I'm a Saturday weigher. Lost 6lb Saturday just gone which was end of first week, although a midweek weigh shows me at plus 1lb so far this week :(

Well first week of slimming world done and lost 6lb so pleased with that as a starter as have found the diet really easy so hoping it'll keep going in right direction

And have lost 6lb so pleased with that. Know not gonna lose that much every week but hopefully it'll keep going in the right direction

Just over two years jim so hopefully long enough!

Hi, i'm the same. Got about 7 stone to lose (or more if I go by the guidelines!), and looking at a possible Sept 2014 wedding. Stick at it, it'll be worth it

Morning Jim, yeah still gonna post on here and pop by to see how people are doing. Fingers crossed that the diet works, I don't want to be a fat bride!

Yeah it was fantastic thanks

Hi all, ya miss me lol. sorry for no replies to last few comments but been out the country for two weeks on hols with my girl. Put 5lb on but as was all Inc and needed to unwind I'm not being harsh with myself. By end of fortnight was actually missing atkins so I'm all set up and in right frame...

Put on 5lbs but as was two weeks all Inc and didn't deny myself anything as needed to unwind I'm not kicking myself too hard about it. Been to the shops to get atkins friendly breakfast and lunch for tomorrow then shop tomorrow night for a clean and green hard push for a few weeks

Well a rubbish two pound gain this week, that's all I have to say!!!

If was to be a London meet would have to be wel planned as would need tome from work, hotel etc

Hi, i' m relatively new also so nice to have you here, good luck with the journey

Had a lovely meal out with my girl, baked Brie to start, pork belly and veg, got them to take the veg off and replace with cauli cheese and then cheese board to finish. two bottles of wine between us but with hols on the very near horizon thrown caution to the wind a bit knowing that gonna be...

Welcome and good luck

I'm on extended induction as got quite a lot to lose. Aiming to stay on it until xmas near enough and then move on to phase two

...and kindly took 5.5lbs from me this week making 25lbs in total and dropping me down into the next stone bracket :D

Cat's Hopeful Diary - whoosh! Well the scales were kind today and not only did I lose the one and a bit lbs I put on last week but I did in fact lose a few more, 5.5lbs in total this week making a grand total of 25lbs since start of July and taking me down into another stone bracket :D...

Jump back on the wagon enjoy the journey. Good luck x

Morning all. Well a sneak peek on the scales this morning shows I've lost what I put on last week and a bit more so hoping it's still looking that way on Monday for official wi and that haven't got my hopes up for nothing. Fingers crossed :) x

Add me please for a london/southern meet:D Susie Katie Cat (for midlands/london)

Hi all, yes was good yesterday, boiled eggs for brekkie, cheese for snacks, tuna Mayo salad for lunch, omlette with greens and cauli for dinner and lots of water. Today gonna be fairly similar just variation on salad (not sure what doing yet) and burger with the veg tonight. Have a good day all x

Second that Leanne

Aah cool. Will maybe have to see if anything else comes about (especially if in brum). Get togethers are always good :)

lol you want to come back when the students are back to uni, you may change your mind lol. Its not too bad, we moved up from Hounslow last year and its better than there anyway lol

Believe from earlier posts you were up in sunny Loughborough at the weekend Di? Thats where i'm at :)

So it seems like some of you know each other, has it come about just through this site or did you know each other before. (completely not diet related I know, just nosey lol) :p

Silly silly me, kebab (minus the pitta) last night for tea which was lots of lovely chicken and salad but then had to go an spoil it with some fries! Had a small portion (about the size of a McD's medium) and only ate half as they just weren't doing anything for me. Hoping its not the start of...

We were in egypt in January when all that rioting was going on but luckily we were far enough away for it not to spoil the holiday

Cat's Hopeful Diary - WI Woe Well it has happened, i've finally had a gain, only 1 3/4lbs but I was so close to getting down to the next stone bracket so really annoyed with myself. Only have myself to blame, didn't have much green stuff or water over the weekend (I drink like a fish during...

As expected this week i have had a gain :( and I was so close to getting down to the next stone bracket. Does anybody know if there is a way of entering parts of lbs on here? For 3/4 i've tried entering .75 but it just isn't having it, or do we just have to stick to whole lbs?

Don't hold out much hope for tomorrow, out of ketosis and almost half a stone heavier than last Monday :( and it was all going so well

Ad a shopping trip yesterday, was very close to dropping a trouser size just little extra to go, forgot to try on a shirt, but had gone down two sizes in t-shirt! Smaller sizes here I come :)

We'd been put in the restaurant part of the pub where they would only serve the a la carte menu rather than the bar menu which had salads and more plain meals on. This menu had no salad! Finally managed to get a chicken and bacon with bit of cabbage and green beans (the only veg that was...

