We are off to Turkey on Monday ( Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) and from the safety off my living room I think I am going to enjoy myself and stay with the programme : ) Since I started this programme the thing that tickles me is that I don't miss or crave anything. I am full and...

Hi Vikki, Is there a problem with toatoes? Im on about 40g carbs per day now on atkins so can have tomatoes (the veg variety before anyone comments )

Must have put on weight yesterday............not from eating anything I shouldn't, just from sitting static for most of the day glued to the telly! Fabulous spectacle.

Thanks Rose. I don't use scales but I do use kitostix to check if I am in Kitosis. It occurred to me that I am putting as much faith in the stix as others have in the scales and I could be living in false hope.

Evening Jim. Done it again - got to the jetty as your ship sailed!!!!!!!! Lovely piccie, Sothbfly

I indeed love la vida low carb!

I believe you. Coincidence and all that. Loooooooooooooooove New York - we are going in October!

At least you are not resorting to one word posts! We had a low carb Easter meal for the whole family! I was impressed with us. I have a group of friends who meet up for a zumba class and then have one glass of wine afterwards. I am not an exercise person at all so I have said I would meet them...

Daft question to the knowledgeable folks on here but I get confused. I understand that even though you are in ketosis you might not lose weight but can you be in ketosis and put on weight? Thanks in anticipation: )

Hi Sosh, thought I would pop on to your thread - like what you have done with the place : )

Happy Easter Soshbfly - are you sure your name isn't Kate and are getting married on Friday?

Morning Jim. I gave in, in that I had intended not indulging in alcohol until the weekend but I only had the one and really enjoyed it. I was always a cheap date drink wise but Atkins has made me expensive - steak, the juicier the better!!!! Shared the fish platter in Brown's last night and is...

I gave in today and settled for a lovely glass of crisp tart white wine. It was lovely!

Good morning Clairecat. Bet it was painful!!!!!!!!!!! Is it a forever thing or due you have to top it up?

Jim, we are like ships that pass in the night!! It was a lovely day in Glasgow - so tempted to head over to the Green and have an ice cold beer in the beer garden. Resisted........I am sooooooooooo good!!

So she really does smell good enough to eat!

Evening Jim. All good so far. Lovely day today and another good day on the programme. Hope you have had a good day!

Hi Jools. I didn't weigh myself before starting this WOE (I don't own scales - previous experience proves they would become the focus for me ) I am really concentrating on how I feel....And I feel good. If the scales told me I had only lost a pound since January I would be gutted so I just...

It was well worth the visit - lovely steak n mushroom special.............and a bottle of wine oops!

Yup, Jim - I can now do lots of things.............just don't know what they are yet! I can actually see your photographs under your posts since I hit 50! Looking good!

Browns Restaurants Jamie's on one corner of the old post office building, Brown's on the other.

Ha! Had a peak at what I can do now so still sitting here burning calories!!!!!!!! So much more exciting now!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeehah. Too tired to investigate what I can do now that I couldn't before. Night : )

1 - So, seriously.......... what will I be able to do once I have made 50 Posts!?

2 - Chitty Chatty Blah Blah, now where did I hear that?

3 - OMG, losing the will to live!

4 - Getting so excited, I will be able to answer my own question in 3 posts!!!!!!!!!

5 - Will it make a big difference once I get to 50 posts?

6 - Anyone want to buy my Jacob's Cream Crackers before I put them on Ebay?

7 - tired now, going to bed to read my Collins gem Carb Counter - not!!

8 - From what I have observed so far that would be Jim ; )

9 - I will share the fountain of all knowledge with y'all!

In 10 posts I will be able to click on things and the meaning of life shall be revealed unto moi!

Any advice on stock cubes, can I use oxos or bovril?

Yup, Rosebug. Just sailed through check out 'cos the book must be right! Don't know what made me look at the packet but sooooooooo glad I did!

