Well done, you look great, you're inspirational.

Hi Everyone, thanks for your kind words. Yes I do feel a lot better now I am back on track, a few more pounds and I will be at my best weight loss since starting.

Hey everyone, yes Jim the spinach is quite nice. I am feeling better since the last time I was here. I have lost 7 pounds in 5 days, so I am pretty much back to my best weight loss before I had that bad episode. I will stay strong now, I won't let 1 bad week ruin 8 good weeks.

Thanks Alpaca, Triage and Jim. Yeah I feel a little better today, I have done well. Breakfast: 2 Boiled eggs Lunch: Some pepperami and cheese Dinner: Chicken, Salad and some Spinach which was recommended by Jim. :D That was my meal plan for today and I stuck to it.

I've just forked out for a new laptop lol, I may get a better phone in a few months time when I have some more money. I did have an I pod touch and that was good for using the internet, sadly that broke as well. No luck for me lol.

Hey Slaj sadly my phone is too archaic to be able to run an app.:D

I've tried slimming world before it didn't work for me, personally I think Atkins is the diet for me, I just need a stronger will power. Everybody's metabolism works differently, some can process carbs easily some can't. I definitely can't so that's why something like the Atkins is best.

Thanks everyone, my laptop broke so I couldn't get on, I suppose that didn't help me. I could come on here and take my mind off the urges and look back over what I had done, sadly first time I couldn't get on when I really needed too. Is it dangerous stepping in and out like this with the...

I dunno what to do, I feel a little lost.

I suffer from bad episodes of depression at times and I just gave up sadly.

Sad to say, I have ruined my diet and put quite a bit back on. I don't really know where to go from here.

Hey Hondapeeps things are ok thanks, weight loss has slowed for some reason, but I am sticking to the diet.

Oh definitely, chuffed to bits. Glad to have Yaya Toure back, he is a brilliant player. It is a tough place to go to Porto, they haven't been beaten at their ground in a long while. So how are you Jim?

Hi Quak I am not sure about that, I don't go into Stockport centre really, I usually go into Manchester. Hi Alpaca, thank's, I hope all is well. :)

The sun never shines here, lol.

Hey Alpaca, it's ok, no worries. :) Hi Jim, not too bad thanks pal and you? This morning I had some chorizo with cheese and then half a cup of blueberries. For lunch I will have tuna and salad with mayo. For dinner I will have a steak and salad.

Thanks pickledonionuk, :).

Thank's Jim, that makes sense now. :D

I don't quite get that Jim, I am 108lbs over weight so if I drank half a pint for each pound I would probably consume a swimming pools worth of water every day. :D I have started to drink around 2 1/2 litres, I don't know if that is too much?

That's very helpful thank you triage, can I ask what the recommended water intake is for the atkins diet?

Thanks for your kind words triage. :) x

Lost nothing this week, that's 2lb lost in 3 weeks. A little disappointing, maybe I have been eating too much, or not enough exercise. I struggle to do excessive exercise though to be honest because of suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.

Cheers for that Jim, you're a goodun.

Thank's for the advice Jim, not got round to getting it yet. I will probably put it in water, does it taste of anything?

As you have already said yourself, tomorrow is another day. Put the past behind you and keep on going, you can do it.:)

Ok thanks everybody lol.

Then you are definitely doing the atkins right. :D You are doing very well, keep up the good work. :)

Ok thanks Jim, I will give them a go.:)

I want Gerard to win, I know he is a whining git, but I feel sorry for him. Clearly he is eating right and doing some exercise otherwise he wouldn't lose that weight. Changing your eating habits is great in its own right.

I have been eating blueberries and raspberries during induction, seems like I shouldn't have. DOH!!

Excessive exercise in the first week might be tough due to going into ketosis and you may feel lethargic/headaches and stuff. However after that you will be fine.

What kind of wraps are you using? I am not sure you should be eating them on induction, maybe later on in your atkins journey. . Also the atkins bar I am not sure on, some of them are only aloud later on after induction.Other than that though everything looks good

I may give that a go then. :)

That is great, keep up the good work. :)

Sorry to get so personal, but I have been going to the toilet a lot less than usual since starting the atkins. Is there anything I could do to help things along? lol

That's not possible though. :D I don't see how measurements can mean anything? You lose weight and of course your measurements will be lower, but I don't see how measurements can change if you don't lose much. :confused:

Good luck to you too Ryster. :)

Thanks Erin . :) The weights are going ok, I try to do more running though. I will probably do more with the weights once I get closer to my goal weight. Yeah I now have 7 1/2 stone to lose so I hope I can lose that in the time I want to. Thank's LinzLinz and C.Mackenzie, I haven't done...

