Well my avatar is my 'Little One' - thats her nickname, because she is the smaller one. lol. I dont know how you add photos and stuff?

Today I will not eat chicken breast! Seems like I eat too much of it and its very quickly getting boring....now some lamb chops will be nice tho :p

I dont have PCOS, but I do have heavy periods, sore boobs etc etc. Im also wondering if this will help with the symptoms. As when I was on WW it went hay wire! But the fats we tend to eat are healthier right? Soo maybe that will level our hormones out...I think I read that healthy oils and...

Hi princess, I dont know much about CD. But I've found the Atkins WOE quite easy to follow and despite a few hiccups, I feel quite good about it. Congrats on your weight loss so far!!

I didnt know you could do lower cal? How many cals do you aim for daily?? Are you on extended induction atm? :)

I dont know about the Atkins WOE...but I've heard some people on here saying it does. I'm only on day 6. But I know it did when I was WW. I would have sts or minimal losses during the week before and during my TOM and then a big whoosh when it had passed :-)

Wecome back!! How do you do kettleball exercises? Do you do them at home yourself? :D

9inches!! Well done! I bet you feel great :D

Hi, yeah I track everything and because of this thirst I've been drinking minimum 3L a day and about a litre or more when I've been working out! Im constantly refilling my water bottle! It does sound like dehydration doesnt it. Its funny cos my husband is also following the plan and he's had...

Awwww you HAVE to get a cat!! (sorry have been reading your diary and had to say!) I have two kittens- 1st one I got at 8wks and second I rehomed at 6 wks (she was TINY) all in the space of one week. The first one, Ninja (recognise the name ay?) was a right sweetheart when I first got her, so I...

How long did it take you to train to run 5K?? Or have you always been running? Well done! Its sounds amazing :) Good luck for Sunday!! Sounds like you've cracked it anyway!!

Friday 1/07/2011 Well the day started off pretty good! But after lunch, I started to get shakey and weak and vomitted! :cry: And slept most of the late afternoon away! The rest of the day and into the evening I felt weak and tired and decided not to go out for a power walk with hubby. I did...

Hi, I dont know if its been done before, but I made a creamy mushroom and tarragon sauce on chicken breast wrapped in parma ham last night and it was quite nice. For two people I used : 100ml of double cream : Fitday says 2.5fl oz is 2.1 carbs Butter : basically I just used a tablespoon...

Oh god! I think I've got that to look forward too!! BEIGE ALERTS!! But you are right! Keep at it and you will get there! I had to phone around half a dozen chemist b4 I found one with these in stock..Asda came up trumps! I think I will keep using them, because if you do get a beige, at least...

30/06/2011 Really good day! Got my Ketostix and I'm in ketosis! Sooo thirsty tho!! Breakfast : - Went out early, hunting for ketostix suppliers! Lunch: x2 boiled eggs small salad mayo olive oil Dinner : chicken breast wrapped in parma ham Homemade creamy mushroom and tarragon sauce (yum)...

No I didnt either! Only cut down at first. now I just drink how many I want. And it hasnt hurt me at all. In fact, it may have helped. Because it keeps me active, which means I'm moving buring more off! I've just been drinking Kenco Roast, black but sometimes with soya milk. I quite like that...

Well, I think since I got a purple on the stix, regardless of how deep it is, it just gave me that 'boost'!! Like telling me I'm doing it right! I'm not gonna pay too much attention to the colour, any purple's fine with me as long as its not BEIGE!! lol Thanks :-))

Aww good luck! Is it your first induction? I found it quite hard the few 4 days. Day 5 was sooo much better, and thats when the 1lbs started to come off. And day 6 (today) is even more so! I think what helped me, is make sure you have some sort of potassium supplement. Because, the first few...

I know, I cant stop!! In fact- I did an experiment. I weighed myself before a wee and after...turns out I'm losing like 1lb - 1lb 1/2 half everytime I go to the bathroom!! One way of doing it! lol But a good thing is, after a bathroom break, I'm consistantly maintaining a 2 1/2lb weigh loss...

Well, since yesterday, I've been DEAD thirsty again! So obviously somethings happening lol! It seems no matter HOW much I drink, my thirst wont be quenched and common sense tells me that if you're drinking litres of water then you must be hydrated. And yet my ketostix are still coming up...

30 day shred! I've heard of that! I havent the courage to do it tho lol. I think, the protein rule is approx: 0.8 x your lean body muscle mass in pounds and then thats how many grams of protein you should have a day. (you can weigh yourself on a scale in Boots and it will measure your body...

Hi, Doing cardio stuff absolutely drains me now....so i'm rying to limit that. Couch 2 5K, 3x a week. But, as for weights, honestly since I've been eating more protein, which has actually been longer than my 5 days on Atkins, I've not lost and maintained muscle tone and, infact its increased...

