Hi all! I have been lurking around this forum for a while. First doing slimming world, then weight watchers! I started following Atkins 2 weeks ago (it'll be 2 weeks end of this week!) I have lost 9lbs so far and feel great! I have stuck to it religiously and drank loads of water....until...

My friend buys me a candle every year and I love it! I sort of look forward to the smell of it each year! Then I light it and have a nice soak in the bath (with the bubble bath she also buys me!) I soak all of my xmas stress away lol :-)

Don't beat yourself up! I have been in your situation several times! I would say, don't miss your weigh in as you are estimating your weight loss/gain! You may also meet someone in class that has been in your shoes and they may be able to offer great advice or tips. I would draw a line under it...

That's my biggest problem! Trying to make food interesting! I have started with buying a spice rack full of spices and herbs. I am hoping to use each one at least once ;-) also, going to try some new things from my local greengrocer! (I had never heard of celeriac or purple broccoli, but it made...

Well done, you look fab! makes me feel inspired!

You look like a different person! Well done, so inspiring! :D

What a transformation! You look fantastic! :D

Very inspirational hearing about all of these fantastic weight losses! Also nice to know I'm not the only one with a lot to lose :-)

Hi all :-) I have downloaded an app to my phone and intend to try it later. So fingers crossed!

Glad this has been posted! This will make meals a bit easier lol x

Thanks for the Nandos tip! I love that place, might go tomorrow as a treat now ;-) x

I am going stock up on syn free and low syn food this morning after work. Then if that feeling creeps over me, I can think 'I had 2 bananas, a punnet of strawberries and 2 cans of diet coke' not 'I ate a massive dairy milk all to myself' ;-) I have always had a bad relationship with food for...

That really makes sense ;-) I am glad it's not just me also lol x

I am complete binger! I don't know why I do it. Sometimes I don't even feel hungry. I can eat so much and not even feel ill afterwards! Why do we do it to ourselves?! I have started painting my nails when I get the urge to binge and it takes my mind off of it. Then I have something nice to look...

I use canderel and quite like it. Some do taste vile, you are right there x

I don't think that I am eating enough. I joined last Monday and the woman asked me to keep a food diary. I am looking at it and thinking I don't have set meals, I snack more and have a main meal around midday. I don't ever feel hungry, So fingers crossed that I do ok x

I joined on Monday and paid £9.95 for the fistt meeting and joining.

I might get some of these :-) x

Phew! I joined a group today, and love diet fizzy drinks! Was worried that I may have to give them up die to bloating ;-) x

I have joined a class today and am starting my first week. Hopefully This won't be a problem for me, or I may have to sleep on the sofa lol x

I joined a group today, weigh in was from 9:30 and the meeting finished at 11 although she spent time afterwards going through the plan. I didn't mind the time length, it was so cold in that church hall everyone was shivering :-( maybe next week I will take a blanket lol x

Good luck x

We have a big store like that think it's called 'Medina' might have a nosey this weekend as it's always busy. Also, I felt cheeky asking but work my biceps on the way to the car with the fruit. I will give it 6 months and move onto veg ;-) x

I agree, fruit and vegetables are expensive. Like everyone says buy reduced and frozen. I have a saturday market near me, and I cheekily asked the stall owner if he could do me a 'cheap and cheerful fruit bowl' for around a fiver. He loved the idea and now advertises it! The more I go, the more...

I paint my nails or look online at clothes that I'll buy myself when I hit my next target. Little things like that keep me going. Call a friend or go and visit family helps cheer me up also x

I agree with Frey, I don't have it in the house, then I cant eat it. I have also started to do different things instead of eating when I feel one of those moods coming. For example; I paint my nails. I sometimes look on websites at clothes that I'd love to be able to fit in and that puts me...

I'm almost drooling thinking about that. Will give that a go, it'll be a nice change x

I fancy sweet potato now, lol :)

Looks and sounds yummy :)

I weigh 17st 5.5lb, am 5ft 4in and am a size 20/22. When i went down to 12st i was a 12/14. I am a pear shape, so I'll always be smaller on top. Hope that helps x

I have followed both plans and have found that WW falls into my life better. I am able to eat whatever i want without any restrictions. With SW i found the plan too restricting. I have lost more weight with WW and found that I don't overeat or eat for the sake of it like I tend to do on SW. I...

The cheese puffs are yummy. I agree they taste like wotsits :)

I had WW Ocean pie and mixed vegetables. Was yummy :)

Honky honk honk, lol :)

Sometimes I lose more, other times I don't. I measure myself now and can see great inch loss :)

Hi everyone :) I'm going to try ww at home. I've attended meetings up until last week, but did not like the group environment. I just went to get weighed and then left again. So I'm saving my £20 a month and weighing at home. My boyfriend Tim does ww with me, so fingers crossed that we keep...
