I am new to Sw doing it online so getting to grips with it is a challenge. I have non coeliac gluten sensitivity, this can be a curse and a blessing... , I was looking around and don’t see any threads for gluten free. I know I can probably substitute a lot of things but was hoping to find some...

i think i will stick with the king prawn skewer starter from now on rather than the wings then. i know calories are not such an issue but i do like to try to be more accurate with it. I found some sausages that i really like now, they are the Chef and Farmer pork chipolatas which i got in tesco...

i cant help feeling like mfp have the values wrong because there were as many calories in the few wings as i had in my 2 chicken legs and that can not be right. i went for raw chicken wings too... i cant help think that their wings must be a whole portion of breast and wing? not sure but it...

Started feeling like i had a sore throat yesterday but it seems to have gone thankfully! Went out yerterday saw GI Joe and had a steak salad. How come plain chicken wings have so many calories!? There is nothing on them?

Lost the last bit of my sticking weight this morning so i am back at my best weight of 11 stone any losses now are a bonus! But i think u are right. My problem started with two separate weekends first a huge roast the second my son was in hospital and i ended up with a carb fest to stay awake...

hello everyone I have not been on here for a while and believe it or not, it is because i had a bit of a crisis of self. I get that way from time to time, lack self confidence and just have very little worthwhile to say because i feel that actually nobody would want to hear it! then i start...

glad the bacon was a success!! life without bacon would be unthinkable

Yes i feel like my old self is on the way back!

i went out last night and i got very drunk, i embarrassed myself and now i am deaf from all the loud music .... i am never drinking again!! i think i really needed it though it enabled me to have a really good cry and get a lot of crud out of my system tho... oh dear, what a nasty drunken mess i...

i hope the bacon is back to being delicious!

brrrr its chuffin nippy

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you lovelies, its all down to me now not moving on stupid i know

Thank you, sadly been even worse today spent most of the day crying and cooking! Thought i would listev to gruff rock music, but it all just sounded like love songs rubbing salt into the wounds! God!! I feel so pathetic...

I wake up every night too, often more than once i hate it! Even if i get back off i wake up tired due to broken night sigh! Can imagine how you must feel!

It worked for me too! Very nice and lovely colour!!

Not having the best day today very down n upset :(

Yes i had bought it a long time ago only started using it properly recently results have been fairly quick! Saw Die Hard it was good but not as good as good as the previous die hard movies! Can't say it was bad tho

I always salt my food the way my mother did, i never listen to all the food myths and fads just enjoy what i want!

Had a nice evening out with my friend Nikki, it was a ska night the band were brilliant and all the ppl were nice n friendly! Frenchie has done his best to spoil it and to make jealous, worried and upset, but instead i have just send upbeat replies, showing him i am back to my old strong self...

Happy Birthday to me! And 2lbs loss and all the water dumped! What better way to start the day! Got some nice prezzies... Frenchie ignoring me but i just see him for the sad loser he is! Not only the water dumped!!

i think that where the other supermarkets have taken so much salt out of the food due to health pressures, i first found them insipid but obviously over time the taste buds get used to it, i usually add salt to my food anyway, but have to remember to taste anything from morrisons first!

we have a new morrisons just opened. i liked their cooked chicken. i find a lot of their products quite salty!

will be nice for you to be settled, its been a long saga xxx

oh hell, my sons gf has just made a valentines cake, i wont go anywhere near that lol... Django was really good, it was quite long but didnt feel like it which shows that it wasnt slow or boring. Tarantino so had to be good i guess!! the biggest worry i had was whether i would want to go to the...

hi think its all out of my system now, i am not sure if it was a little virus but i had an unshakeable headache last night, gone this morning tho.. i did not eat enough bad things to gain so i think i am also carrying a bit of water somewhere as my loss has gone, still look and feel the same tho...

I hope your getting some quality rest now xx

Well done on the loss woo hoo!

It was nice but went a little bit off plan with cake tut tut! Made up for it today pushing myself at the gym! Got bit of an upset tum too not sure why, i will put it down to cake poisoning lol never eat it again... Yeah right lol

yes thankfully she did say yes, so that will probably be the next party lol second birthday party today, this time it was for 11 year old, home now and relaxing with a nice cup of green tea, was good apart from a small bit of birthday cake to be sociable..