I cut out cheese yesterday! And I'm cutting out bacon and adding too much Lo-salt to things from now on also...I think they make me retain water. But we shall see! Well done on cutting out cheese btw! I do miss mine! lol Good luck :-)

Hi, I've recently just started LC (day 5 induction) but was doing WW too! I was always thinking about food on WW and yes I did lose weight, but it just seemed like hard work. I haven't hardly thought about food on this WOE...weird lol Good luck for Friday :-))

Omg thats inspirational!!! Well done!! :-)

I just checked on the Atkins website... Phase 1 Acceptable Food - Atkins.com There are a few common spices and herbs listed. I think something like curry powder and garam masala will have more 'substantial' carbs, just because they are a mixture of spices. Sausages: I buy chipolatas. I just...

Its not just cholestrol (sp) there are other benefits toAtkins, which as a Newbie, I have found. I haven't lose ANY muscle tone AT ALL while doing this, unlike Weight Watchers. I know I excercise a fair bit. But on any other 'low cal' diet you will always lose muscle tone. I get plenty of...

Ok, I was whining all day over this yesterday lol I was so upset, I was ready to give up... Soo, I decided to bite the bullet, and go get some Ketostix....They werent so easy to get in my town...anyway... When I got home, just now, I weighed myself (:rolleyes: even tho I said I wouldn't) And...

Wednesday 29/06/2011 Bit of a frustrating day yesterday (Wed)...but all's well today!! (thurs) Breakfast : 1 egg scrambled Lunch : Half tin tuna, mug of salad Mayo olive oil Dinner : x2 lamb chops fried 1 cup of cabbage and bacon (1slice) olive oil Gym : 30 mins of alternate walking/jogging...

Lovely! Thankyou :D I'm looking to get some for post work-out so will have a look this weekend!

Well since I upped my coffee I do feel alot better! I did wake up feeling ok today aswell too. So I think I'm over the worst. But I really couldnt say whether I'm in ketosis or not...I've had an energy burst today. But whether thats due to upping my coffee or ketosis, I really couldnt say. I'm...

Thanks! I will admit...I've had 3 coffees today and I'm feeling real good :P And... I think I've lost inches not lbs - which in fact maybe a good thing! At least I'm maintaining muscle and must be losing fat. Which of course is lighter and maybe that's why the scales haven't budged...

I do apologise, this is very long winded but I'm getting a bit flustered by it. And really need some advice. Ok, so the last two days have been bad! My limbs have felt like lead and I've just been fatigued! Although, last night, I felt ALOT better...but, I had a nap, I had my second coffee of...

Congrats!! Fx crossed for your 3lb and total 1st loss in a mth! Sounds great!:party0011:

Tuesday 28/06/2011 Day 3 Felt like poo ALL DAY :( Coulddnt even bring myself to go to the gym...my limbs felt like lead... Breakfast : x2 eggs scambled with a small grating of cheese Coffee - dash of soya milk Snack : x4 Sainsbury's mini satay chicken sticks. Lunch : Chicken breast wrapped...

Well I have to say, I'm feeling a bit better today! Although...I havent lost any weight to be honest...yet!! I think different people suit, different ways of eating. Another thing that might contribute is excercise, the day before I felt ill, I did a massive amount of cardio. Last night, I...

Hi, I was just wondering what brand of protein shakes you are using :)

:D Im pleased with that!

I've just started Atkins (Sunday) and boy am I tired!!! I dont even feel like I can lift my arms atm! Fx It will be better tomorrow! Im not giving up tho, if the C2K is the only excercise I can do atm, then so be it!!

I weighed in yesterday at 148lb. Which means, despite a lb weight gain, overall I lost 2lb :happy036:

I started mine yesterday at the gym :D I've got the Couch 2 5K app on my iphone and yes I did struggle a little bit, although it wasnt the running part, it was the walking! I would run for 1min then walk for 1.30 and everytime I slowed down I felt my legs ache lol. BUT, it defo wasnt as hard...

I had one last night too! Omg, I was like Nom Nom Nom. I ate the fatty bits and everything!! I sure couldnt have done THAT on Weight Watchers thats for sure!!

I've only just started too :-) I like chicken breast wrapped in Parma Ham, also I had a rump steak last night :-) If you google it, I'm sure you could find some no/low carb salad dressing recipes. Like Olive oil and lemon with Salt and pepper. I Believe you can have like 2-3 tablespoons of...

Monday 27/06/2011 I felt absolutley TRASHED today!! Really wiped out!! I went to the gym and I just couldnt do THAT much! And then when I got home, I just went rapidly down hill :-( I was so fatigued I went to sleep for an hr! Which I never do that. It might be the heat aswell, but my limbs...

Thats the key, I think, when you get to know what you can and can't eat and experiment like you said, I think it will become easier :-)

Yeah, I saw that they are quite high, I will only have them if my allowance allows and so far today I'm only on 4.4g so fx :-)

Yes, I think I agree!! I only did it because Monday was my original day, then Wednesday my mother-in-law does hers....and so I would do mine....Then Friday my mate would do hers...so AGAIN I would do mine...this all takes place at the gym btw. Its like a routine now pmsl! But yes, I agree! I'm...

