Thanks so much. Your all so lovely. I still have a looooonnnggg way to go Lexie but it's what was right for me. Doc was baffled that is stalled me but I chose to come off of it and it's what did it for me. I look forward to being around my superb support network.

I wanna stay. YOU and the rest are a lovely bunch of folks. What made me stop was the weight loss stopped. I was constipated and the weight was going nowhere. So I stopped and since then I am feeling so much better and I am consistantly losing weight each week. Please don't make me go!!

Stopped taking these a couple weeks ago but don't wanna leave you lot. Can I stay or must I go?

Hi all. Over the past 2 years I have messed about at losing weight and have lost 5 stone. I still have 8 to go and am determined this is my year to shine. So here looking for support, help and encouragement and I hope to be the same to all of you. Here we go for the last time. Onwards and...

Well done Lisa. Keep going. Your doing great.

I have 3 snacks and a normal meal. I have 3 snacks of 100 cals each and my evening meal is 600 cals.

I use the asda one. Purely because it has no sugar in it which means less of the carbs turn to sugar. Also good with no sugar as have cut out sugar from my diet for now to detox. Also it works out cheaper for me cause I don't have to buy the milk. In 3 days on the asda one I lost 7lbs. Hope...

No idea whats been said Lexie. But you've always been there to support me and I'm thankful. I'm here for you!! Support ya all the way!! Btw. I am on fb if ya wanna look me up.

Day 4 had gone great so far.

Thanks guys I appreciate the input and support. I'm on MFP as well find me there and friend me please. Strachan51 is my name there too. Well done on your day 2.

Thanks everyone so much. You guys have all really helped with the support, advice and encouragement. I have been having 2 shakes a day, 3 snacks and an evening meal. Seems I have found something that works for me. Hooray!!

Thanks. It was hard the first day adjusting to the shakes but has gotten easier each day. And been much less stressful knowing what I am having for breakfast and lunch and knowing the exact calories etc. Day 4 going well so far. I am just so happy to have lost!!

Thanks. I'm am chuffed to bits. Gonna keep going. You keep at it too.

Thanks. It feels so good after weeks and weeks of nothingness.

Had not been losing weight for a while even with all the exercise and the 30day shred and watching what I was eating like a hawk. So I decided to start asda measure up shakes on Tuesday. So I completed 3 days of shakes as of yesterday. Friday is my weigh in day so I weighed in as usual today...

I missed mine too Lisa when I couldn't do it. But got back to it yesterday and again today. Loving it.

Yay. Welcome. I have just finished day 3 and feeling good. I'm loving it. Your snacks and meal sound fine to me.

Well done you. Your doing fab. Keep up the good work. And yep this site is for sure an addiction.

Wooohoooo. Go chrissy!!

Meant to say have NOW completed day 2. Silly phone. Sorry. Lol.

Homemade chili con Carne and rice. With a salad too. Mmmmm mmmmmm good.

Thanks. Have not completed day 2 and it was easier than day 1. Feeling good and looking forward to going onwards and downwards. Stick at it I'm sure it will get easier.

Lol. You will love it Lexie.

Will have a look at your diary. Thanks for the info.

So far Lisa it's going fab. I am doing asda measure up. Day 2 done and I feel fab.

Go get em Lisa!!

Go for the shred Lexie. Give it a go and a chance and you will learn to love it.

Just read in other thread you ordered it from amazon. Lol. You go girl!!

Hooray Lexie!!! You will love it! Eventually. Lol.

P. S Lexie. I got mine in tesco for £5.

Hooray. Back to it today. Oh shred how I've missed thee. Feel great. Knee did well. Phew!!! Bring on the rest of it!! So happy!! How goes it for the rest of ya? Anyone else decided to do this?

Keep going Lisa. I know the feeling of heart sinking with no loss. Keep doing the exercise your doing too. As trust me you will see a difference in your measurements too.

Have made it through day 1. No problems. The shakes were nice and were filling. Bring on day 2. Anyone else doing measure up?

Day 1 has gone well. Managed the shakes and snacks and stayed in the calorie count. Whoop whoop.

Knee getting better. Gonna get back to the shred in the morning. Hooray. Have really missed it. Hope your ankle is better and you can do the shred tomorrow. It's fab isn't it?? I love it.

Well done you. Fair proud of ya. You go girl!!!

Asda ones are only 200 calories also.

Yep just 200-250ml water. So it saves even more money.

Day 1 going well so far. The shakes aren't to bad made with water. Kinda nice actually. And it saves money not having to buy the milk. Will keep ya posted. Also not been that hungry. Obviously a period of adjustment required but doing good.

Go for it. Keep it going. You'll feel the benefits in a very short space of time. I can't wait to get back to it. Am Gutted to have had to miss 2 days. Like Jillian says "give me 20 minutes of intensity and I'll save you hours in the gym!" oh so true!!

Had my first measure up shake this morning. Was strawberry and was surprisingly filling.

Just keep going Lisa. You can do it. I am the same.

Well done Lisa for completing day 3. I was unable to do it again yesterday. Swelling in knee has gone down but it's a ligament issue. Kicking myself for adding other workout other than the shred. Shred didn't bother my knee at all then that other one messed up my knee. Ggrrr. Hoping to get...

Okey dokey. No problem. Have started asda measure up this morning so we shall see how it goes. Onwards and downwards.

I am starting tomorrow and wanna take this journey with you.

I have gotten the asda measure up shakes today and gonna start them tomorrow. I have a heap of weight to lose. At the mo I am 20st 10lbs. So gonna get this lost shifted. Would be great to keep up with others doing this too. Anyone?