Thank girlies, its a shame i had a party straight after my loss, but apart from sticking to diet drinks, eating only the meaty options and salad the only naughtiness was a handful of peanuts (and i have small hands) and a tea cake which was one of the small ones so shouldnt be too damaging! it...

yeah its a much more romantic notion of being at one with mother nature lol... i lost 4 lbs today.... blimey that is a mega amount for me to lose in one go

I agree wine shocked me over xmas and new year, didnt effect me at all, and hope you enjoyed that cake! Got a birthday party tomorrow so hoping to stick to low carb picky bits... Going to be a challenge, my great niece is 21, so bound to be a nice doo

Lots of nasty bugs still doing the rounds, my eldest has a sore throat at the mo and sniffles ugh i have missed all of the last lot that went around my luck has to run out soon

Enormous hugs!!! I was a little astonished by so many ppl on here saying the painters came a week early! Mine did too, i wonder if its something to do with the pull of that comet?! For some enexplained reason they say our monthlies are tied in with the moon and the tides, so maybe its effected...

Ok thanks i will check them out too need something xx

Here here!

Thank you for the BMI run down i had never considered it before, nice to know imam not too far from it tho!

Well done great loss!

i will have to try that thank you, anything to stop this craziness... i have never been one to suffer with pms (except when i had a mirena coil) which is what makes me think my hormones are upset

i think it was totm actually.... i noticed the last one effected me and they dont usually! i also started this one early for some reason, wondering if it is the start of the change, but knowing my luck i will be stuck with monthlies forever... had a good day today, went to sunny Margate, went...

Thank you i really needed that! I have been so tearful tonight, i hate it. I dont know how much of it is him and how much of it is totm but all i know is its really horrible!

what is the best site to test your bmi.. i dont like to get hung up on numbers and what the latest doctors and scientists think, just want to look n feel good, but guess it will be interesting to see, want one that is easy to use too i am feeling really thick today

i chose to stick to low carb during my fast diet on my non fasting days also because i didnt want to stop doing low carb, and because of the benefits of not having sugar spikes and hunger pangs i found it so much easier sticking to low carb and not feeling the hunger.. good luck lovelies xx

Feeling really blue right now, but found out why TOTM ... ugh going to need rescuing from myself big time tonight. Miss a certain nasty frenchman even more because of the blues.. why have scientists not invented a SAFE pill that takes totm away? need more female scientists!!!!! already felt the...

Yay thanks for that!

Well you all know iv always had the oopsies i think i tweeked it a little which improved the texture by putting in an extra egg, i did this because my eggs were not huge, but noticed they were better! I also do them for slightly less time so they are not so 'dark' tasting. It also helps if first...

Fasting worked great for me too!

Well done on your loss! Wow those cakes look good

i actually got accepted when i lost lots of weight before, i was referred to a plastics guy in Maidstone General, he said he was willing to do it because i had done so well and he felt it should be rewarded, but he added i had to lose another 10lb before he would do it, he said he could push it...

i can only get the pie chart up on my iPad, cant get it on iPhone, so would be interested to see how you get it on there x

no exactly!! and as i said in my last text to him i have no more to say, he has left me alone... today i have felt sad but so so much better without all the negative texts coming in. Basically i do miss him, but not his warped slant on life and his odd attitude to how the whole relationship...

Well done indeed ML its great to be back on track isnt it. I was very lucky xmas n new year with not gaining, but it did mean a good few weeks without any loss while i got back. Now lost 6lbs since and dropped sizes so all good. i got a letter saying that things have changed and they no longer...

Lost another lb this morning! Woo hoo a bit of happiness in my misery.... things took an even worse turn with the Frenchie! I was bombarded with negative texts yesterday... He reminds me of that 10cc song I'm not in love, the fact that he sent so many texts shows he cares so much more than he...

well it is absolutely over apart from getting the odd text like the flappings of a dying fish... lol as predicted he was mortally offended!.. I have lost count how many times we have now said goodbye in texts.. i sent one last and i dont think he really has any need to reply to it! i feel...

No Smiley my sixth sense has never been wrong either, and i have guessed some hum dingers in my time that were way OUT THERE... this guy is used to foreign girlfriends that he can con easily, but i have never been anybodies fool and i won't start now! i tested him earlier i texted him at about...

no steve the gay one is the one i go to bingo with tho we have not been since way before xmas.. he has just had to take his dog Elvis to the vet today and was told he needs to put him down because he has cancer of the spleen so he is having a hard time at the moment poor Steve.. The lying...

welcome back to the straightish and narrowish, you will be back on top form x

very true and he is so full of merde... lol still going on but not sure for how much longer, i am bored with the whole thing.. had a couple of great NSVs yesterday, went out with my old friend Ian, he wanted to get me some training shorts (longs) for my birthday which is not til feb 16th, but...