Just found out we're going for a pub lunch with work for a colleague's b'day, first trip out for a meal since being on Atkins, hope I can find something not too bad! Aargh!!! lol

Excellent loss, keep up the good work :D

Its great girlygirl, and whats better is that another week has passed and another 2lb has gone so even closer to hitting my first mini goal :D

I've lost 10lb in four weeks on atkins. Might have lost a bit more but the week before I did a detox and lost 11lb in a week. I've got about 10 stone to lose to what they say is my 'ideal' weight for my height but don't want to get down that far, I've lost stone and a half so far and I'm looking...

Forgot to post last week, so two weeks together means 4lb loss for me 28lbs to go (until christmas that is, the fight continues afterwards) Antiefeva. (20lb to lose 6lb to go) Beanboy (42lb to lose by xmas 38lb to go) Beanybaby - 19lb to go Begghead - 6lbs lost - 59lbs to lose (by xmas)...

Nice surprise this morning, after thinking earlier in the week that it would be a gain at wi because of coming out of ketosis because of cough medicine it was actually a 2lb loss. Makes it 10lb on atkins in four weeks and 1 1/2 stone in total in five weeks. Have three weeks to lose 2lb to get...

Well a loss of 2lb this week making it 10lb in four weeks on atkins and 1 1/2 stone in five weeks in total with just 2lb to lose in 3 weeks to get to first mini goal. Getting there slowly but surely

Not looking forward to Monday's wi. Came out of ketosis earlier in the week cos of being ill and needing medicine but nit had any since about wed but still not back in ketosis and scales at mo are saying +2 :(

I'm sure the 2lb and more will come off in no time. I'll be happy if I only have a 2lb gain after my hols. Keep up the good work

Bit late posting as wi was actually Monday but was a -2lb for me, hoping for the same for the next three weeks before hols

Have been having to dose myself up on medicine and cough sweets to try and get rid of this annoyance (which is still lingering) and because that i've come out of ketosis :( hoping can get back in soon so that can reach my mini goal before hols

At what point is it best to change from induction to OWL and how quickly are people losing weight, how much for instance are you losing in a month in whichever phase you're on. Can't wait till somebody other than my girl notices I've lost weight x

Lol that was meant to be goal before hols not hold, I'm way off hold! Lol

Another 2lb gone so that's 8 from atkins in 3 weeks and 19lb in total in four weeks including my pre atkins detox. Four lb in four weeks now to reach my goal of being in next stone bracket down before hols

Well weigh in number 3 of atkins and another 2lb down so that makes 8 lbs in 3 weeks on atkins and a total of 19lb in four weeks because of my detox before hand. Got four weeks to lose 4lb to get down to next stone bracket which is my goal for before hold :)

Marmite jaxy? Really!?

Welcome. Stick at it and reap the rewards

Well done on the weight loss, thats great

You beat me to it girlygirl, was just about to say chocolate mim. All i've craved so far is a plate of hot buttered toast! One question though, cocoa powder and cream cheese? Really?

Craving something really naughty to get over the shock of the cost of car's mot!!:( but instead have had a rocket, cucumber and bacon salad!! Maybe if the weight comes off I can run to work making the car redundant lol

Jaxy, you appear to be having exactly the same as me to eat today ;)

Yeah, was hoping for a few tasty cocktails though lol

You look fantastic in the photos, such a difference. Here's hoping I can go down the same route :)

I'll most definitely be enjoying the holiday :) much deserved and needed for me and especially my Jaxy :D. Still going to be sensible though (well on the food side at least, can't promise about the drink lol). Hoping that as i've found it so easy to stick to so far then it won't be too hard to...

Aah ok, don't think i'd get along with those, like my food too much lol. At least can still eat on atkins :)

Oh dear, hopefully I won't do that! :eek:

Think will definitely do that with avengeance if no scale movement again this week, want to get down to next stone bracket by holidays

What is exante? Well done on the weightloss

Eek! Hoping that I don't undo all the hard work while i'm on holiday. At least with it being buffet style food I can pick and choose what I have, it'll be the cocktails that do me lol. How have other people coped while away?

Thanks Leanne, now I just can't wait till the clothes start getting smaller :)

Great loss, I had 6lb in my first week of atkins but had done a detox the week before and lost 11lb so really pleased. Keep going

Good luck, if I can do it anybody can! I also did WW earlier on the year and lost nothing!

Yep, i'm seeing 666 too lol

Hi friend, i'm not 100% sure myself (there are more people who will be able to advise), but I think its basically doing strict induction, lots of leafy veg and meat. Something to try and give a kick start if the scales aren't moving etc

So when did people start dropping clothes size? I'm hoping that I can drop at least one by xmas :eek:

Jaxy has it on her food so think should be ok

Hopefully it'll go soon Jaxy, think may need to stick to the lemsips and get back to it after its gone. Nurse catty will do all she can to look after you :D

So took my measurements tonight cos was disappointed with my sts on second week. Did biceps, chest, waist, hips and thighs and in two weeks have lost a total of 7 inches so that's lifted the disappointment. Still hoping for some scale movement this week though

Well after being disappointed today at not losing any weight on second week decided to do measurements tonight (biceps, chest, waist, hips and thighs) and lost a total of 7 inches in two weeks so that makes up for the scales not moving

Here's hoping Jim. If get the chance we're gonna measure tonight if get chance to see if there has been a change on the tape rather than the scales

Well week two and stayed the same which is slightly annoying, even a 1lb loss would have been something. Wondering whether its from exercising and if i've toned up instead? Want to try and keep with the exercising though to try and off-set loose skin as much as possible. Big push this week...

