know I'm late but can I join please? 18 wk till xmas. 14.3 now. Want to be 12.3 for xmas (28 pound to loose). About 1.5 a week ;)

YAAAAAY! Good for you, well done babes x

Me 2 x

Lots of positivity from me too, look how well youve done previously ...... you can do it!!!! x

Awwww thanks Bren :D xxx

A little something that brightened up my day ..... After my very favorite Lancome foundation was discontinued about 18 months ago, I do not know how many times I have wasted 10/15/20 pounds trying to find a good replacement. With my new love of all things Aldi I purchased a two pound...

Can I just say how impressed I still am by the way you guys all support each other. I have taken a sneaky peak through some of the other forums, and I know I am biast, but I think we got the best!! Big up the atkins crew!! Anyway ..... As for me? I feel like I've had a right rough few days...

I honestly think that's a great loss! You seem to be doing everything just right! There are some of us that have experienced very rapid weight loss with quite extreme diets, but it can be a struggle to find a long term solution that is maintainable. I would say if you are enjoying what your...

Yey. Come on guys ... The more the merrier!!! X

Hang in there babes!!! Think how good you will feel when your thin!x

Oh Great ..... Thats made me feel a lot better :sigh: An adjustment period I can handle, but the thought of being doomed to a lifetime of screwed up metabolism is a tad depressing. There must be people out there who have managed the transition successfully? Bren? Your doing great judging by your...

well done! Better than nothing x

Hmmmm sounds delicious! Thanks for all your suggestions guys. I am going to try an avacado and bacon salad for lunch today:)

Its not easy is it? Finding the right balance for your own individual lifestyle. I sometimes think I'm doomed to a life of returning to shakes and going without food completely for periods of time (as I have done for two years!!!). Thats why I really whant to get this atkins milarky right for me...

Pregnant!!! Jeez, not much chance of that! I think I had a proper low blood sugar because I recovered so well after eating a proper meal last night. I feel ok again this morning, but I can just feel my reserves are running low. I just need to work out why cos I thought atkins was suppost to...

Whats happened to me today? I have had such a down day after feeling so good. I just dont understand??? Been out for a day trip that involved over an hour driving followed by 7 hours walking and then the driving back. I had a brathurst Sausage with egg and mushroom for breakfast and felt ok...

Go girl!!!!!!

:) Morning Steve. Glad your feeling more positive. Have a good day! :)

Wow! Now I been hanging around for a while I can suddenly see your photies. Well impressed. Big shout out too Bren and Jim especially ;);)

Sounds promising! Thanks guys xxx

Yey heeeey!!! Well done Missy! Keep it up.....theres nothing like that feeling xxx

It's not easy is it? Everyone has their achilies heel and I guess for most of us on here this is it x x x

Awww rachael, sorry Hun. Drink lots, stay away from the kebabs! And whatever you decide just keep focused and accessing support. Hope you feel better soon x :(

I would think that's perfectly achievable .... Good luck fx

Good!:):):)

Thanks nina and welcome back! Your right everyone is so helpfull and patient .... As I seem to have 101 questions I need to ask. This diet is so different to my usual mindset and I want to get it right! The support really helps.

I bought one yesterday, but not sure as to the best way to enjoy it. Any suggestions?

Being a great lover of all things Greek I love total yoghurt and actually prefer it to cream. Checked yesterday and it contains only slightly more carbs than double cream. What do we think? Yes or no on induction??

Morning Steve! Hope you have a good day x

Yep, I know what you mean. The cereal subs are just not the thing for me. A sausage. Scrambelled egg and mushrooms, now that's the way to go!!!

Yeeeey, well done everybody :D

My cheeseburger pie was obviously a slight deviant. Mince was cooked with same ingrediants, but I topped it with cauliflower mash ( cauli, butter, cream, cheese and my daughter insisted on cayenne pepper ... Was fab addition!). I think was prob about 6-7 carbs a portion tho, more than the recipe...

Changed mind for dinner and made 1st cheeseburger pie!!!! WOW this diet just gets better and better

Thanks guys! Love philly!!

You must be gaining muscle, it might be worth investing in a set of scales that work out percentages in body weight. You have been so inspirational in your posts and seem so focused. It's not the end of the world to just reduce the exercise a bit for a week or two and see if it does make a...