i only have them during my monthly but i agree i hate them!! nothing worse, pull off the covers and get cold, then on and too hot ugh

i actually slept well last night first time in ages, my new bravado might just be that, bravado, tonight will tell if i sleep or lay awake moping lol... food sounds lovely

yeah i am now at the point where i dont care if i never see him again, it has gone on long enough one week after another he goes dolally on me.. i dont like to be indelicate but he can go **** himself, i put the stars i knew they would lol

gym sesh done, and was a nasty sweaty mess after too!! food wise was a bit hungry had bacon and egg for brekkie, then mixed grill of steak, lamb chops and a pork steak, couldnt eat it all tho, had broccoli and flat mushrooms with it i am stuffed!

wow lost another lb this morning so very happy now to be 11 and a half stone, its coming off albeit slowly i don't care its in the right direction. gym today, need those endorphins to up my mood as well as my calorie burn. a certain frenchman has been putting me on too many downers... wish i had...

yeah he is not a bad lad, but sometimes (quite often) a little thoughtless and typically selfish bloke at times but he is good at heart. had a really lovely italian wine on saturday night from waitrose, it was the best wine i have ever had, cant remember what it was called but it was only just...

it was his 25th birthday, much too old to behave like a teenager! but i think he was going through a tough time and getting drunk and having that blow out seems to have sorted him out. he did come and apologise to me and gave me some cuddles! he really seems much happier, i have read him the...

had a major melt down in the house last night, my son decided to have friends over and drink (never checked it was ok, never does) its his birthday tomorrow so he thought it was fine, he got really drunk and kept his dad awake who had to get up at 4am. so when i broke the party up he kicked off...

bet you cant wait to finally be settled

i ended up with major trauma... not just a cut finger but two broken nails!! i had to cut them all off in the end because the thumb nail was splitting due to condition so i just thought ... start again! i had a better day food wise yesterday, i made my chicken and bacon thing and had an oopsie...

yeah you may be right ML i have always suspected tomato and potato, but sometimes i would have it and be fine, i did read an article about the nightshade group of foods being toxic to us, and that could be because its tomato and peppers, i do eat some of these on atkins but very small amounts...

mmm i have not had celeriac chips for ages, i love my air fryer

hello chapesses, would say chaps and chapesses but i dont think there are any chaps reading my diary lol i had a really bad upset tum yesterday dont know where i got it or what caused it but i did go off plan, and i noticed i got the same problem at xmas n new year, so i am thinking that it is...

ha ha now that is something I WOULD have done, i have done some terrible things to my barnit in its time that some poor professional has had to undo lol

exactly or you need to go shopping and the car parks and small roads are treacherous and the supermarkets are packed with panic buyers sigh lol

i did feel a little cheated, this little part of Kent had none, when everyone else even a few miles up the road was getting snow. then this morning it has arrived and settling, we are a bit behind the rest of the country tho, only have about 1 inch if that so far but its coming down constantly...

i know it sounds a bit odd but i really love the empty feeling i have when i am doing it, i love the clarity i feel when i am really in the zone too, it just has so many benefits its a real buzz

as you know i have been doing the 5 2 for a while and i must admit i find it so easy. the best thing i have found on the fasting days is to cut out my breakfast and eat midday saving a little for later if i have to, plus boullion really helps in the evenings keep the rumbles at bay. i tried...

i was naughty today so have another two weeks of induction ahead sigh... must do better!!!

the blueberry is vile too, i have a huge bottle and i cant imagine it tasting anything other than chemical in anything i cook. wish i had not wasted my money none of the nice flavours were available when i put in my order. the pancakes look so good, will love to try them but i am struggling with...

hello peeps had a bit of a blip last night and this morning but that is because i went out overnight, i have yet to master the art of going out overnight and keeping it clean, not rude but on plan lol, tho i dunno lol i wasnt too bad and i reckon i burned off any calories i had

yeah i think so, i always seem to need something sweet or naughyish after i have had some of it, i dont always give into it, more often i dont, but we all have those days where we are weaker so for that reason i think its best to go without it.

Jack Reacher was very good, it was a little corny in places and a little bit predictable but i really liked it and hope they make more. I am feeling really hungry today so eating a bit too much for my liking! but i guess we all have those days. i think the low carb ketchup is the thing that...

i am beginning to think that wine actually does aid digestion after my christmas new year no gain feastings that and being a bit more active must have helped, i would have previously always avoided wine, but now i think i might be sold on it as a tipple

Its funny how ANY excuse will do to put off the gym isnt it? Lol well, all this excitement ML is due to a certain hot frenchman, phew! Might be saying oh la la a little later this evening... Today i went shopping with my eldest n his gf bought his xmas prezzie he is an expensive boy! One...

well the sleep problem is getting worse, got woken up at 5am this morning and not been able to get back off, so weighed myself and another 2lbs off maybe being sleep deprived is the key to weight loss? jeez i didn't eat much yesterday, only a packet of mr porkys and a fry up for dinner only had...

i was ok, not a bug just lack of zzz and had a really busy day, hardly touched base. had to see my friend Steve last night too so didn't have any time to get on here. Got home wired from diet coke (i was good) and then didn't get off to sleep til at least gone half 3... woke up crack of bleedin...

