    I always drink 2ltrs a day and my salt intake is fairly low actually. really getting peeved now :( Might have to start calorie counting aswell as carb counting

    disheartened

    After my measly loss I checked for ketosis today and I am not in ketosis. I am barely hitting 20gs carbs a day, finding this all very disheartening at the moment. I am working my bum off making sure everything is weighed and calculated and for what!!? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    Gaining Weight on Atkins

    I have gained whilst being strict but then I have had a huge loss the week after. It took me 6 weeks to gain 7lbs over xmas and jan and I went NUTS!

    feeling low :(

    I'm tired, headachey, I have the worst stomach ache and the thought of meat eggs or cheese makes my stomach lurch. Feeling very fed up tonight and low on energy. Not low enough to give up or do anything silly but low enough to have a moan on here!

    What made you do this? POLL

    Actually, mine was partly also because of my single status. I had a thing with my housemate last year, who also happens to be my best friend and this "thing" is still ongoing, and we kept it quiet because we were sharing a house. I overheard all his mates talking about us and one of them said...

    Jools' Final Leg - The Atkins Way

    I am officially obsessed with scales again! Another lb down today taking me to 13st 8lbs, which I am especially chuffed about considering its TOTM (sorry fellas) so I'm looking at a 6-7lbs loss this week :D in 2lbs time I will be back at my lowest weight that I was at before the horror of xmas...

    What made you do this? POLL

    What was the moment where you clicked and realised you were unhappy and were going to tackle your weight once and for all? Mine was moving out of my student house last year, we were taking pictures that appeared on facebook the next day and I looked horrific. The photo itself is in my photo...

    In Induction! New to this forum, be gentle with me!

    well done on the loss so far, and good luck x
  219. jools1986

    Week 3 - lets get these scales moving!

    I have PCOS also, and I found that I struggled to lose on WW and struggled to stick to it, on atkins I drop impressive numbers and I rarely have cravings :) good luck x

    Apologies for the double entry today but I feel inspired somewhat. I have spent the past 3 months fluctuating up and down through the 13s, I finally feel like I'm going to break through this time. Before I got in the bath I had a good look at myself in the mirror. Yes I am lots smaller but I...

    Atkins Products Survey

    I am having a slow evening, and trying to distract myself from stealing my sisters dinner of pasta and garlic bread...EVIL So..do you use atkins products, why do you use them and what would you recommend? I use the day break bars and the hazelnut advantage bars for breakfast on the run. I keep...

    Cookie douuuughhhhhh!

    I didn't like the choc orange. I am missing peanut butter so I was tempted by any of the peanut butter flavoured ones!
  237. jools1986

    Skin care survey

    Straight, but embracing the 80's tradition of a Malibu :) I use coal tar soap and water with johnsons baby lotion. I use this because my nan has used it all her life and she looks 20yrs younger than she is so thats proof enough for me

    My experience of Atkins

    Yeah struggling to find one of those but I have an abundance of a**holes in my phone book haha I would question their existence if it wasn't for my ex being an absolute doll :)
  239. jools1986

    Atkins bars on offer in boots :)

    I think they were about £1.35 each from £2.05
  240. jools1986

    Cookie douuuughhhhhh!

    I refuse to use avidlite after the amount of trouble I have had and the sheer snottiness of the woman that runs it. I have always wondered what they all taste like I cant afford to try them all. Which ones would you recommend? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the choc hazelnut one

    My experience of Atkins

    excellent question Beth! I may add to the controversy here but I am a fan of the slim male, so I never judge men when they don't find me attractive due to my size. However, I fell for my ex when he was slim and he gained about 4 stone during our relationship, but by then I was in love with him...
  244. jools1986

    My experience of Atkins

    hahaha! Could say the same about horrible men masquerading as half decent ones ;) Of course you are not included in this James...and any other men on this friend (I feel I have sufficiently covered my back here!)

    Jools' Final Leg - The Atkins Way

    I think that 4 months on shakes was plenty! Although I do have 2 weeks worth of cambridge shakes to use so I will be using those at some point as I am in no way lucky enough to waste money! But it's atkins for the long haul :) x

    My experience of Atkins

    As an anthropologist I will back Brian up with an anthropological answer ;) It is in a mans nature (this goes for most male species across the board) to reproduce, to do this they need a healthy female. This is why men are more attracted to slimmer healthier looking women as they will be more...
