Hi everyone! Paigesmom.......did you try the choc mim recipe? Hi honeyz! Well done on your weight loss so far. That's the thing I love about low carb, the fact that you don't feel deprived of food and therefore more sustainable. There are no restrictions on the amount you eat (of the correct...

I used to love cake too with a dollop of fresh cream. I've found a fantastic substitute. I make a chocolate MIM (muffin in a mug in microwave), except I don't use flax like most do as I don't like it, I use almond flour and it is amazing along with a dollop of fresh cream It probably comes to...

Hi 'motherof2' of course we don't mind you joining in. The more of us that can help each other, the better. Where do you get your ketosis sticks from? I have to say, i've never used them, it would probably help me if I did - could keep myself in check then! lol Just to mention fruit, a lot of...

Hi Ladies, Hope you are all doing well :) Donna, that sounds really yummy! I'd love to see a photo, going to try it myself. I'm always looking for new recipes Hi Violet, yes of course you can join us! The more the merrier :) The best thing about going low carb is that you do definitely feel...

Hi Ladies, Thankyou for your replies - It's a great deal quieter on here than it used to be. 'Mom2Ben' well done on getting back on it again. First few days are always the worst, but that's fab if you can feel the benefits already. Saying that, I did too after the first day or so, all my...

Hi everyone, I have promised myself that this will be my final time at attempting to achieve the weight loss I need to and to change a much better way of eating forever because I will do it this time...... I have followed the low-carb lifestyle before and lost about 2.5 stone with ease. Then...

thankyou Athena :) How long have you been following low-carb?

It's been a while since i've been on here. Last time I was frantically trying to lose weight to meet the required criteria for IVF via the NHS. I was allowed one go funded by the nhs.... I got to within 3/4 of a stone of the weight required and sadly didn't get my chance as I had reached the cut...

Well done!!! Woooo that's fantastic! Glad you managed to get home :) Keep up the good work :)

Thankyou! I need to lose another 2 stone to achieve my target BMI to begin my Ivf treatment. I have got very very limited time to lose it so need to be real strict and work my ass off x

Hi everyone! Today is officially Day 1 on the JUDDD plan. I have been following the Primal Plan until a couple of weeks back and have got away with my weight staying more or less the same since coming off it I started Primal in August and have lost a total of 2 stone. All the loss happened over...

I'm going hardcore lol, and staying strictly lo-carb throughout. Iv decided that this is my lifestyle now and no matter what gets in the way, including Xmas, iv just got to adapt It's probably going to be real hard, but I'm determined ;)

Hi there! I'd be happy to bud up with both of you!! I've been low carb now since late August and have dropped just over 2 stone. My loss has hit a plateau right now so I could really do with buddying up, so we can encourage each other :)

hi stubbsey! yes i usually do that too, but i was in such a rush this morning lol. Im just so relieved that things have started moving again :) How are you doing? xx

Woooo hooooo!! My weight has actually started moving again!! It's taken 4.5 tough weeks, but I stuck with it (although i felt like crying), and it's rewarded me!! :) I went off to a meeting this morning and then straight to the gym. I prefer to do my morning gym sessions on a fast (intermittent...

Lol Sammy!! Thanks guys! Well iv had another weigh in this morning and done my measurements (I know, I know, but I can't stop weighing myself until I see my weight start moving again grrrrr) and they are all exactly the same That's officially 4 weeks without a change in weight or...

Just completed a 3.5 mile walk through the countryside, across fields. Chuffed with that :) Just about to have a couple of burgers with cheese :)

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on deciding to ditch the carbs. It will reward you so much with weight loss, feeling 'cleaner' (as mad as that sounds) and just feeling so much better overall. I ditched carbs in August of this year and haven't looked back. Iv lost 2 stone so far and I'm...

Hi guys, I need some inspiration from you lovely people. I have been stuck at 13st 8lb for over 3 weeks now & i'm so so frustrated. Im even more peed off as I have not messed up once since I started this diet in August. I've been so strict. I've even been working real hard at the gym. The scales...

Well, it will be my 5th weekly weigh-in tomorrow, and i've just had a sneak peak and i havent lost a single pound. I thought that might be down to TOTM, but it's day 3 today, so surely any water retention/bloating would have gone by now :( Feeling so fed up this morning - 5 weeks now and not...

Hi everyone! Thankyou for your kind comments I've had no internet connection for a while, but im back up & runing now My total loss last week was just 1lb - bit disappointed with that, but im not going to let it get me down. It's TOTM, so i was kind of expecting it - let's hope it's going to...

Ah thankyou so much everyone. I had a sneaky weigh in this morning and im sts, but I'm not letting it bother me as I know there will be a drop soon - I just can't wait to be able to say 'I'm in the 13s!!!!!' lol Well, I've taken the plunge and joined the gym!!!! Woooo! I'm going for the first...

Yes it's totally normal. The same happened to me more or less, but I stuck with it and the had a 3lb loss overnight. Now I'm going through it again. But definitely stick with it and when you get your loss, you will be so pleased you did ?x

Thanks for your replies guys......you were right, there was no need to worry - I've dropped another 3lbs!!!!!!! yippeeeeeee :) Im so happy because 1 more pound will take me into the 13s!! Somewhere ive not been for a long long time!! x

Thanks for your advice peeps :) it all helps big time!! Bit down in the dumps today because everything seems to have come to a standstill. Im on day 3 of week 3 and seemed to have stopped losing :( Any hints or tips?? x

Hi Alpaca, thankyou.......wow, i've just noticed your total weightloss!! Amazing! Well done :)x

Another pound down today!! That's my 1st half a stone out of the way on Atkins! Having egg mayonnaise salad for lunch followed by chicken breast & veg for tea tonight :) Got sugar free jelly & cream on standby if I fancy it lol x

HI Spirit and thankyou :)xx Hi Sammy, thankyou for that advice......I will be upping my water intake from now on and come to think of it, I hardly have any salt, so that's another valuable piece of advice.....Thankyou!! :)xx

Thankyou so much for your replies. Seems a nice friendly place :) Still doing well. Muscles in back of calves and thighs are aching today (really hurt when walking upstairs)......I remember getting this last time i did atkins but eventually passed, so just gotta keep going as it is still early days

Hi Cheryl! Im a newbie, but im at about the same stage as you......been on atkins a week and lost 6lbs. Would be great if we could 'buddy' up :) x

Hi Sammy Thankyou. I really really hope i can achieve it - as you say,it is the best reason x

Just put it behind you and eat as low carb as you can for the rest of the day. I had plenty of days like this last time i did atkins and it didnt really affect things so try not to be too harsh on yourself. xx

Well here goes for my final chance at losing the weight i need to get off to enable me to have IVF treatment. The clock is ticking and I have until february 2013 to lose a total of 3stone 12lbs.....I have just achieved a 1stone loss, so need to lose another 2st 12lbs! I had lost 8lbs by just...

Thanks for the replies. Safe to say i have stayed well clear since. I have managed to keep going besides feeling guilty for eating the one lol. 10lbs lighter now so it didnt do too much damage lol

Hi there Wonder if anyone could cast a light on this for me?? Easy Chef Chicken Kebabs which you can find in most supermarkets in the halal meat section......the nutrition guide on the box states only 1.5g per 100g in the product.....now this seems way too good to be true! But i've checked...
