Hi Everyone, Just thought I would say a quick hello. I have been so busy haven't been on. I have been on plan off plan etc..... naughty naughty!! so I am currently at 38lbs lost but still feels like an unacheivable task left to go especially with Christmas coming up at the weekend. Don't get...

Good Luck - I will join you if thats ok - having just gained 2lbs :(

Well done for getting back on :) I had a gain this week - gutted only cheated one day! (yesterday) out for a meal tonight then back to induction tomorrow fingers crossed

I chose it beacuse it worked for me in the past but also - It's a diet I understand where I am not often hungry (un-heard of on any other diet) and if I am hungry loads of things I can eat. Lots of things I can eat and enjoy

Well Done - Feels good doesnt it :)

It's funny you all mentioned that - I had been thinking about that myself. I too have promised myself a full Christmas Dinner with Pudding and have a couple of meals out (which I am going to try and pick as atkin friendly as possible)

Thanks Alpaca - breathing another sigh of relief 4lbs this week :) but I think 4.5 hours of roller skating on Sunday might of helped too

Thanks Alpaca, PurpleBobCat, Kat1e and girlygirl1 I was completely shocked to have done that well - obviously not unhappy tho. PurpleBobCat - I did go back on to induction starting to get to know values for things quite well but only guesstimated so thats why I was soooooo surprised Weigh...

Thanks for the messages :) I am astounded - You were all right - I lost 9lbs so all my holiday gain and an extra pound too woo hoo

Hello and Welcome I was going to say either Bottled or Filtered water and some people find it better out of the fridge?? I love water so only thing I can think of and agree with an earlier post - I to get more thirsty when on this diet Good luck xx

Well as expected I gained on Holiday :cry: but I enjoyed myself. Took me an extra week to get back on track when I got back will power :mad: naughty me!! 8lb Gain in total !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argh Fingers xd weigh in after week back on Tues. Hope everyone is well xx

I spend my life reading damn labels!! but it's a must. I look sometimes at things I liked before and when I read how many carbs its shocking!! What frustrates me is when I look for details online and the same product has different values and then when I went into the shop it had differnet...

I would like to join you all when I get back from my hol - I need to loose as much as possible so be good to have a challange especially when I get back from hol as will certainly have put weight on then.

Just 1lb this week but keep trying to remind myself a loss is a loss! Not too bad either as I did all last week by guestimate no weighing or counting and had 3 Atkins bar over the week too not quite the one a week I was planning.

Just had WI today 7 weeks in. Obviously each to there own but I hate nearly all the veggies Im allowed. Examples of things I eat - hopefully might help?? Breakfast I think is the hardest. Scrambled Egg with a bit of (carefully chosen) Parmesan in Lunch Slice of Ham having read every packet...

I felt the same - I read your post and it could be me!! Like Kat1e said Drink plenty of water. I found that I had to move from Mature Cheddar to Mild and from Smoked Bacon to Unsmoked things like that as cant stomach the strong flavours! Without knowing what you like and dont like its hard...

It was weigh day yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised another 3lbs yay :)

Umbrella :raincloud:

Coconut ones were on offer too but I could only get one as they were sold out!!

Nth (as in to the nth degree) It is a word I checked :0)

Hi - Well done especially not cheating on your Birthday.

I have been really bad at getting on here and keeping up with everyone. Lost 3lbs last week and it's weigh day in the morning - nervous! Hope everyone is well xx

Thanks Kat1e - still not chosen our hol yet but I am going to do my best what ever we end up doing but agree its my holiday so will have a few treats but I know I am likely to put on but I can just make sure I get back to it when I get back.

I have pre cooked sausages from the night before sometimes. Hardboiled egg to be honest I eat so little now as I get full so quickly, but I agree breakfast is hardest

What about muscle building with the exercise?

Well Done Jaynie :)

Hi Everyone, Sorry not been around for at least a week been so busy. Anyway Tuesday was weigh day no 2 and I lost 4lbs making 13 total!! YAY Hope everyone is well xx

We are looking at booking our holiday too and am worried about this. I am now looking for S/C but part of the enjoyment of holiday is the break from cooking etc... so basically looking at AI, BB and HB too will just have to see......

Stay strong hun - you will only beat yourself up if you eat it. You can do it!! and well done for posting instead of eating the choc.

Well done - looking at your progress looks impressive - I hope mine looks like that too.

