have completed my second week on Atkins, after taking all the advice on this forum (avoid the Atkins bars, drink plenty of water etc etc) I've managed to lose a further 5lbs this week. I know this weight loss will slow down but within my first two weeks I've lost 13lbs. You can't see it but...

Same here, i was pretty ignorant about it, now I'm so happy I've researched it, tried it and it's working for me. I also feel really good. Can't ask for more than that. :)

I didn't know this either, was thinking about getting some of the bars as a snack. Glad i didn't bother now. Thanks ladies :)

Hi, I'd keep away from Slimfast, way too much sugar in them. You sound similar to me in size and shape, I'm currently just about to start my second week on Atkins, it's been good so far, I lost 8lb in the first week. Key is drink plenty of water. You should take a look at low carb diets, they'd...

Cool, thanks. I know the weight loss will slow down after the 1st week or so, I'm prepared for some weeks it'll only be 2lb or maybe none at all, I'll average it out over the month. I plan on staying in this stage for a month or so, my next step is to work out some proper low carb meals as I'm...

I've been on Atkins for a week, lost 8lbs and have little appetite, have sweet tasting breath smell when I wake up, didn't go dizzy at all though. I've not eaten anything I wasn't supposed to (hope not anyway) but when I 'use' the Ketostix I bought there is very little difference in colour. Do...

Awww, that's a shame, still at least I found out before I started eating them. No way am I using nearly all my daily carb allowance on a bar when I could have bacon and eggs! Thanks for letting me know :)

Hi, I've been viewing this forum for a while (looking for hints and tips) I started Atkins 7 days ago, weighed myself this morning (making sure It was the same time of day as last time) and I've lost 8lbs. I need to lose approx 3 stone so I'm planning on staying in the induction phase for 4...

Cool, so I've got a nice day ahead of me then :) I'm sure I'll be fine, like I said I nearly caved last night but I drank some more water instead. I keep looking at the photo I took on sunday night and using that as my motivation so I know I can do it and carry on. Sounds weird but I feel...

Thanks for the advice. Was tempted last night, didn't break though. Today is day 3 so if I can get through this week it should get better. I'm not hungry, it's like you said just the habit of eating. Also if I did eat now it meant the 1st few days were for nothing. I'm staying strong :)

If you are in the keto stage, am I right in thinking that you won't come out of it if you stay away from carbs? Was wondering if I use the shakes at lunch time, then eat a meal at dinner time? Something with no carbs, like meat, cheese etc etc. Would doing this have a massive effect on...

Same here, I've been drinking about 3 litres a day so far. Pi**ing like a racehorse because of it though! :) If it was flavoured water I think it would be easier but plain water is tough. It's weird because I don't feel hungry, just feel like I should be eating, if that makes sense? Just...

Really? That's good to know, thanks for the reply. Shame really as I used that as a kick start to my daily water intake :)

Good luck from me too. Like has been said before the weight you put back on is a motivational tactic to lose it this time. This is my second day and I'm looking forward to the weight going. I've taken some pics of me in my current state (nearly 17 stone) I've always been a big boy, need to be...

Hiya, i'm on my second day of LT, not going to bad so far, get a bit peckish but then it passes when I drink a gallon of water :) My quesiton is, can I still take Berrocca each morning? not too sure about the rules with vitamins, so if anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful

Hi, I started today too. Already had great support and learned to avoid the soup :) I picked the chocolate & strawberry shakes, had one of each today, think the choc is the better one (for me anyway) Just looking forward to the results Good luck, I'm certain you'll be fine

The blended idea sounds good, I'll do that in the evening, it'll be a little treat for me. I bought the strawberry ones too, didn't like the idea of Vanilla, soup or flapjacks. Yea, let me know what the mint choc is like, I like the sound of it, anything to keep it from being boring. Thanks...

Was only going to have two full ones in the day, but reading other posts i've seen some men 'half' the first drink for breakfast and lunch & then a full one for dinner. So far so good, I like the taste, sort of reminds me of an Aldi milkshake :). Feeling even more positive as one of my...

Well done, my first day today, so i'm feeling positive seeing how well its working for you :)

Many thanks for the tips guys, I was looking at other peoples tickers, it is a really good idea, I'm amazed how successful this has been for everyone. I was a bit cynical at first but now I'm really excited to get started, I didn't buy the flapjacks, just got choc & strawberry shakes! You all...

Hiya, I'm looking forward to it. Enjoyed my last supper today too. I've got it all ready for tomorrow :) 3 litres of water, I usually drink quite a bit so I'm sure that'll be ok. Just don't know how the milkshakes will taste. I avoided chicken soup after reading peoples thoughts on it ;) Thanks...

Hi Everyone, I'm starting this diet tomorrow and have been reading the forum for tips and how to survive the 1st week. I need to lose about 4 stone, I don't really have a timeframe but it would be nice to be 13 stone for my holiday in June :) Any hints or tips any of you can give a newbie...
