Well done for not giving into temptation (not sure I could have braved the pizza shop!)

Highland Pony - that's fantastic news. Very well done!!!

My spare tyre is starting to look less like it's from a monster truck - maybe just from a landrover or something.

I just mentioned this on another thread, but my first few days were peckish. I looked in the Atkins book to see how much protein I should be eating - 18oz for my height. I hadn't even been eating half of this amount. I've upped it now and hunger has left me (and I have started leaving things...

Hello Pookie, Please don't beat yourself up, just keep going, we're all human. Might be worth exploring (in a non-beating up sort of way) whether you might have sligohtly overdone your carbs prior to the food reward (I know when I'm at the higher end, or if I've eaten a lot of my carbs in one...

B: Avocado 11s: Cheese L: Salad leaves, chicken leg and skin, mayo, SF Jelly and Cream D: Cauliflower cheese (omg!!!) S: SF Jelly and cream A: 0 W: not enough as got bad headache E: 2 hours walking

I can't believe how much I've lost already. (I'm kind of glad I didn't make it to the chemist to buy lipotrim!) It's been very easy and the best thing is that I've pretty much stopped worrying about food and feeling out of control. Result. Had a shocking headache today, but that was my own...

Good luck Pookie, I'm on induction too - best of luck. You'll find loads of help and support in here.

B: 0 (big lie-in instead!) L: Salad - avocado, tomato, cheese, onion D: Mackerel, cauli mash and salad leaves E: 90 mins of taking down decorations, moving the furniture back W: tons A: am debating whether to have some (how bad is red wine?)

Waterworks - mine didn't stick - I put the baking tray and oil in the oven for a while to get it hot when I put the chips in. Then I took them out every ten minutes or so for a good shake. Hope you enjoy them...

Welcome Laura and Miss F - I've been doing Atkins for a few days now and it's been plain sailing so far. I hope you find it as easy and pleasant as I have. And everyone in here is so friendly and helpful. Best wishes

Welcome Daisy, and congrats on your amazing weight loss so far!

I've just scoffed my first ever celeriac chips - I'd say 5% celery, 10% parsnip and 85% soggy chip shop chips. Very nice. (And another plus is that celeriac counts towards your 5 a day and spuds don't!)

Brilliant - thanks very much Susie, I'll take a look

I have an ugly old celeriac in the veg drawer, so I might have a new year treat! Here's a nice breakfast recipe that's quick to make. Serves 2 (in theory) Dice: One avocado One medium tomato 4oz Emmental Take one or two slices of red onion and chop finely, sprinkle on top.

B: Avocado, tom, onion, Emmental salad L: Omelette D: Prawns, salad, mayo, cream S: Way too many nuts which pushed me out of my brand new ketosis (sob) W: tons of fizzy (even in bed!) E: 45 mins dog walk A: 0 (in charge of NY fireworks) Thanks Lady F for the explanation (d'oh!)

This is a great thread - I've pinched some meal ideas from it (I need them!) B - Omelette L - Bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo D - Avocado, cheese, SF Jelly and Cream W - tons, I never stop swigging E - 90 minute hike with dog A - what is A???

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I am very impressed by your weightlosses - very encouraging. Lady Felsham, I think you're right on the shopping front. I'm doing the big shop tomorrow, so I'm going to read the stickies and make a list so that I always have something legal to eat. Another...

Hello everyone, I was planning to start lipotrim today but didn't make it to the chemist (excuses), so I decided to do Atkins for a bit. I've not eaten a balanced diet today, but I've not had any cravings and have managed to walk past the kids' selection boxes without scoffing anything...

Slight change of plan! I didn't manage to get to the chemist today, and won't have a chance now until in the new year. So I'm going to do Atkins until I get to stock up on LT. I'll see you back here soon! Thanks for support and good luck everyone.

I was going to wait until New Year, but I've gained so much weight over Christmas, thought I'd best get cracking now before I explode or something! So, Day One, here I am...looking forward to being slim sometime before the year 2012!