I know!! lol. Im working on it today! Gonna try for 2-3 leafy salads and 1 or two portions of cooked veg! I fancy some peppers today. Im not keen on salad/leafy stuff, but I will train myself! :D

pmsl! I had that last night! He said he was starving so I just said go make some eggs and bacon...and while your at it, make me some!! lol Soo I ended up having that twice yesterday! FX for a better day today!

Hi all, Im just wondering if you could help me with this? I always weigh myself; Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I always do it at practically the same time and always on the same scales. Given that I know our bodies weight fluctuates throughout the day. Now, I weighed myself in this morning...

Sooo we started today!! I have to eat quite alot (or try too) because I work out and need to feed my body :D So here goes! 26/06/2011 Breakfast : - gym ( I never eat b4 I work out as it makes me sluggish) Snack:- (Straight after gym) x2 chicken drumsticks from Sainsburys freshly cooked...

Moving over to the Atkins way of eating....I just think its more suitable for me atm... Good Luck guys :-)

lol yeah, I did read that before, its just when I put everything in Fitday (planning my menus) it came out that some things were pretty high carb (well....in for the 20g we are allowed) BUT, I've got asparagus and green beans too, which are both my fav veg. So I cant ask for more than that can...

Thanks for all your replies and encouragement :-) I'm just working out a daily meal plan, despite eating low carb for the last week, I've actually been eating 40-50g of carbs through nuts and fruit :-/ Sooo, I'm just reading through the book and trying to take all the info on board and also...

Does this happen rather quickly in the beginning? Because I've noticed my clothes are quite loose already and just generally lighter, despite the scales. And I feel great which is the main thing lol. Thankyou for your answers :-) I dont mean to pester you!!

Yeah thats exactly what I figured, leaner and more toned looks better than skinny and bony lol. Your figure, you're describing, is exactly what I would like to achieve. Hence why I was keen to incororate weights in my routine. Weights dont always mean massive muscles!! lol

I know!! I watch that! Even the repeats! They are a true inspiration. I watched one when I was ill and thought, if they can do it so can I! lol. I hope your weeks been great too :D

Thanks for the replies :-) I have just got the book :-P Got tons to read... Just a little question... Ive been doing low carb since Tuesday as I was still umming and arring about it. Ive literally NOT eaten anything processed except poultry, fish and veg and eggs. And I have no appetite what...

Hi all. Ive been reading quite a fair bit about the Atkins/LC WOE for the past couple of weeks and it seems to me to fit in with my goals, on paper at least lol. Basically as well as lose weight, I want to tone up and I work out 5x a week (3 days weights). At the moment, I'm following...

Tell me about it!! Ive been right off! But am fighting fit today! Yay. Actually RAN on the treadmill for a full 5 mins!! NEVER done that b4 in my life lol.

Hi all, I was wondering whether you could answer a question for me? Im following Weight Watchers, but this is just a general question. I had an induction to weights today at my gym, although I have been doing them anyway and my instructor said I was doing everything right but just added a...

Well this week Ive given up the junk and not been able to eat up all my points...although I have had a stomach bug too...I think Hanata is right, in the long run, its probably best to try and limit the junk! I suppose if we were maintaining and not losing it would be ok...Ive not eaten any junk...

Oh dear thats sounds like hard work :-/ I dont know anything about lipotrim diet so sorry I cant help! But im sure once you get going and used to it, things will become easier! Good Luck :-)

Are you on Atkins or Ketonic?? Im not on them but If you are struggling have a protein source like some chicken breast or fish. It fills you up and takes away the hunger pangs :-)

Thats similar to what I'm doing...last yr I went to WW and lost a bunch of weight...stoppped and then put it back on!! So a few weeks ago, my friend roped me into signing up for the gym, we WAS going to go back to WW but because of cost I'd rather go to the gym instead! Besides, if you know how...

Thanks! Im happy with that weight loss. I hadnt been properly shopping last week, so couldnt 'plan' as much. So basically I ended up eating loadsa junk... Im having trouble eating breakfast as I work out in the morning and cant eat before that or it makes me sluggish! But I'm browsing on...

Me and my partner are starting a similar program to this next week (Monday)! So this week I'm getting a head start (lol) by walking for 30 mins everyday at a fast paced. I'd LOVE to run too, but I feel really heavy and have to stop after 20 secs or less!!

Gosh, my post didnt reply to you yesterday?! I said for your first week you've done amazing!! And its seems like you are just eating normally and not on a diet at all lol Well done :-)

Its a 1hr class but I'm assuming if its like my Zumba class, by the time everyone gets ready its more like 50 mins lol I dont really know much about it, is it really high intensity??

I've been going to the gym everyday during weekdays and been doing 30-40 mins cardio and 30-40 weights straight after... I've heard that you're supposed to rest your muscles after a workout, so that they can rebuild. which I havent been doing :-/ So my new plan... Mon: 20 mins cardio, 40-50...