Thanks Purple. I refuse to quit. Just need something to kick me into gear again.

How is this going? I am starting this one tomorrow. What else do you eat? What cals do you allow? I need to lose a ton of weight. 9 st or More.

Thanks for getting back to me. Just wondered if others had come across this and found a difference. I've gotten the asda. We shall see.

Have been comparing the 2 and notice that slimfast contains sugar. And measure up has sweetener. Which is better? Am desperate to lose this weight. As need to shift at least 8st minimum. Also if you don't do the slimfast snacks what do you recommend?

Well didn't do it yesterday so will be doing day 6 today. But I decided to measure myself yesterday as had not seen a loss on the scales. And in the 5 days of doing the shred I have lost 1/2 inch on the hips and 1/4 on the waist. I'm oh so happy!!

Thanks for letting me know about the sale in boots. Also for letting me know it's ok to duplicate threads and questions. Will be trying this out and see how I go. Gotta do something as not seeing a loss on the scale is heart sinking.

Have just had a look through and not seeing the thread. Where may I find it to read more?

Ok thanks. Sorry didn't realise it was covered in an earlier thread. I am newish to posting on here so just wanted to ask.

Hiya. Anyone done this? Am considering slimfast or asda measure up or the likes. Just wanted to know if you guys have done this while on the tablets and how it worked. Am at a stall on my weight loss so was thinking of trying the shakes. All input welcome. Thanks.

Well done on completing day 2. Can't wait to get back to it tomorrow. I love it. Never thought I would say that about exercise and for sure never thought I would say that about a jillian michaels workout DVD. Lol.

Go for it Lisa. You can and will do it. I am gutted. Having to have a day of rest today due to my knee swelling. So upset. Not caused by the 30 day shred. It's from another routine I was doing as well as. Stupid woman that I am. Will stick with 30 day shred and not add to much other stuff...

Sure we can and will all do this together!! Let's go girls!! And we will listen to your pain moaning.

I do feel it a teeny bit easier each day. And yep am thrilled. Already seeing a difference in my measurements and my shape. Keep at it. It's hard work and hard core but it works and is so worth it. The 20 minutes of intensity is worth it instead of hours and hours, which I don't have spare, in...

I felt that way after day 1. But have just completed day 5 and am feeling good!! Day 5 done!! Whoop whoop. I weigh over 20st and am doing this. So shocked never thought I could or would do this DVD. Love it!! Come on girls give it a go!!

I am doing it. I am doing level 1 and have just completed day 4. Getting better each day so that's an encouragement. I agree with you. I don't wanna even think about level 2 or 3. Gonna stick with level 1 till I can fly through it. The size I am I was amazed and thrilled when I completed day...

According to my fitness pal I have had 11g carbs 35g fat 79g protien 760 calories. So if this is correct, then I am way under on everything I think. HELP please.

Thanks. Have been using Jim's stickie and only eat the veg on the list. Just wondering if I am not getting enough fat as from what I understand that is what makes atkins work so well. Do I understand that right?

Just wondering if there is a minimum amount of carbs I am supposed to have? Also a minimum amount of fat? etc. Not sure if I am doing all this right. Just wanting to double check if there are minimum requirements that I am maybe not meeting. I am on induction.

daft question. I am looking at holland and barrett website and seeing linseed in the penny sale. Is this the same thing? Just wanting to make sure I am doing this right. I refuse to mess up now. Am on day 6.

Thanks for the help and info. Will check holland and Barrett.

Thanks Mighty. I truly appreciate your help. Will get me some tomorrow. Will steer clear of the soya bran for now then.

Can we use Soya bran on induction?

Ok, I am on induction. Am I allowed the MiM? Also where can I buy the flaxmeal to make it. If I am allowed it that is. Also does this help with bathroom issues? If not what I can eat or take to help with that. Sorry new to all this and thought I would ask the folks in the know about this...

I am on day 3. Will be good to have you to go on this journey with. Feeling a bit better as the day goes on. It seems to be coming in waves now. Have brushed my teeth numerous times today and yet the taste goes on. LOL If find minmins just fab for helping me keep going, listening to others and...

So is that the only differences between old and new? Just wondering. If so that means I am following the old too. And it seems to be working. Got a free bar in the post earlier this week from Atkins, halfed it with my hubby and felt headachey and not right rest of the day. So had already...

Thanks so much. I truly appreciate your help. Thanks for the already a yummy mummy comment. Means loads. Feeling less panicky today, but have brain fog. Metal mouth and no energy and achey. Assuming this is ketosis also. Thanks for the heads up of no exercise too. Gonna keep going. With your...

Like the sound of the running in fat stores. Plenty of that to get rid of. Lol. Thanks for your help. Also thanks for the notice on the peeing allot. Yep that's now kicked in. Also the info on the oxo or bovril is a great help. How much do folks recommend drinking of this? 2 cups per day...

Caledonia your a star. Thanks so much. Starting to feel like I am losing my mind the plot and anything else maybe even marbles. Lol. Good to have an answer to what it is. So just keep drinking water and hang in there? Any idea how long this lasts?

Hi, I am on day 2 of induction. I have been feeling jittery, panicky and freaking out over silly things. Almost like a mini panic attack. Also felt a bit dizzy and just bleh. Have others experienced this on Atkins? I started cutting down carbs last week but as of yesterday have gone full...

HI I am new to this board. Have been lurking for a while but wanted some insight from you lovely informed folks. I am taking xenical at the moment and have been for a few months. Was excercising regularly, eating right etc and the weight was just not going. I stalled for a couple weeks to. So...
