and thats my queue to leave this part of the forum. not much point in having a forum if newbies cant ask questions. buy the book and get on with it, dont ask questions is the general consensus in here. very unwelcoming. sorry if im upsetting anybody, don't mean to but if people don't feel...

thanks.

i get pins and needles in my legs and feet. ( got it doing atkins too) it feels like my legs are buzzing. im hoping its all my fat burning off :eek:

no, i will go and have a look now. thankyou. says my true weight is 10st and i should do 4 days attack, 92 cruise and 132 on consolidation

thanks for answering. no its not just for 4 weeks.i've been slimming since xmas and hit a wall about 3 weeks ago. i've done ww, 1200 cals a day and atkins but they only seem to work for a few weeks and then i stop losing. i perservered with atkins for 3 weeks after my stall but nothing happened...

i ordered this one on thursday but have read up on the internet about attack The Dukan Diet: Amazon.co.uk: Dr Pierre Dukan: Books i understand but its vague on certain things like yoghurt and eggs. they say certain things are ok but them people sometimes find that they stall on certain...

ok here goes I bought total 0% fat greek yoghurt, i planned to put in a couple of teaspoons of splenda and a few drops of vanilla extract in to make it "eatable" and put in my oat bran in. is it ok to eat a big bowl of this if i want to ? can i have 2 cups of coffee a day with skimmed milk...

Hi all. did atkins for 6 weeks but failed to lose weight for that last 3 of those 6. for the last week i have gone back to low calorie so my body gets used to carbs again. i'm starting the dukan diet attack phase today and was wondering how many grams of onions your allowed a day on attack (if...

Hi all. did atkins for 6 weeks but failed to lose weight for the last 3 of those 6. for the last week i have gone back to low calorie so my body gets used to carbs again and put on about 1lb. i'm starting the dukan diet attack phase today and was wondering how many grams of onions your allowed...

you look really fabulous.

do you normally do lots of exercise too ? i lose weight very slowly if i diet and exercise.

you did great. 3 lbs is amazing so stay positive xx

positive,chilled,excited,happy,motivated.

pork scratchings that totally stalled me for a week and a half. another 1lb off overnight and an inch off my hips and boobs since i ditched them

yes it does ( i knew it did) first 3 weeks of atkins i lost no problem even though i was drinking it. i have small amounts of cheese. dont touch cream or mayo. i've binned the scratchings so i'm hoping its them and i begin to lose again

i have a feeling they would stall me. ive had to bin the pork scratchings because i hadn't lost in over a week. if its not them then its the pop ( my only vice is cheap crap sugar/calorie/carb free pop from asda)lol

i actually think they aren't that nice, but hate veg full stop. actually i love onions ! love em raw, grilled fried, roasted.

like parsnips/sweet potatoes. its strange because i like roasted sweet potatoes ( with normal roasties and mash lol) i made them tonight and couldnt stomach finishing them

thanks. i go away in 7 weeks so i'm being very strict. its getting quite hard as i've gone off oopsie rolls and wasn't too struck on celariac chips.

i was so tempted to buy 5 loaves of bread to freeze but im on induction and dont think im allowed :(

'Takes SF sweets out of shopping cart' :whistle:

your doctors scales are just being stoopid.

cheers claire

i just checked on another thread that said 100g was 3.2 grams of carb. its confusing :confused:

Hey. can someone tell me the carbs in celariac per 100g please. oh and do i weight them before or after i've deep fat fried them ? ive just bought a cheap asda smart price deep fat fryer and celariac and want to try those yummy chips everyone keeps going on about. they just might save me...

i have +1 my start weight to even the score abit :D

And they tell me im 2lb heavier than my old mechanical ones. :cry: now i have to +2 my stats don't you just hate it when that happens ?

finished my totm 2 days ago and i didnt lose anything till this morning

im the same weight since sunday :(

she will probably be moaning at you when she's not losing.

i just got into a pair of jeans that didnt fit me 2 weeks ago. feels great doesn't it

hi there. i dont know anything about lipotrim (i'm doing atkins right now) but welcome and good luck !

hi there and welcome to the forum. good luck xx

i'd just like to say congrats. you have done amazingly well

you look amazing jim

if you can pursuade her to ditch the booze and see a GP before starting atkins it might give her something to focus on.

three 70cl bottles or small ones ? that is a crap load of vodka if its the big bottles. i'm suprised she can walk if she's having that much a week

i see from your food diary you left out the cream, sausage and mim. maybe, just maybe the vodka did the trick ;)

im at the end of my second week of induction and for the last 5 days i've lost 1lb per day. ( removed sausages from my diet and noticed a huge improvement on first week)

i know what you mean about extra mature. i'm going to try it with mild

well cats certainly rule the roost round here lol

i know its awful to ditch the foods you like.sausages, mayo, cream all stall me bigtime, have no idea why.

