Not really losing weight at the moment but feeling so much better and the body shape is on the move!!!! Inch loss is rock n roll! Hope everyone is ok :)

Welcome and you are well under way now, to realising your goal - now how cool is that? Super Cool ;). Well done :)

still bobbing around the same weight - but inches are going according to the fit of my clothes! All good here :)

now that sounds really good!

oh it was to die for really! I don't regret it, but must get my Atkins head back on now! I mean right now lol ;)

let my hair down a bit today! We didn't intend to but it's our wedding anniversary and the roast potatoes at the carvery looked so good - as did the homemade cherry cheescake for dessert! Oops! Extra strict tomorrow - extra extra water too.

sirloin steak and buttered broccoli for dinner! mfp says 18 carbs today lol! :cool:

Yay! for the 2lb's well done :)

Great tip thanks re: mfp! I wouldn't have thought of that:)

well according to MyFitnessPal I've had 33 carbs today!!! Must watch that homemade coleslaw better in future! :confused:

No change in weight today, but a huge step forward as I felt ok waking up! It was probably an extended induction flu lol. Yay! good to feel good again :)

Congratulations! It is very motivating indeed. Great work. :)

Aww! What a difficult day for you :(

ooh thanks! that's given me some further food for thought. I don;t often add salt but will give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. :)

Well according to my fitness pal I'm dead on 20 carbs today! Hmm!

I can't be getting enough net carbs in. Was very shaky before dinner! I need to chart my food intake better.

Aww those hormones are mean! thinking of you :)

Thanks yes I've got bucket loads of supplements. I have a feeling my allergy stuff is too strong and it's a dehydrating effect. But ..... and it's a big but..... I'm open to it being an induction complication too. I've been getting this since early July just before I started induction, although...

8lbs rocks! I'm a scale addict too. I've been away for over two weeks and didn't have a scale - so I've broken the habit a bit. It really is best to stick to once a week minimum - but it's not easy for some of us. You are doing really well :)

Morning :) enjoy a more relaxed week!

:)Congratulations - what wonderful news

Still hungover in the mornings - but it's not an 'ill' feeling so I'm not too worried. I think something else is going on to be honest - but it wasn't a good night anyway. I Had an early night and went to bed at 10. Woke up at 12.30 for bathroom then woke again at 2.30 as my car alarm went off...

Got a positive on the ketostix and had slow roast beef, cauli and Broccoli for dinner! All good today :)

Fabulous loss - congratulations and you know how your body handles the WOE! A perfect recipe for success! :)

Yes I reckon you are right about the induction flu! Although I tried to stay low carb throughout my 2 weeks away it wasn't always possible - so going through it again I guess!!!

Good to be over the headaches etc of induction but having terrible trouble waking up in the mornings! It's like I have concussion for about an hour! My body must be rebelling!

lol! I've tided myself over with mackerel salad. I thought I'd bought smoked mackerel but it was raw (I'm not a sushi fan). A quick evacuation of the salad and a zap in microwave did it, but it's the chicken I'm looking forward to the most :)

I second that :)

it's just the best that you can eat the crispy skin and the smell as it's it's cooking is divine. Chicken day here we come!

oooh salami crisps sound so good!

Back eating the induction way for the past two days to get my body back in the swing of losing weight again, after working away. Induction flu has hit but it's a welcome sign. Went to bed at 9 last night and slept for 11 hours!!! Roast chicken tonight methinks :)

nom nom!

thanks for the welcome back moonlights and everyone. I had a lovely surprise this morning when the scales dropped to 15st 9lbs! Yay! I cracked a stone in weight and now in double figures in kilo's! :) I've promised myself when I reach 7 kilo loss I'll join the gym - it's getting close - yikes!!!!

thanks for the encouragement. I had been hoping to log in over the past fortnight but the day finished around 9 with prep for the next still to do. It was certainly a nice surprise not to add any weight back. :)

Well done on your decision. I'm also on some meds which cause weight gain too. It's not easy but being on the meds and Atkins does eventually pay off. As I lose more weight I hope I can manage on a lower dose of steroids - so there is hope on the horizon! Well done on not regaining all your...