Thanks pigletville.:)

I still have a few shed loads to lose lol. I feel maybe I should have lost more, what with me being really big I thought maybe I could have done 2 stone.

Lost 2lbs this week, a little gutted after stalling last week I thought maybe I would have had a bigger loss. I can't grumble at losing 1 stone 7lbs in 5 weeks though.

Thanks Susie. :)

Morning Alpaca, yeah it is a right pain walking in the snow, especially when you slip over lol. I have lost 2lbs this week, I am a little disappointed after stalling last week I thought I might get a bigger loss. However I can't complain at losing 1 stone 7lbs in 5 weeks.

I lost 2lbs this week. I have also now lost 1 stone 7lbs in 5 weeks.

I was walking through Manchester January last year and slipped feet flailing in the air. I could hear laughs echoing from down the street. lol :D

Aston Villa fans, I bet they wish they still had Marin O'Neil at the helm. He is doing well for Sunderland. Argh I hate snow, especially when it all melts and creates icy pathways. I have poor balance so I am sliding all over the place, Christopher Dean I am not.

Morning Jim, not a lot really. Yeah we always get stuffed at Goodison. :cry:

Hello Jim glad to hear life is good. :D Heyyyyy Hondapeeps. :D

Hey Katie. :)

Thank's LinzLinz.:)

I haven't given up :) I think it is a natural reaction to feel disappointed when you work hard and don't lose anything. However I am not the first person to go through this, hopefully I can get a nice loss this coming Sunday.

Not too bad thanks Jim, how are you doing? Thank's Downtown. :)

Trees are great. :D

If you right click the star, the option to open in a new tab should come up and it will take you to the website. It's bb code I think.

Lots of branches lying about?, I use to do landscape gardening/normal gardening, terrible trying to clean up branches and leaves.

LOL, I am not too bad thanks pal and yourself?

Morning Jim, what do you mean red wrapper? The red part is the best bit. :D

I may try the babybel burger as well. :D

I will have to try them, :D.

I'm not certain what it could be. Maybe store bought burgers instead of making my own. I had some mini pepperami's quite a few days this week, maybe them. I have no idea.

No loss this week :cry:, very annoying and makes me question the point of it all. However I won't give up.

Not lost anything this week, a little gutted but I will keep going.

Not lost anything in my fourth week. :( Ah well, I will keep going.

Well done, I have to look away if someone is having food I like.

No it is not bad, I have crap food left from Christmas I have smelled lol.

Thanks hondapeeps :D. x

Coming to the end of my fourth week, feeling, prettyyyyy,prettyy, pretty good. I pray for a reasonable loss tomorrow, :innocent0001:

Coming to the end of my fourth week and feeling really good, I hope for a reasonable loss tomorrow. :sign0009:

Amazing loss, well done. :)

Hey Katie, thanks, you have a good one too. :)

Lol.

Hey Linz Linz, thanks for your kind words. I have never felt this motivated before so I am surprised at how easy I am finding it. However I am only on my fourth week, still a long way to go and I expect some tough days to come.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too bad thanks Jim and yourself?

Thanks Hondapeeps, you keep the good work too.:D

I did it once before, last summer but I wasn't strong enough to keep at it. However this time is going a lot better.

:D, it is definitely worth the smelly pee.

Yes, it means you are in ketosis.

Thanks Quak, :). It was hard not caving, being ill usually makes me give up but I got through it in the end. Lol, thanks pigletville. :D

Thanks worried chick. :)

Lol, send as many raspberries as you want this way:D.

Morning Jim, I have been trying to keep to just meat and salad. I have been having fruit as well though, but only blueberries or raspberries. They don't seem to have stalled me, yet lol.

Still going strong, no signs of me stopping. I hope I can lose another 4lb this week, then I would be completely happy with my total loss for the first month. :character00116:

I'm only three weeks in, I still have plenty of time to stall. :D Although I hope I can lose something every week, even if it's a 1lb.

Hi Alpaca and Jim, thanks for your kind words and Jim, if I can achieve anywhere near what you have lost I will be one happy bunny.:D

Thanks Katie. :)

Ok susie, :D lol, my name is Lee.

Thanks ladyfelsham, I hope I can keep it up.

Lost another 4 lbs this week so I am really chuffed. I think this diet is definitely for me, 1stone 5lbs in 3 weeks is amazing.

City were all over Spurs Jim, we gave them a way back into the game, otherwise it could of been more. We got what we deserved, :D. Lost another 4lbs this week, pretty chuffed with that.