Thank you everyone :) Now I have to worry about next week after such a good one this time - anyway staying positive and fingers crossed for next Tues Friend - good luck for tomorrow

Thanks :) I am really shocked!! I was thinking maybe 4-5lbs so when it said 9 I was amazed even got on again to make sure LOL

Today was my 1st weigh - I was really nervous but I lost 9lbs wooooooo:bliss:

Hope you feel better soon xx

Hey Jaynie - I am on day 5 week 1 and happy to buddy up i find it helps to keep me motivated.

Well now I am doing it correctly - I went into waitrose today on the hunt for BBQ food. Found Good Little Sausages from the Good Little Company (chipolatta style) 2x Sausage 1.7g carbs - they are delicious! (my opinion anyway) They do a normal size sausage too which was 1.7g per saus...

I am still getting grips with all that. I bought my Peppers in a packet as it has the nutritional breakdown on it which I used to then calculate how many carbs based on weight. I will do the same for tomatoes but on induction so not having any yet. I did look at them breifly in the supermarket...

Well done. Glad your books have arrived. Been out with the dogs so now it lunchtime and I am not hungry most unusual for me but I remember being like this the last time.

Thanks - I got the book out of the library read it last weekend. I just get mixed up - thanks I will look again.

Hi again - one more quick question if you dont mind. What other than meat is allowed on the induction phase? I am getting really confused with what is forbidden on the 2 week induction. Cheers

Not heard it called Atkins Flu before - great description :) I have killer headache tonight - I know it is sugar withdrawal so jst trying to stick it out drinking water and now off to bed. Day 2 water drank, less than 4g carbs - not intentional just what I made up for dinner was very little and...

Thanks guys:thankyou: It is so nice and very refreshing to speak with people who know exactly what I mean. I am realitively fit in my own way just a lot over weight!! I walk dogs everyday as well as roller skating Killer headache tonight but I know it is just Carb/Sugar withdrawal:argh:

Well its day 2 and I made to the gym!! proud of myself but find it embarrassing especially when your the biggest person in there. Oh well I did it anyway.

I am also on day 2 of Atkins and have a long way to go! Trying to stay positive. I am going to the Gym this morning (I hate it) first time in years. Menu sounds ok to me but I too am still fully getting my head round it again as been such a long time since I did it. As someone helped me there...

Damn!! LOL I thought I had cracked it - thanks I will go and have a read

Deleted original msg as I think I have it all wrong - sorry.

Hi Everyone. So today is day 1 and so far so good. I am hoping you wont mind helping me out as I am trying to work out what is and what isnt allowed on the 1st phase. (especially first two weeks):lost: It has been so long since I did it - I keep looking at the book but not finding the bits I...

ergonomic

Thanks for your reply :) On day one today

I joined the forum with great intentions and dont think I made it back more than a few times. I have been up and down with "on and off plan" not sticking to it and getting annoyed with myself. I have every diet known to man but have decided to re-try Atkins as the low carb diet always made me...

I dont know if the other parts are anywhere else, I liked this post so much I googled it and found the other 3 parts which I have yet to read link for that is here if anyone else is interested. Link for all four parts Sorry - Still getting used to this board - I see it has already been done -...

Well done for getting back on - I found this site a couple of evenings ago and it does seem very friendly :0) when I lost weight last time I was on a different forum which has since closed - I found them a great support.

The fan on my Computer gggrrrrrr LOL it is irritating but when I have TV on mostly drowns it out.

Glad its sorted :0)

Hi Sarah, Are you doing well starting just before Christmas. I found this place a couple of nights ago and I am hoping it will help keep me on the straight and narrow when I return to my programme after Christmas. I maybe asking a really stupid question but what is Hex A Hex B?? I did...

Hey Val, Thanks for reply - :0) It took me a little while to find my way back here - still finding my way around. I will be back on my plan from the Homeopath as it is for my health as well as my weight. So basically healthier fresh cooking with no yeast or sugar. I lost 5 stone on it before...

Hi - I wasnt sure where to start - so I thought I would say hello here. Animals are funny - I am a dog person myself - they can do the funniest things! Going to go and spend about 20mins de-icing my car so I can go and pick up my mother from the train station. Have a good day :)

Just joined - a quick hello making plans and getting ready to get rid of the weight again! Hopefully this time it will stay off and we are then hoping to start a family - fingers crossed
