Oh Dawny your sister's face will be a picture when you meet up! I'm pretty busy from now until the hold, so probably won't see the family until we go, hopefully they get a bit of shock! its 4 weeks today til I go, so I'm hoping to lose a stone. Only problem is the scales seem to be broken...

I ordered mine from Amazon, just because I've heard some people say the chemists have questioned them as they don't approve of ketosis! I blush at the hint of a telling off, so went for the internet option instead :)

Think mine at are the post office cos they wouldn't fit through the letterbox, can't wait til i get them!! Big congrats xx

I'm going to fuerteventura, can't wait! I can't remember what its like to not be wearing a jumper or cardigan! Week 1 lost 6lbs, unexpected TOTM too, don't know if that'll affect things. Badness happened on thursday night, the parents came to see me and DH, and took us out for tea. I'd all...

First week done - honkity honk honk :)

Thanks Briar Rose :) It really is! and once the hunger pangs go, so easy!! :)

Thats amazing :)

So day 6 and I've still been 100%. Felt awful yesterday, just hungry and wanting to eat. Think it was more to do with actually chewing something then properly being hungry. Yesterday I biked to the train station and back (about 40mins) and I've just got back from the gym. It actually felt...

Jem you're not a failure, you've lost 8 stone!!! Thats amazing! You can't (and shouldn't if you ask me) put you're body through something if you're heads not healthy. You sound like you're in a good place now, and raring to go!! I started at 14 2 last thursday and I was 13 10 this morning -...

Honk and just been to the gym, whoop!

Honk for day 5, but I'm flagging :-s

Hi pink angel I save a bit of my breakfast shake and use it to make a "milky" coffee, then have the bar with that at lunch time, it's not quite a latte and muffin at Starbucks, but I just try and pretend! Xx

Happy new start day! Good luck xx

Just got the fitness calculator app, you can track your weight and measurements and it draws you a little graph :) and mines heading downwards :D

Thanks kaceyboo! Day 4 and another cheeky weigh in, and another 2lbs off! That's 5 in 4 days! So pleased that its working. I know the weight loss won't continue at this speed, so I think I'll keep weighing myself every day until I don't see a change, then downgrade it to every 2 days etc...

thanks for the tips evil weevil, I'm wrapped in my slanket with a bottle of water to hand! I've been quite sleepy the first two days, so have just been giving in to the naps - less time for eating! Hoping to start back at the gym on Monday, bit of jogging and weights I think.

I LOVE the porridge, got 5 trial packs so am going to save the others for days when I need a pick me up :)

Hi everyone, I've decided to keep a diary of how I'm doing on Exante to try and keep me focused and find some like minded people. I've got between 3 and 4st to lose. Got a family holiday at the beginning of June so would like to have lost at least a stone and half by then (fingers crossed) and...

Woo hoo, thank you :-)

Hi everyone, Is the porridge sweet? I was thinking of having it for breakfast tomorrow, but I haven't got any sweetener yet. Thanks :-)

I'm starting tomorrow, so I'll be interested to see any advice from ppl too. at the minute I'm just excited, think that'll wear off quickly :)

Ooooh Baileys... yum yum yum :) B: Smoked salmon and scrambled egg L: Tuna mayo salad D: Lamb chops with cauli mash S: Mini cheese D: Lots of water, some Coke zero E: Going on the exercise bike.... now!!!

Wow a stone that's fantastic! And well done on getting to the final four too :) I've fallen off the wagon, too many xmas parties at the mo, and move house next week, excuses excuses I know!

B: Smoked salmon & scrambled egg (Sunday treat) L: Left over kebab meat and green salad D: Lamb pasanda from recipe pages, cauli rice and garlic MIM W: Lots E: Bit of Christmas shopping A: None

Possibly, I tend to get a bit impatient :S I'll bear that in mind, thanks!

Having lost weight previously (then put it all back on), I often think its those who you are nearest too, or see a lot, who all of a sudden realise you've lost weight, and they're so shocked they don't really know how to act. A couple of my friends at uni said they were worried about me, when I...

Mmmmm cake! Just made the pasanda listed on here - gorgeous!!!! Only prob was that my yoghurt split, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I can relate with so much that has been said in this topic! I'm still trying to understand why I see food as a reward, like Susie said, why sabotage the work you've done, and how is eating things you know are bad for you a reward. I know so many people who have low self esteem, and it does seem...

Hi, I started Atkins on Monday, have stuck to it religiously and lost 5lbs so far. I feel full after meals and have almost stopped snacking completely (just a baby bel at half 3 today - I'm blaming the snow for me needing more energy!!!). There's loads of info in these forums, they're a great...

I like your thinking Jim!! Multitasking too! Another 2lbs off this morning, woop! :D

Hi everyone! So far so good for me :) 3lbs down, so back to my "pre-my-sisters-birthday" weight. I'm in ketosis now, so hopefully I'll continue to lose. Definitely finding that I'm less hungry through the day. Could just do with my OH to stop eating chocolate while sitting next to me!!

Thanks, so far so good I think. Had salad for lunch and stir fry for tea today and yesterday, with different meat for a bit of variety. I've bought some ketone strips, how long shall i wait before I try them?!? I'm a bit excited (lol - bit of a geek!!). Marysu - 20lbs down on Atkins, that's...

When my BMI was about 22 before my Mum and Dad said I looked like I had a lollipop head... I'd like to be a similar weight, but more toned, and hopefully to have my head in proportion with the rest of my body!!!

Thanks, Stephen. Littlemiss, I'm going to do my official first WI tmw, so I'll get a proper idea of what I have to lose, and what damage I've done at my sister's 21st this weekend!! I'm actually really excited, hopefully I can use Atkins to be in control of my eating, instead of binging and...

Thanks Vicky. So far so good, but I've only been up 6 hours!!

Thanks Susie You all seem lovely and friendly, that's what convinced me to post. :)

Hi all, I've been quietly stalking the Atkins forums for the past few weeks, but I'm actually starting today! I've got at least 2 1/2 stone to lose, 3 1/2 would be awesome. Wish me luck!!! (Please :) )