I lost 4lbs this week. :)

Not had the chance to weigh myself today, I will do it tomorrow now and report back. :)

Hey katie, thanks.:)

Thanks Ladyfelsham and Alpaca.:)

Feeling a lot better today, whatever it was I don't think it was the Atkins Flu. Got some much needed fresh air going to watch the footie today and best of all City won, woo.

Can you start to feel it after being on the atkins already for 2 weeks?

Feeling a little better thanks. :) What is Atkins flu?

Thanks shellsmithcat. :)

Hey Jim and Alpaca. Hope you are doing well. I've been feeling ill past few days, I usually seek out comfort food when I am like this but I have managed to ignore the urge. I am losing my appetite a bit now anyway, lol.

Thanks for your kind words worried chick :) x, I have managed to stay strong. I'm still feeling rough, I have also lost my appetite so I don't want to cheat lol.

Feeling a little rough today, eurgh!! I hate feeling like this, makes me want to cheat.:sick:

Hi mrsminkymoo, good luck on your weight loss journey. :) x

Hey, Thanks Alpaca. :)

Hi Jim, I am not doing too bad thanks pal. How are you doing? I'm still going strong despite feeling stressed through university assignments. I usually crack and give in to the stress and end up eating crap, however I am resisting it.

Thanks triage999. :)

Another day down, still going strong. I feel having somewhere to write down my thoughts is great, this site is definitely responsible for my momentum. At this moment I don't see me stopping, but I shouldn't jinx myself. :D

Well done. :)

Hi Jim, thank you. I have never had so much motivation before, so to lose what I have already has only added to that motivation. I had 2 burgers and some cheese as well as salad for dinner. Followed by some raspberries, delicious.

Well I got through a weekend of stressing, trying to get uni work done. I usually cheat when I am under so much stress, but nope I beat it. I got my work done I now feel relaxed and don't want to cheat. However I have some more uni work to start in the next day or two so I imagine the stress...

Thanks worried chick. :) x

Thanks Katie. :)

It was gone before I had the chance. :D

Thanks ladyfelsham, :D yup I am really happy because I wasn't quite sure what to expect, I thought around 3lb. So I am really chuffed. I hope for around 3-4lb next week, think the weight loss might slow a little so 3lb is probably to be expected for next week.

Thank you. :)

It is a brilliant film, Christian Bale at his best.

Thanks LinzLinz. :)

I have lost 5lb this week. :)

Well, I have lost 5lb this week and I am really happy with that. :D

Well I have just had my weekly weigh in and I am pleased to say I have lost 5lbs.:)

The dress is really nice. :D

Hi slimsarah, thanks for your kind words. Yes there really are some great success stories on here, I have been reading them and they have kept me going strong. I'm glad to see that you are really determined, and that you also benefit from reading the success stories. Good luck on your weight...

Thankies worried chick :), I have tried it before and failed but mainly because I didn't try hard enough. This time though I feel a lot stronger, I have more motivation

That is one cute dog. :D

Thanks Alpaca.:)

Welcome Kate and good luck. :)

Good luck mustdoit, :).

Hi kimlyn, good luck, you sound determined. :)

Thanks Mto3girls, :). I feel I have done really well this week, I know it won't be as big as the first week loss of 10lb but I am hoping for 3-4lb.

That is an amazing loss, well done. :)

Thanks LinzLinz, :D.

Thanks pigletville, :).

Good luck MiniMoosh, you seem very determined which will really help in trying to lose weight. :)

Anaphora.

Yeah, KFC is delicious, I waved goodbye to that now though.:wave_cry:

Cooked a steak for tea and had some cheese as well as salad. :greenapple:

Thanks ladyfelsham. Not far off the two week mark now and eager to weigh myself, I know it will be nowhere near the first week. However I am hoping for around 3-4 pound. Had blueberries for breakfast and then turkey and salad for dinner. Not sure what to have for tea, maybe a steak with...

Blueberries for breakfast, delicious. Then I had turkey and salad for dinner, again delicious. Not craving as much today, which is good :D. I am nearly at the 2 week mark and feeling stronger, hope I can keep this going. :character00115: Just bought some dumbell's so I can pump iron.

Thanks Katie.:)

Pizza is my biggest crux of my weight problem. I just love it, lol but I also love foods like chicken, cheese, blueberries. The last three I get to eat on my diet so I am lucky :D. However pizza will forever haunt me lol.