Please ignore - I am trying to get my post count up 'cos I can't get access to anything I have tried so far!!!!!!!!

Pickled eggs? Don't have to cook 'em just go fishing in the jar and eat on the hoof!

G...U...T...T...E...D.......! According to Collins gem Carb Counter cream crackers are 0.5 carbs per bikkie. Bought them, didn't I - but it obviously isn't Jacobs cream crackers 'cos they are 5.4 carbs each! AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! and Washed dirty stinky...

Oh my!

Good morning ; ) I feel great and very optimistic. I may not be turning sideways and disappearing behind poles yet but there are definitely changes afoot. Going to Brown's in George Square for lunch later and they have a very Atkins friendly menu. Today is gonna be a good day!!!!!!

4 days of induction this week and did 30 day shred every day Quak what does the above mean? Sorry for the duff questions but I really want to get to grips with this WOE

I have the odd Atkins bar and truly enjoy them. I am content to low-carb for the rest of my natural but would miss the occasional treat.

TY Rosebug:p

LC = low carb I would imagine SF, science fiction????( joking) Sorry if I am being dim but I can't get SF, Jim.

Afternoon Jim!

The weight is just falling offf you!

Mustdoit, I really do love your wee avatar, it really makes me smile!

I would like to thank Atkins for... giving me great pleasure and hope that I will indeed get into something pretty on holiday as opposed to what will fit!!!!!!!

I will take my support wherever I can get it. This website is very informative.

Bet it doesn't taste as good as balsa!!!!

Hi, Lab-Rat. Thought I would pop on your thread and say hello! Nice place you have here. Like what you have done with the place!

Hi, Lab-Rat, do you come here often? ; )

TY Woofy.

When I have been trying to find carb values I have been logging on to the Tesco shopping site and clicking the items for their nutritional value. I have found it quite helpful so far. The cup measures I have come across confuse me - I have some really huge cups ; )

Hi Dietkitty. What are frankenfoods?

I really agree with Rosebud's comment Have a think about your goals and how important they are and decide whether you want to do this right now. If you do then get on the wagon and stat there - no excuses - and within a couple of weeks the losses should be paying off enough to keep you going...

Is anything in Holland & Barratt suitable for low carb treat - ocassional!

"orange"

Tried the chocolate orang today, lovely!

Hmmmmmmmmmm! All very interesting! I will be sniffing out Atkies/Low carbers everywhere now!

Just force myself to down as much as I can. It is the only thing I don't enjoy so it is no big deal in the big scheme of things!!!!!!!!

The water consumption is the only thing I struggle with on Atkins - I really don't like the stuff!

Clairecat - Debenham's toiletries dept? I am fed up smelling like hot dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The alternative atkins - death by polyols : )

Hi all! hi to the Weegies!!! It is true though - say low carb and you get a totally different reaction. And true - their problem not mine!!! This is a very busy forum, there were thousands of new posts when I logged on. No excuses for not being able to get advice on here, eh?

I agree roosnanny - it just isn't worth the hassle. People have their opinions based on hearsay usually, I am living the programme but hey - they know better!

Just watching that avatar I can feel the weight falling off me!

I didn't weigh myself before I started but I have come down a dress size and feel sooooooooooo much better. Enjoy the plan and just feel loads healthier.

Thank you! There seems to be plenty of information and support available!

:wave_cry: Hi. Just want to say hi and try and get my post count up to sort out my profile. I am in Glasgow and have been on Atkins since January. Love it but find it best not to say much about my WOE as it seems to incite heat and venom from even the most sedate characters!

I so want to meet up with other Atkins/low carbers for the kind of support offered by WW & SS in Glasgow but maybe I could just wander around Frazers sniffing them out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great posts. Ever hopeful! Hope my journey is successful.

Hi, just joined the site. Did Seraphine and Julz meet up? I wish there was an Atkins group to join locally. I am really enjoyig following the programme but feel it is very isolating. WW & SS groups are available to support folk : (