Well second weigh in today and as predicted from how the scales have looked through the week i've stayed the same so thats a bit pants! Need a real push now for the next few weeks :sigh:

You can do it on the quitting smoking front Jaxy. And never fear, you have a catty to look after you while you're poorly :)

I've got some weights so try to use those when get the chance, it's my spare tyre (or should that be tyres plural) that I'm worried about

Official weigh in tomorrow but not feeling hopeful, as of this morning I'm still same weight as Monday so a little disappointed. Wanted to get down to next stone bracket before hols but got about five weeks to lose 6lb so not sure how that gonna go:(

Yeah loose skin is the worry I have, not looking forward to that :(

Hi jaynie, I lost six pounds on first week of atkins and 11 the week before on a detox

we get the tesco value diet coke which is good but can also have coke zero, still not great to have loads though-but I am only in second week so somebody may be able to advise better

I have been exercising about three times a week for 30 mins, but I'm one of those people who gets dispondant if don't see the scales moving in right direction. Did weigh at beginning of diet couple weeks ago but don't want to do it again for a few more weeks just before hols (don't even get me...

That is the question. How much exercise are people doing? Just wondering if the muscle weight that may be accruing is counteracting the weight I'm seeing on the scales and why it hasn't moved in the right direction this second week?

Hi Jim, you've done so well, a true inspiration, just hope I can do just as well, seems like a long haul though. Have started a diary, hopefully that'll keep me motivated

So almost at the end of week two and finding it easy to stick to the diet (although apparently i'm not getting enough carbs and sometimes not enough fat), and maybe that is why this week so far I have managed to put 1lb on (although official weigh day isn't until Monday morning so maybe a extra...

I'm not at the stage of giving up but I too after having a good loss last week seemed to have gained a lb so far this week (on day 5 of week 2), just hoping that I get a sudden surge. Keep at it, we'll get there in the end

We all have them, those days where just want comfort, so what do you good people do when you get those days when normally you would have grabbed a slice of cake, the biscuit barrel or shared a pizza and a bottle of wine. What are your comfort foods now? X

So yesterday was my first weigh in and had lost 6lb, during the week my appetite went and had to force myself to eat. This week (and ok I know its only second day) but i'm feeling hungry in between meals even though having snacks and a sneaky peek on the scales this morning showed a gain of 2lb...

I've got a lot to lose but would just be happy with 32lb by xmas JoeyJoJo - (53lbs to lose - 51 to go!) shanny - ( 19 lbs to lose- 16 to go to maintain) Last_Attempt - (Need to lose 33lb to reach goal-5lb gone 28lb to go) Antiefever - +1pm. (20lb to lose 16lb to go) Forthelasttime - (35lbs to...

Thanks fir the messages, just hope I can keep it up

Hi, i've got a lot more to go but would like to lose 32lb by xmas (got a two week holiday between now and then though :sigh:) I weigh on a Monday x

We'll get you back on track Crazy, big push now till hols for first goal x

And I've lost 6lb so pleased with that and added to the detox did week before to kick start me that's 17lb in total :) so with about five weeks to hols hoping can lose another 11lb fingers crossed x

Does everybody get it and how far into the diet does it come? I start day five tomorrow and not had any symptoms

I've been feeling a bit sluggish this week (my first week on atkins) but don't know whether thats due to a couple of 30 minute work-outs and a couple of late nights. Once I've got that early morning feeling out of my system i'm ok until about 3ish when I start to wane. If it is the exercise...

Puffs fish jaxy :) hehehe

Well i've got a daunting road ahead with a lot of weight to lose :cry: On day 3 of my first week. How much were people losing at the start? I'm wondering whether i'm going to lose much this week as did a detox last week and lost 11lb. Still, I guess a loss of anything is in the right direction

We are having a BBQ at the weekend weather permitting. Anybody got any guidance on a low carb homemade coleslaw recipe please x

Welcome and good look. My partner and I have just recently started Atkins, hoping that its gonna help with both of us doing it to spur each other on x

Thanks for the welcome messages people. And yes Jaxy we will get to that mini goal, hopefully !

Well day one of atkins today. Had detox week last week to get me in mindframe fir dieting and lost 11lb. Hell of a long way to go though but first goal is hols in six weeks. Hoping I can lose another 11lb by then x

Just joined the site. Kick started diet last week with week on cabbage soup diet and lost 11lb, started atkins today