Hi, :) and good luck on your weight loss journey. It is hard but if you believe in yourself, then you can do it. :)

Thanks shellsmithcat and triage999. :)

You have done amazingly well, I see a lot of the success stories on here and they are really inspiring for me, yours has just been added to the list. Well done for losing the weight. :)

It's ok no worries, I know it's hard at times trying to lose weight. Sorry if I offended you in anyway.

I started a diary on the general part of the forum, but I thought I may as well start one in the area of the actual diet I am doing. I lost 10lbs in my first week and I am feeling quite good after that and it has spurred me on somewhat.

I use to eat mackerel because of how healthy it is, however it is horrible and I will not touch the stuff again. It put me off fish altogether for a while, but I really like tuna and anchovies. Black pudding.

Emmaline most likely has it right, have a look at your carb intake.

You need to eat, in order to lose weight. If you're not overly hungry, try and have a light lunch and then a bigger dinner.

I see you sometimes miss meals, making sure you have three a day is imperative. Also I see you substitute dinner sometimes with cereal, that can't be good can it?

Strange, I am starting to crave the bad stuff, after 10 days of being strong and not caring, lol. I am resisting the urge though, I have a feeling it's gonna be a while before I get past these cravings. I can do it though.:character00116:

Thanks Yogi.:)

Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was really good, I dunno how I've never seen it before now.

If it's ok I will join your Sunday weigh in.

Well done with your weight loss.:)

I had tuna and mayo with some tomatoes for dinner, it was delicious. I don't know why I struggled with the atkins diet the first time. Now back to doing work for uni.:wave_cry:

Sleepless night, coming down with a cold, yuck. These are the times I like to comfort eat usually but I don't have that urge like normal. I think I may actually go all the way with dieting this time.:eek: I had a weird combination for breakfast, I ate a bowl of raspberries and then I had some...

1. To help ease my anxiety and depression and maybe even get rid of it. 2. To feel and look healthy. 3. To be able to start dating, I have only ever been on one date and feel my weight has hindered me greatly, I'm getting on at 23 as well. 4. For me

The wii is really good for exercise, I use my xbox kinect more now though. I find myself getting a lot of use out of Dance Central 2, I never usually do any dancing lol but it is really good and helps work up a sweat.

You have done brilliantly with your weight loss, very inspirational stuff. You look great!

I saw the second episode it was really good, I felt a little sorry for Damien was it? What if he was ill and that did hinder his ability to push himself to the limit? I think they should keep them all in until the end and obviously declare the winner by who lost the biggest percentage.

I tried oopsie rolls for the first time on my atkins and they were really good, it is nice to have something to put burgers on instead of eating them on there own. I am still feeling good and feel I can stick to my diet.:D

I have one tattoo and would love more, I will probably get another one done sometime this year, I have a few ideas in mind.

I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and her name is Millie.

ceaseless

I am feeling really good at the moment, I have a strong feeling of hope as well. I haven't felt this motivated in a looooong time. I have just had a work out on Dance Central 2 for the Xbox Kinect, it is great. I have a chicken cooking and I am looking forward to eating.:)

Thanks Worried Chick.:)

Yup, they were comics first and definitely worth a read. Some violent stuff in it, so it's not for the faint hearted.

I read the comic books first(I am a tiny bit geeky) and they were brilliant, I really enjoy watching the show as well. I can't wait for it to start back up.:)

Argh, it's started already, I will have to try and catch up on demand at some point.

I have just finished watching American Horror Story and I must say it is brilliant!!! It wasn't so scary, more creepy and eerie, I liked all the back stories to the previous tenants. Definitely a must watch and I hope there is another series.

Too many to choose from:D but off the top of my head, films like the Back To The Future series,Big with Tom Hanks, The Goonies and Jingle All The Way.

Thanks purple roses.:)

Well today was the first weigh in and great news, I have lost 10lbs, I know I won't lose anywhere near this again. However I hope to be able to keep losing around 3-4lbs a week.

Thank you all, for your kind words. :)

Well I have still yet to weigh myself since starting my diet, but I have stuck to it and I am sure I have lost something, I'm just not sure how much lol. I will weigh myself tomorrow and post my first weight loss.

I have around 9 stone to lose to get to my ideal weight. It needs to be done, not only is it affecting me physically it is affecting me mentally too. I suffer from social anxiety and depression, most likely because I have been in such a bad way physically since I was eleven. I am 23 now and it...

A very inspirational story, congratulations on your wedding.

I'm 23 years old and weigh in at a big 21 stone. I have 9 stone to lose and its going to be a long and winding road to get there. I feel even worse at this time of year with all the over indulging. I was going to wait until after new years day to start my diet, but screw that, why wait? It...
