Here i am again... I've gone from SW to Atkins and now back to SW again... Re-joined group last Tuesday 21st and original weight was 13.1&half and on my last weigh in i was 13 stone therefore have lost 1.5 lbs which is a loss i suppose and if im honest it was a bit of a crappy week... I have...

yea lunches really. or teas depending if ive had a proper meal as my lunch if that makes sense. Im always struggling what to have for lunch really and i quite like soups when they are homemade im just so used to chicken and sweetcorn or leek and potato and for obv reasons i cant have sweetcorn...

cant say im a fan of stilton haha! then again i have forced myself to like veg since i was on atkins before as im quite fussy to veg if im honest but if i want to get fit im going to have to like things in order to become healthy!! :)

This is my second time on Atkins... and i did quite well but went off track when my partner came back from being away and basically put the stone i lost straight back on again because weve been quite comfortable together and yeah its new year now so i need to get back on it. Basically what i...

Katelyn: Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah I agree that a lot of the motivation is positive thinking haha I've only just managed to change my way of thinking. He's been away for 3 months longest 3 months of my life haha I've only been with him a year but were like best friends talk all day everyday...

Congrats :) you've done really well. I'm loving atkins and surprised I'm not missing my carbs too much. I'm planning on staying on phase 1 for a few more weeks to drop some more then move to phase 2 and gradually add things to my diet! Well done! & keep up the good work xx

Thanks... think it was the motivation i needed that my partner said he wanted to try for a baby my head is firmly screwed on for this weight loss... hopefully il get into size 10 clothes and il be one happy bunny :) 10st here i come! :) x

kazt thats website that youve written has not come up... boo not good. I weigh in on a monday morning each week i write down on my signature on here but i actually go on the scales each morning... i know im not suppose to do this but i like to see the dial go down haha!! should really get out of...

I love the idea of atkins myself... because although ive not been following ritually ive lost 10lbs in under a month which is good... for me anyway haha

I only had standard quick and easy, sausage, bacon boiled egg and spinach nothing exciting but Im in need of inspirational foods that I can cook! :) Great idea to create this page. Looking forward to seeing other peoples ideas xx

Hey im glad people are starting to notice means your effort is paying off! :) Im on week 3 of atkins (phase 1) and am finding it really good at the moment granted a few cheats here and there though mainly because im with friends but trying to stick to it as much as possible. I can be a diet...

Heyyyyy, im 24 and was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago.. as i suffered from abdominal pains etc therefore they did an ultrasound and a vaginal camera thing... and found i had PCOS... although they didnt state how bad my cysts were and didnt really discuss much about it like most of you I...

Well im not in the same situation... but like you i have been diagnosed with PCOS and have not had any form of contraception for a year and am waiting for my periods to return... as me and my partner will be trying to conceive when he comes home (in 3 weeks from work) therefore i am following...

I am currently on the atkins diet and find this to be very easy to juggle a busy life style... as you can just have cooked meats in the fridge and prepare some spinach, broccoli etc in a pan that only take a few minutes... Good luck in whatever diet you choose, there is plenty of support on...

Im not losing weight for a wedding but i am losing weight to keep try and keep the symptoms of my pcos at bay and try for a baby with my partner... technically not the same as getting married but both are big parts! :) I do have another few stone to lose... I too have lost a stone. my partner is...

FIrstly welcome and so far sounds like your quite active in your job therefore its not like you dont exercise. Have you looked into Slimming world... i did that for a year or 2 and fluctuated in weight because i didnt really stick to it... but it is a very good diet and can be juggled into...

We are all in the same boat really all come here for the support and guidance that we all need and that little boost when we are feeling low. Good Luck im sure you will get to where you want to be. If your struggling and are in a rut have you tried looking at what your eating and maybe analyzing...

So easy to put on weight isnt it? I have found anyway. Good luck with SW I have previous experience using SW and have found it to work & a bonus you get to eat anything in moderation haa x

Firstly welcome :) I'm 24 and am 80kgs. i have always been a yo-yo dieter if im honesty but after looking at a photo of myself a few weeks ago and seeing that i was actually huge... roughly must have been 15 stone and i found the exact dress and tried it on thankfully lately i have been on a...

Have you tried focusing on something e.g. like fitting into a dress you like etc... for me my motivation is trying for a baby when my partner is home and this has worked... you need to look at everything as a positive and turn everything negative into something positive... this has worked for me...

Good luck with SW... i have been on SW before and found it to be successful... am currently on Atkins and find this to be loads better mainly because ive changed my way of thinking and carbs are no longer ruling my meals haha! :) Feel free to ask anything :) x

Thanks!! I will definitely be looking at the recipes that you have posted... as for mayo and avocados i'm quite fussy its only taken me 24 years to start focing myself to eat veg hahaa... and thats literally mixing it with whatever i have on my plate so i dont have to taste it haha!! But im...

I absolutely love them more so I got some again today looked at the ones with different flavours but all too high carbs whjch is a bit gutting but on the plus side the pork ones are ultra yummy! :)

Thanks need some motivation to loose more haha xx

Hey & thanks for reading. Have been a member for a while now starting and restarting think my start weight was 15stone when I first started here and now I'm down to 12st.8lbs so have lost just over 2 and a half stone. Few weeks ago have started atkins and have lost 10lbs in about 3 weeks. My...

I have not long started Atkins myself and have found it quite good so far... lost 10lbs in roughly 3 weeks i think but that includes a few cheat days. Thing about atkins is the you need to have a good balance of proteins etc. I used to hate veg but because this diet is so focused on meat and veg...

Well done. great achievement in knowing that we work so hard for a good result :)

I have TESCO FINEST outdoor bred pork sausages (£2.60 per pack or 2 for £5)... works out as 1.6g carbs per 2 grilled sausages but 0.6g is fiber therefore works out as 1g per 2. :) Hope that helps. x

Great post! certainly an eye opener! x

The road to getting slim is finally underway!! After battling with yo-yo dieting for ages I have finally realised that I have lost a great amount of weight without even really trying. The other day I came across a photo of myself from a year and a half ago safe to say that is definitely not...

After re-starting Slimming World AGAIN this year ive decided now that i'm going to create a food diary for each day and add to it as i seem fit, any input and feedback would be great as i know its going to be a long journey - i do want to lose 10lbs in 5 weeks not too sure if this is possible...

i'm so glad you joined into my post as i have PCOS... and am currently trying to lose weight due to me feeling that i am overweight and am definately not as confident as i used to be... and me and the OH are trying to conceive too but i understand its harder for people with PCOS to conceive...