yeah no choice, just got to get on with it and stand tall. as hard as juggling kids, dogs,cats and diets is, we just have to tell ourselves that we can do it ! we are strong and nothing ( especially no little headache or battling teenage sons) is going to stop us going where we want to go. times...

personally i would completely ditch the ,coffee, cream, mayo and cocktail sausages. my opinion is that its's the sausages to blame. but the coffee wont be helping

how did you find them ladies ?

thanks. yeah i guess im just abit worked up this week. loads of things going on at the moment that are just beyond my control. i will cope though, i bloody will ;-)

yes. i grated mine onto non stick baking paper, spread it out and stuck it in the microwave for 4 minutes. (900w) very very crunchy. i used extra mature so very flavoursome.

just made a batch. yummy and very crunchy

headaches, one day totally wiped out then the next have loads of energy. i have lost 3lb so far this week so i guess my body is working hard. i do have lots of stress this last 8 days. home alone with 2 teenagers and a toddler, cats broke his leg last friday. just very hectic atm

into my second week. im drinking and peeing loads lol

Every morning this week ive been getting headaches about 2 hours after i wake up. anyone else get these ?

i haven't found any problems with cheese or diet fizzy pop which i drink by the bucket load. sausages stall me bigtime. and i dont eat after 6.30pm/7pm

i eat loads of scratchings but i stear clear of mims and atkins bars ( and generally anything sweet or high carb) i have quite large losses on atkins ( 3lb/5lb a week) but if i eat anything sweet i dont lose as much and it makes me get hunger pangs.

i discovered these the other day. i made a batch using a hand whisk and it was just runny. went to Argos yesterday and got their value electric whisk for £4.49 and now they are perfect. next stop is a cheap argos deep fat fryer so i can make celariac chips and have it with chicken curry...

thanks ever so much xx

yes i'm it the uk. but i dont get what you mean.sorry i'm very new to this so carbohydrate 1.7g <<< i look at this of which sugars 0.2g << or this

when counting carbs and looking at the nutritional values of the back of a food carton do you look at the total carbs or the "of which sugars" bit ? all this net carbs thing has me confused

that is what i love. i dont feel restricted. im really not a salad, veg, no fat person. i love steak,chips,baked potatoes with loads of marge etc. and on 1200 cals i can easily fit them in. i just weigh and count.

hey big girl ! how many calories are you on, and did you work out how many you need online or have you picked your own amount ? http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm hope this helps and hope its accurate. sometimes we eat too few calories.

hey there Emma. ( i'm also Emma lol ) welcome and good luck with your journey on SW.

thankyou xx

hi ! im going away late august so thats my motivation too. i have also bought clothes that are too small for me for an extra kick up the bum. haven't done the dukan diet,. im on 1200 cals a day. ( 2 1/2 weeks in) so far so good. there are boards for specific diets so you might find some...

hi there and welcome. i tried slimming world a couple of years ago and really enjoyed the food. i could never really get my head around it properly and seemed to be eating the same things every day lol. i did WW for a while too with lots of success. this time im doing calorie counting. its easy...

:D thankyou Irene xx good luck to you too

good luck. you know you will do it !

you can do it ! no booze for 6 weeks. 1200 cals per day. buy all your food for the week and plan your meals. i buy alot of ready meals. not weightwatchers stuff as i find it bland,overpriced and the portions very small. morrisons do a healthy range and today i am having their heathy option...

hey there ! good luck to you xxxx

oops :D i put in 162cm. just saw it wanted inches ! lol corrected it now haha. yes. confidence is a big factor as well as my relationship with food. i eat too much crap and i need to get to a point where 80% of the food i eat per week is within a healthy calorie range of about 1700 and then i...

thanks hun. yeah i have huge bingo wings and i must be carrying about 2 stone of wobbly flab on my belly which is split into 2 massive tyres. my arms, face, chin and stomach seem to carry it all ! like i said im not a very confident person and really paranoid about how i look. thats also...

Hi. just wanted to introduce myself. Im Emma im 31. It feels like i am always on a diet or thinking about my weight and what i eat. i seem to yo yo between 11st and 13st 8lb ( which is my biggest weight) its the weight i feel the most uncomfortable at and its always the point in which i decide...

maybe you arent eating enough if you are also exercising. it sounds crazy but if i exercise while on a low calorie diet i just dont lose weight. i was doing 1200 cals a day and briskly walking/jogging 5 miles a day 4 times a week. for 4 months i lost about 7lb i did 1200 cals a day with no...