Back after a two week stint of teaching. Residential food is definitely not Atkins friendly, but I did what I could and the scales are the same as before I left. I'm really pleased about this. Back on the wagon now and restarting properly tomorrow :)

Hope you feel a lot better soon

That's great service. I love the tablet. I travel a lot and it's a godsend - especially as you can download the kindle app and save packing lots of heavy books too. I also use the free weight tracker graphs you can download, so I can see all the stats.

thanks & I agree. I should put the scale away and forget about it really. My two weeks away without a scale will hopefully break the habit.

it's great knowing how to get back on track and what we need to do. Your journey is an inspiration.

Great progress:)

I have to stop weighing myself. I'm losing the same pound over and over at the moment and don't want to get discouraged. Saturday I'll be working away from home for 2 weeks, with NO scale! More water today methinks.

Good to meet you here:)

Congratulations! You've done a fantastic job!:)

Thanks for the kindness. Despite the steroids I'm down 0.2kg and feeling much better. Clothes are getting looser, so all is going well.:)

Had a good weekend and not feeling tempted by the old carb habits. I'm a bit disappointed as I've had to 'up' the steroids due to a chest infection. It'll probably slow the loss for while but if I can get the dose down eventually, I'll have a nice whoosh!

Thanks for the encouragement :)

Hello Everyone. I'm not new to Atkins but have been yo yo ing with it for the last few years. It always works for me but it always made me ill, so I gave up. I since discovered I am intolerant of dairy produce, wheat (no problem) and eggs. Now I know what I can't have, I am back on the Atkins...

mananged a loss of 1/2 pound this week & got my first half stone sticker! Well done for all the losses and hang in there those who haven't. I'm a very slow loser and it can be tough but worth it in the end.

LOL - I think that's the case ;)

That's what I'm thinking Tazp. There are other groups which run at different times. I may check them out. However, I know she regularly covers the other groups. I need to investigate!!! :)

Happy to be down 1lb tonight but not enjoying group at all. The hall was cold and the rock hard chairs were awful. Came out and all we wanted to do was comfort eat to get warm again!! I'm thinking I may give up the group. I find it very boring and also I don't like the way the consultant assumes...

I deliberately set my scales to show kg. what I look for is a downward trend. However, I know I should ditch them but I confess "I'm a scale addict" lol. I don't get hung up on fluctuations but if it goes down in numbers and stays down, it usually means a loss. The real result is tonight at WI...

Got my weigh in this evening. I STS last week and hoping for a drop! My home scales show a drop this week so I'm optimistic.

Poor you! Hope you get better soon.

I'm the same. Lost nothing last week on my fourth wi. My home scales read the same as the group's and there's still no shift this week. Spoke to my consultant last night and agreed it may be worth trying Red days. In the past, I did well on low carb diets but they made me ill after a while. If...

-1lb for me tonight. Happy it's in the right direction!

Welcome and all the best for your SW journey.

Welcome Sarah. I just started SW and this is my second week. Weigh in tomorrow! I've never eaten so much and so healthily!!! Feeling better already and steadily losing weight.

Welcome :) 3 of us from the family joined SW on 6th January and finding we have never eaten so healthily and lost weight. We go to the local class and get weighed in tomorrow for the second time. The recipes on the site and in the magazine are delicious and have given us lots more choice than we...

I'm using a game called "Your Shape - Fitness evolved" It has lots of fun Gym games as well as workout classes, Yoga and a virtual personal fitness trainer (she really makes you work hard;). I've ordered "The Biggest Loser Workout" from Amazon which should be here tomorrow. Watch this space! I...

Good thanks :) Lost 3lbs the first week - 2nd weigh in tomorrow. Have started exercising with Xbox Kinect and walking a little more. Starting to feel much better even though it hasn't been very long on this path. :)

Thanks Blondegem. We started around the same time! Well done on the 2.5 loss.

All the best Dizzy - You'll have an amazing Pride in May!

I'm doing Slimming World - All the best for your weight loss

All the best. I'm new as well :)

Hi I've been struggling to lose weight with a particular diet on and off for the past couple of years, but it kept making me ill. It just didn't suit me although it was good for weight loss. I gave up before Xmas and put al losses back on again. So I joined Slimming world on the 5th of this...
