Hello All, Hope you are all well. Now, new year, new me! :) So, after a long search online I came across Curves and booked an induction and a first session for tomorrow. Do any of you have any success stories to motivate me?? The threats I saw are not the newest so I thought I would start a...

I honestly dunno what I am doing wrong. I am back to my weight 3 weeks ago and have eaten almost no carbs whatsoever. I live off eggs, cheese, chicken and veg. I am fed up. What am I doing wrong?

Success!! I just sat through a 2 hour meeting with fresh chocolate chroissants at the table without having one!!! Yey!! Now having a tomato, some slices cucumber, 2 boiled eggs and about an ounce cheese. ;)

I had B-Coffee L-scrambled egg with salami and a Day Break bar as desert D-chicken with brussel sprout and broccoli (so far I hated broccoli but i made it taste nice) E-1 hour Pilates and 30 mins Zumba 2 more cups of coffee inbetween

Astrea, I bought the Atkins breakfast bars at Boots. 1 lasts me until lunch and even through the gym. and they only have 2.1gr of net carbs and you can have em in all phases.

Hmm I wonder if I count as a Londoner. I chose to live here so although not born and bred but I guess I am a Londoner, init.

Oh my! Now I dont need to wonder why I havent lost any more of the weight. Damn! excuse the swearing!

OK the melon it was then! Thanks Jim!

Sorry, me again. I just mentally went through the weekend and what I had to eat. I had a bit more yoghurt (natural unsweetened greek style) and i had a slice of water melon. Am I allowed that on induction?

Thank you Leanne. I will keep that in mind!

cause I had lost 5 pounds and today its only 4. But it could also be the Pepsi Max I had. So much to take into account.

Thanks guys, I was a bit frustrated this morning especially as some seem to lose more. ;)

I just dont loose as much as I was hoping for. What else should I cut out? I eat mainly veg, chicken, eggs, little salami and frankfurter sausages and yoghurt. I dont eat pork, lamb or beef as a piece, like steak or so.

Argh, it does! So no more Pepsi for me. Back to water. If I just liked squash, but I cant stand the stuff.

Hi Ransch, willkommen im Forum! ;)

btw I have now swapped from Pounds to Kilos as that is easier for me.

I stalled in weight loss but I had a whole bottle of Pepsi Max. I thought its fine as it has no sugar/no carbs. Was I wrong?

I had some Friday but maybe I shouldnt have.

Good Morning all, I lost another 2 pounds: I had already lost 3 since the last weigh in so I dunno what happened. I stuck to Atkins so I am at a loss a bit. The only thing I added were the Indulgence bars from Atkins but it says on pack allowed in all stages. Any ideas?

Oh I will do that later today but needed something to tie me over. Looooooooooove the Chocolate Decadence bar. So far no side effects! ;)

Hi Lizelard and welcome. I have only been on it for 2 weeks and finally hit ketosis but I have lost 4 pounds already. I guess everyone is different but I am happy with my progress so far.

B - nothing as I was in a rush. I know its wrong! L - chicken breast with brussel sprouts D - Dunno yet E - The Tube in the morning incl. Sauna ;) I finally got to boots to buy some Atkins breakfast bars. Cannot see another egg in the morning for a while tbh. Dinner ideas welcome!

I so hit ketosis today. Feel like ****! Wohoo! Night peeps! Oops excuse the swear word!

Yeah so its rhubarb and cream for dessert tonight! And my ketostix is halfway purple so "Yey me!!!" ;)

I shall go to Boots later on then! :D

i just registered now and we shall see if I get mine. Do I need to click sth extra?

if ppl talk of cream, what cream is that? double cream?

I think I should give some of the stuff a try!

I love exercise! I do Pilates and start Zumba tomorrow and I play ice hockey. I also used to play volleyball but due to work cant find a team that trains when I can. So exercise usually makes me feel better. Plus, I dont want flabby skin.

Hi Rose, You're an angel! Thank you for telling me I can have Rhubarb! I love it!!!! And I am not taking laxatives on a constant basis. So far I just needed them once.

The "clean out" is provided by Dulcolax right now so choc might be the better alternative. At the moment I aint allowed anyway as on induction still. And @Leanne I love my veggies but miss fruit!