Any suggestions for best type of cream cheese? Now I discovered MIM's my minds running riot with the options available to me!!

Hmmm Love cauli mash, especially with a nice peice of gammon ham!

Whats the difference between these two diets?

Scrambled egg all the way, boring I know!

After years of beating myself up for being an emotional eater/binger I have finally discovered that a low carb diet makes ALL of these symptoms disapear. Inside your head OR physical reaction to the wrong diet??? :confused:

Hmm Will have to check it out. Anything that helps me understand my own behavoiurs has to be a good thing!!!

Well worth it though!

Fantastic story and so inspirational:D

B. MIM (my new best friend!), bacon and scrambled egg L. Tuna and mayo salad D. Chicken stirfry W. 4 litres Had to admit defeat on the caffiene front :sigh:. Did 24 hours, but felt very deprived even though I did find a very nice filter decaf. Just had a proper cup and loved it. :o Ahh well...

I stayed the same this week and I am well chuffed with that!!! Had three full days out with picnics etc and two evening meals out this week, the second of which involved a LOT of unplanned alcohol. :D

10lb!!!! Wow well done you! Makes it all worth while x

WOW!!!! Just had my first mim! I cannot believe how filling they are, I feel stuffed. This brings a whole different dimension to the atkins plan:):):)

hmm I suppose if I am going to commit to this I should be more open to changing the caffiene aspect too! The sainsburies coffee does sound good. I will put it on my list of essential items to puchase today .... Along with flaxmeal and splenda!! Thanks Steve :p

aldi brathurst german sausages. 0.7g per sausage, but they are MASSIVE! I had one yesterday with scrambled egg and sauteed mushrooms .... Was heaven!:)

It's a very good morning for me, Monday morning and after 9am and I still sat in bed Reading!! Just love being on holiday! I haven't taken any notice of the caffiene thing yet and still drink about 5 cups of strong coffee a day, with at least 3 litre of water. I do love my coffee and don't...

hello and welcome! I expected to feel that elated energy boost after two days, cos that what the book sets you up for. It was slightly confused for me cos I did a mixture of Cambridge and atkins for first few weeks, but I was still having rough days till about three weeks in. But I can honestly...

Great to have you back, judging by your weight loss you have done really well and probably just need to refocus on what worked. xxx

Good work Nina ..... good for you!!!

OMG. My mouth is watering at those pics. I want to try every option! Off to get flaxmeal tomorrow .......;)

Thanks guys, you are all so right. The constant support and reassurance realy does make all the difference xxx :p

Its a good feeling aint it?! I have managed three days out with the kids and two meals out on an evening this week!!! I managed to stay in ketosis (been testing) and I am so so pleased with myself. I get weighed on Tuesday and after such a big week I wil be very happy to stay the same, but I am...

Can I just say how helpfull I am finding this forum! Having done the cd diet successfully before and experienced the benefits of ketosis I initially thought I would go back on it 5 weeks ago. However I ended up doing a combination of cd and atkins because I don't like being seen to not eat...

these recipes are amazing!!! It's a goldmine on here. Thanks everyone x

I am sooo pleased you asked that question rachael cos I had also done my research, but still can't help worrying about having cream and butter. It is hard to adjust your mindset after a lifetime of low fat diets!! Ta Hun x

that sounds good!!! Where do you get flax meal?

I was wondering that??!

Hey missy ... Good luck and welcome. I really enjoying the food but feeling a bit guilty cos I had quite a lot of heavy cream. Can anyone advise? I had the creamy cheesy cauli purée, followed by rasberry mousse made with sugar free jelly and cream. Is this ok? Or have I overdone it? Is there a...

Thanks guys, great advice!! Looking forward to it now. Have looked at the menu and made a plan. Going for tandoori kebab and salad. It feels like there is an obstacle every few days at the moment. I now got picnics with the kids mastered, days out with friends are manageable, but meals out can...

Going out for an Indian with everyone from work on Thursday. What can I have on atkins induction? Been doin really well and 12 pound loss over last two week, can feel the ketosis working and starting to feel positive about making this a lasting commitment ...... But I REALLY don't want to come...

I just started today and came here looking for inspiration. I found it!!! Wow everyones doind so well. I feel much more positive than I did this morning. I was really struggling to get past the depression of putting weight on (AGAIN) and letting myself down. Feeling more determined now though...