Yes well done on both the loss and poss career change!

they already sell pills called raspberry ketones

is spam low carb?

i average about 450 i have trouble finding something to snack on in the evenings that wont just make me hungrier when i start, i tend to stick to the boulion which tastes like chinese soup from the takeaway, the one i have i got in sainsbo its vegetable one and only has about 11 calories

well if you want any advice or share any recipe tips etc x

well good luck with it if you are sure xx

well you dont have to fast its not part of atkins at all just something i decided to try! i waited until i found the diet plateau a little for me too. but basically the fasting that i am doing is the 5 2 plan, where for 2 days a week you fast and the other 5 you eat normally (normally for me...

looking good Shelby, it is the easiest and the most enjoyable diet xx

its so frustrating when you bend over backwards at work and all you get is unappreciated!! nice glass of vino xx

it is funny, i see all these posts here and elsewhere about calculating what levels we need i even saw a spreasheet where you can enter all your details and calculate how many carbs calls u need etc... but i know i dont have a very high threshold for carbs because i have stalled before when i...

my that article was interesting!!! i can remember the first time i tried atkins when it got popular over here all the critics poopooed it and villified poor old doctor atkins oh how he must be laughing in his grave

hi Scrummie last week i couldnt fast as oh was off work and we were going out and stuff so last week i gain 1lb i dont think it was a real gain tho just scale fluctuations so i didnt really mind too much, this week i did my fasting and the 1lb and another 2 are gone, so really i think its the...

deffo, back to earth with a bump i am off to tesco now groan!!

isn't it amazing just how much joy a little movement on the scale can actually give you?!

Morning Lady Suzie and morning all... well i would have answered a little differently about an hour ago when i first woke up and was feeling a bit fed up with things... then i weighed myself and 2lbs down woooo hoooo

you know Moonlights i think you may be right because i have often felt that it is potato, tomatoes, peppers that do it to me. i was going to see if i could get a food allergy test at one point when they got really bad, but since i have been back doing atkins i rarely get any outbreaks of it. in...

You sound like you had the same problem as me with ww, i heard they were making more changes soon, my leader was not very good either which didnt help, she never set me any goals even milestone along the way type goals, she was pretty crap really. i ended up overdosing carbs and even got...

hello honey xx

hi, yes i have a diary its on here, i like the tomatoes when they are sweet but i think i am a little allergic to them so dont eat many anyway. i have a couple of food allergies which i cant pin point, but sometimes i get sore mouth and blood blisters when i eat, it never seems to be the same...

Mmmm tesco using the fabulous Richard Marx right here waiting on their ad, i loved him back in the 80s such a gawjus looking man and lovely voice, right now thats made me all nostalgic! fasting today, noodles n chicken, been mega bored,what i need to do is get off my butt n get in the gym and...

Hello Shelby, welcome to atkins! headache n feeling a little grot is normal at the start, marg is a bit of a nono, you should try butter that is allowed. I have always eaten tomatoes but i have seen posts where the advice has been to avoid them, so i tend to have very little tomato. If you...

Well done lovie!

Well done on the loss!

i am not sure if i ever got atkins flu, i know that once when i started i just got underway and bam i was ill, but i just felt like i had a cold, and who knows it probably was a real cold, certainly felt like one, and there are always so many doing the rounds. this time round i have not even...

BHS have a lovely train tin, omg we are all tin freaks... and what is it with men who are anti tins and clutter...?

hello welcome and well done on your excellent choice! it is a great diet, and you have a lovely reason to want to lose the weight. i am having the laser hair removal done too, i find as i am quite fair it doesn't hurt me, the darker your hair the more it hurts which is strange. good luck with...

i had a cesarian too, but to be honest the damage was done with my first son, i am actually quite small frame and when i was pregnant with him i got absolutely huge, when they broke my water they said i had a lot of excess water so that didn't help, the stomach got bad then, i have lost weight...

oh ML i have seen those tins, i nearly bought three tins of bikkies myself, you should have seen my husbands face he hates my tin fetish!