Lady thanks for the warning. I just fear that if I dont get my hands on some chocolate its gonna be really hard for me. I shall take the risk and report about it here. :D

Yeah I am not so keen on ketchup so I guess I am lucky there. I use tomato puree for some dishes. Maybe you can play around a bit and use that as a basis, add some salt and pepper and some butter to make into a tomato sauce. If its to sour add a little Splenda. Sounds gross but thats how I used...

Yeah I just browsed a bit and kinda filled my shopping cart. lol They have ZERO carb chocolate !!! Can you believe that? Heaven!

Hello all, what do you think of the lowcarbmegastore.com? Are you using it or would you rather stay away? Thanks!

Hello Kieran, same to you!! :)

Oh I wasnt aware of that. He didnt have any plain flax seed there. Its walnuts I think. I had only 2 MIMs though. :S

Lunch was chicken breast with courgettes and tomatoes. Yum! Still dunno what to have for dinner. Any ideas? BTW I dont eat pork or beef meat. ;)

Oh, thank you for that! I am still getting used to different measures. I am good with grams, kilograms etc etc ;)

I just had my first ever scramble egg with salami and Leicester cheese for breakfast! It was rather delicious. I am still getting used to having that much for breakfast though. No idea yet about Lunch or Dinner.

Hi Neko, yes it does. I have lost it before once after the birth of my daughter and it only took me 14 years to pile it back on again. Stupid me!!! But at least I know its do-able! I now lost 2 pounds in the last week. Not WOW but I am glad! So Teetiefunk: 2/20 Must doit: 0/18 Jools: 0/20...

Yes June sounds good! I hopefully have some results to show by then! :)

Yes I am feeling great! Also bought ketastix to see if I am ding alright with the carbs counting and it shows somewhere in the middle of the scale. I hope thats alright after 1 week. Or should it be the darkest colour and I need to cut even more?

Hello All, I have lost 2 pounds during last week. Had a little slip up on Saturday night at a friends party where I had Doritos which set me back a little. Back on track though!

Ahh thats what it is. I had headaches the past 2 days. Is it going away or will I keep feeling like that?

I had MIM variation for breakfast with 2 slices of ham 3 eggs with yoghurt and chives for lunch and 2 pieces of salmon with about 50 grams Philadelphia and chives for dinner I should have stayed below my allowed 20 grams. What do you reckon? Yoghurt and cream cheese ok? And one cup of...

Me too. ;) I can only afford it cause we are sharing a flat. The rents are insane. Well not as high as in Central but its enough. Peckham turned out nice though in the past few years, no?

Hi Kelly, I bought Flax yesterday from my local health food store. Love that place. But I would say try Holland an Barrett (spelling?). They might have it. Sainsburys has discontinued as my local shop manager told me.

Hi Lady, that would be great! I am on day 3 now. Going on holiday end of June and wanna shed at least 30 pounds till then. ;). I am in Blackheath Std. by the way. :)

teetiefunk thank you! So I am in. 0/30 for me then. :)

Hi all, I would love to join. What do the numbers stand for though? 0/20 ? Is that 20 pounds loss until end date? And why is there a 0? :o

Hello all, another newbie here! I got ground flax seed mixed with nuts today. Not too keen on the MIMs but will try some other recipes. I also have the problem on counting how uch carbs I have actually taken in. And how big is an ounce? People talk a lot of 4 ounces of cheese. I dunno how much...

Hello all, do you mind me joining? At the moment I am on 267 Pounds e. G. 19st 1lb. I wanna get down to 180 and then we will see where it takes me. I cannot believe the results some people have on here so quickly! Dana

Aww Somerset! Lovely! :)

Oh think I found it.

Hello All, I just joined. Love that site. So inspirational! I just saw the slide show of the before and after pics. Thats what I want to achieve! I am doing Low Carb - Atkins diet plus going to the gym. I am on my second day and so far its been going ok. Hope I get the whole carb counting...

I had B: 2 scramble eggs with 2 slices of ham L: a mixture of cheddar, leicester and cornish brie D: I will have chicken breast with spring onions and brussel sprouts Could do with some breakfast ideas. :)

Me too! I get it in Asdas from time to time and I love it with chives mixed in. I used to eat potatoes with it (typical German) :D but egg is fine with it too! My daughter insists on potatoes though.
