Hi waterworks, I am ok with an occasional Atkins bar, at times like this I need a chocolate fix so I have an Atkins bar. I don't doubt they probably are bad for me but it would be worse having a regular bat of chocolate .... And call me Sarah x

T'was scrumptious, I had it with some hard boiled eggs chopped thru then yesterday. Good way of getting some carbs down. X

Hi Ladies... not been on here for a few days, its been a very sad week for my family, I wont go into details but its been hard. I have stayed on programme, not wavered once, I have had multiple zero cokes (the caffeine has not helped my sleeping pattern at all) I have also had multiple atkins...

Stayed the same, first times in 13 weeks, I can handle that...... My carbs have never been over 20, cream and cheese have been so so, so I'm thinking it's been a stressful week, and my body is just not in the mood to give out up..... :-D Sent from my HTC One using MiniMins.com mobile app

If you're not moving then take a senna, I do every now and again..... Does the trick when coconut oil doesn't... ;-)

Tee, what was your recipe and carb count for cheese burger pie?

We had bacon wrapped chicken and cauli mash ..... Mind you, you could do so much with that sauce. Song different flavours etc. I used ready grated emmental cheese, quite low carb and tasty. Anyone tried to make hamburger pie?

I have just had a week's holiday and can safely say I ate within Atkins rules.

Anyway it's your holiday too so you're friend...

Another shot at losing some weight, 6 stones to be exact. Have piled on the weight since I got married. Very happy and content with a husband who loves me no matter what my size. Except I dont......... !! Am fed up with points, syns and checks! Loved doing shakes (cambridge/lipotrim) but there...

Hi there, am heading back to good old calorie counting and exercise!! Have tried them all, WW, SW, Atkins, Lipotrim, Slimfast, Cabbage soup diet, CD.... and am back to square one again!!!:cry: Am fed up of the gimicks and the quick weight loss promises and the cost ... jeez if I counted up how...

Hi, Since my wedding 3 weeks ago I put on 14lbs by carb binging, couldnt stop and was making myself ill, so I started Cambridge diet on Wednesday but had to give up 3 days later and 9lbs down, as think am allergic to one of the ingredients.... I also loved the Atkins so yesterday I swapped...

Hi everyone, well, back again.. Was here in January and lasted 10 days ... lost 13lbs, but had to stop as thought was having a reaction to the shakes....... Contacted LT but they said nothing in the shakes could cause a reaction so, after a summer of trying every other diet going, I am going to...

I swapped lipotrim (2 weeks and 14lbs loss) for atkins, only lost 3 lbs in 6 weeks so switched to dukan and have lost 7lbs in a week!! Definately works for me but I do miss cream in my coffee mmmmm

JoanneM, hi, can I just say that I did lipotrim for 10 days and lost 14lbs, but could not hack the shakes. I switched over to Atkins and lost 3lbs in 6 weeks, was gutted.... read the book inside out but nothing would budge my weight. I have a friend who did the Dukan diet, again I did some...

Quick question for the day ladies, I make up my own sugar free jelly (sachets) can I have the whole sachet (1 pint)? or should I buy the small ready made pots? Is there a limit, as I know I can have it, just how much? Also can I take evening primrose oil? I dont have to take, it but dr...

Hey there, when I found your diary, I could not stop reading and all the other comments from dukandebut, maintainer etc were inspiring. I had no success on Atkins, which I did for about 6 weeks. Your road to slimness has got me motivated, book is half read and finer points noted as I had...

Oh my god, what an inspirational diary. Well done, my book arrived this morning so am going to read and get started.... x

Hi everyone, have been on minimins since 5th January 2011. I first joined when I started Lipotrim, managed to lose 14lbs in 10 days, but couldnt stomach the shakes or related issues that came with them, so I switched to Atkins while still in ketosis and managed to lose a whole 2lbs, (whoopeee)...

Hey guys, try the "fat fast" it's tough but I did it last week as I wasnt shifting the weight and dropped 5lbs in 3 days, now I'm back on induction again :)

Hi Becky, I was exactly the same as you, had been on Atkins since Middle of January and went up 2lb then down 2lb then up then down again..... (always in ketosis) have persevered as, like you, I really enjoy the eating plan. But this week I am doing the fat fast and have dropped 3lbs in 2...

Hey everyone, am sad to say am not losing grrrrrr! I came over from lipotrim where I lost 14lbs in 10 days, switched straight to Atkins whilst I was still in ketosis. Am drinking loads, am well within my 20g carbs, and following all the rules! And am still in ketosis.... I started last...

Good morning everyone, am loving this programme!! Need to become a bit more adventurous with food lol.... Not missing lipotrim either!! Have a day off work today so will sit down and plan some meals..! xx

Hi everyone, just to let you all know I have had to abandon LT. On Saturday I became very ill, prickly itchy skin all over, headache, listlessness, tingling lips, hot flushed face!! I have been feeling like this all week as some of you may know. Initially it was put down to a virus, but now...

Hi everyone, :D was previously on lipotrim for the past 12 days but unfortunately have taken a reaction to the shakes and landed at the out of hours dr.s feeling like crap. I managed to lose 12.5lbs in 10 days and must admit although I liked the strictness of the programme the shakes and...

Thanks guy's, felt so ill yesterday, had to take an antihistamine (doc's orders) and was so worried about coming out of ketosis, but thankfully I havnt, just felt so lifeless and weak, nothing that a mars bar would nt have sorted out, but no I stayed strong.....:o Doc advised lots of fluids and...

Well thats my first wi over (10 days due to shifts), pleased to say I am 12.5lbs down!! :D I will admit the first 5 days were hard, tired and had headaches, I also had prickly skin which according to LT is something called "creeping skin", it apparently happens when you lose a lot of water from...

Hey everyone, yesterday was the first day I felt ok!

Thanks guy's, am determined to see it through. Have a yuk taste in my mouth so perhaps it's working. Has anyone tried the bars? Just tried the soup and shakes so far, the pharmacist said the bars were very dry? Has anyone tried the peppermint tea? What brand is it? Worried I drink something...