ooops not overly worried about my calories not carbs lol

i am not overly worried about my carbs, i try not to stuff myself and there are some days i eat about 1600 and some days 1200 it just depends on the hunger and what is for dinner. i do 2 days of fasting per week where i eat 500 cal or less but that is a recent thing. I think the best thing with...

thanks for the recipe x

yes i thought so its not just hair they do laser treatments for scarring and they also do botox and thread veins fillers and plumpers for all different parts some i have never heard of lol might be interesting tho

i like to hump this cat killed me lol

went to Bluewater today for my hair zapping session, the neck hair has really reduced now she upped the heat on the laser so hopefully i will be suitably bald in the right places soon, i quite enjoy going now, the girl who does it is lovely and she is moving near me in the new year when she gets...

i love those pics lol

hi and welcome, your food does look fantastic!! that is the best thing about low carb, its just deliciousness!!

Thanks LadyB i often get thought of as young, i once said I'm too old for this sh*t at work and the guy who was sitting next to me called keith said f..off, so i said NO i am! he said no your not in a don't be stupid way, and i said no REALLY i am, so he said come on then how old are you? i told...

If i win the lotto ML i will pay for your surgery! We can go in together!

Well said Lisa!

husband went back to work today and so i decided to fast, just had my noodles which were really low cal as i didn't put any meat in them, i have some chicken breasts for later on, see if doing it that way will stop me being hungry later. had a good chat with my youngest, i miss our chats, his...

way hey thank you for updating will deffo be checking it out xx

hope u feel better soon, i used to go to costco and loved it, can't say it would be worth it now with the cost of the tunnel ugh xx

oh poo never mind, it will be off next wi.. i put on 1 but i don't think i have really, just as oh was home all week we went out a lot and my eating was all over the place, back to normal now tho.

i am with you all there hate crowds and last minute xmas shopping, or firework displays anywhere that there is a lot of people, they just pee me off so much i end up wanting to kill someone! i always think of the sales and how if i was more patient i would get some incredible bargains but i just...

yes i heard they had opened one in london, i love watching it too. i used to see the shop all the time as used to go to Brighton quite a lot, couldn't believe it when they started making the show..

It sure does honey! I now actually weigh less than my friend who had overtook me ages ago! She has been gaining a bit while trying to maintain, i actually thought she was miles ahead of me!

Gave poor old legs another battering today, went to Brighton for the day, Steves last day off and i really wanted to see the choccywoccydoodah window, which is fabulous. Had a look inside but resisted! Bought a few prezzies in body shop and had f&b meal at the marina, had to send my steak back...

You have done so well, and been such a beacon for everyone else! It is crazy that as well as we all know we have done, one little thing can put us right back in that sickening feeling and bad place, for me its catching sight of my chin, i used to think i was like a bull frog, a walking set of...

Loved the santa message! Hope u dont have the work worries! No fun at all at any time but especially at crimbo!

Congratulations on the jeans! Fabulous feeling. I got a lovely pair of leggings from label lab which i could have never fitted into before..

Will be waiting patiently for that recipe!!!

That is a really good idea Susie, sorry to hear u felt bad today, i keep getting dizzy too, sure its probably my age xx

ML i have struggled a few times with ribs, you just want them to melt in the mouth and fall apart but end up tough chewy and in your teeth! I did some research into good rib recipes and most of them recommended double cooking, most of the ones i found boiled them first. Could be worth a try x

Its muscles, funny when i say i have achey thighs everyone assumes i have been having some saucy fun! The looks n inuendo i have had this past few days! Its sad to report i got them from a short leisurely stroll sighhh

I save mine too for days at the seaside! I never did try the sweet n sour, yours looks very nice ladyB might try that! My legs have been in spasm since my walk by the sea, not sure why, it wasnt a particularly long or strenuous walk! Went out with my friend Steve last night had a great time, i...

went to Herne Bay this morning and had a nice walk along the sea front, also had a walk along the sea wall at Graveney, very windy and invigorating! went on the 2p machines at Herne Bay, love those things.. Very nice morning and early afternoon, back home now for steak mmm

thats a good distance i hate the idea of travelling to work x

Mmm corned beef n melted cheese oooo will have to try that soon!

Yes happy that shrinking but wish i had got more wear out of them, they are slightly cropped summer ones so by next summer will be enormous (hopefully) i am not having such a good time finding bras to fit tho, i dont want go pay a fortune for a decent over the shoulder boulder holder when i will...

Thanks for clarifying i was confused! I thought hang on is this a young persons saying i am not familiar with lol i usually learn the lingo from my sons lol Do feel really focussed and on top of it which feels great! On a sad note my favorite jeans are now too big and i didnt get to wear them much!
