Hi, thanks for your reply. Really helpful and now I can have rest day and know it as important as my exercise days without feeling guilty:)

Thanks coffeelover I'm gonna try to stick to meat eggs and veg and see if anything shifts. Not asking for huge loses now, but some shift on the scale or tape at the weekend would be nice.

Hi, Been feeling a little fed up over weight this week. Been such a slow journey. I am sticking to Atkins and I'm cutting out cream from my food this week, also think I'll watch my cheese. Still exercising, but reading stuff on forums saying exercise increases appetite and so hinders weight...

Hi all,I would really appreciate some advice. I have started exercising for the first time in my life. I completed 30 day shred last week and I'm now trying out some other Jillian Michaels DVDs.My question is how often should I exercise? Should I take rest days?If I take a day off I find I lose...

Tried banish fat boast metabolism DVD by Jillian Michaels today.This is the toughest one I've tried. Very pleased that I made it too the end. Loads of reviews said not for inexperienced and many people couldn't make it to the end. It was certainly hard and in jillians words it was no cake walk!

Feeling positive again today :)I am sticking 100% to plan since weds. To be fair in two months this has been my first blip. My body has given up carbs and caffeine and been put through a daily exercise routine.

Fed up today. I am paying for my carb blow out on Monday with a two pound gain :'(So tempted to reach for the cereal for breakfast. Instead the quickest food I could find was left over cauli mash which I ate with pepperoni slices. Weird but at least kept carbs lower than if I'd had cereal.Hubby...

I like sat am weigh in, at least if you have any social events that are not quite comparable with Atkins you have week to repair situation

Brunch tuna salad Dinner Debbie and Andrew sausages, cauli mash green beans with grated cheese Loads of water today 3 or 4 fruit teas

Firstly I would like to update my diary title, but can't on my phone so I'm stuck with it for now. I must admit it took me 31 days to complete shred I took one day off (my carb binge day was no shred so double bad day) Oh my started six week six pack tonight. It is tough. Mainly because I am...

I totally agree with comments above. If you have been on vlcd and now following Atkins woe then to stay same is fantsstic. Your body is consuming higher amounts of fat and calories and you haven't put on an oz. Keep at it. I have found rambling on in a diary helps. It focus me on what I have...

Take couple of chicken breasts, slice open and fill opening with either philli or seriously strong cheese spread. Place in oven proof dish, top with sliced mushrooms and poor over some cream,about 100mls. Cook in oven till chicken cooked through If you wish you can wrap breasts in...

I have made flaxseed bread without an egg. Mix with butter and water then I spread thinly on a plate. Microwave and when cooked very carefully lift off plate. It's very fragile, then I normally toast. More like cracker than bread. If you miss baking powder out of a traditional mim with egg...

Hi Katie, think it was cause I'd had a carb binge night before, had cravings which I had been clear of for over a month. Back on straight and narrow again. Just finished 30 day shred :) new DVD tomorrow. New challenge 6 week 6 pack. I'm mad, from no exercise to Jillian challenges.

Well yesterday I had a little slip up with a bag of open crisps. They sat tormenting me and in the end I ate them :( At least the temptation has now gone. Back in the zone, only missed shred one day and finish my thirty days tomorrow! Breakfast. Cold chicken left over veg and mayo Lunch...

Very much enjoyed lol Very thirsty and tummy feels bit bloated now. Back on plan today. Eggs for breakfast then weekly shop to restock on veg :) Feel uncomfortable so won't do that too frequently. If I can stay back on plan then I know I'm winning with this woe. Normally if I was doing say...

Oops! Red wine, pizza, crisps and chocolate. Tomorrow is another day and hubby had bday. First slip( but what a big one) in 7 weeks. Only managed 3 slices of pizza :) good result showed control, but still shoved down crisps and chocolate. No shred tonight either. Oh well gonna sleep on it...

Hey Honda, come join me in shred again:)

God its so hard to shift the fat is bad moto we're exposed to everyday. Snack used to be a large bag of kettle chips, a large bag of chocolate buttons ( those resealable ones, though rarely did I reseal) or a good day both plus red wine. Snack now cubes of cheese or mim Could do with a nice...

Todays shredding done :) Found much better to do before dinner, did it in the evening yesterday and I was so hungry after. Todays menu- Breakfast mim sliced with marmite (now loving Mims, think initially I struggled with anything egg like whilst I cut out the carbs. Now back to loving eggs...

Fionut you must try it. Have you sat and watched it? I watched it on you tube before attempting it. Also I haven't gone mad doing it, if I struggle then I do easier method or take quick rest. This way I have built my fitness level up without over doing it. Busybusy its a DVD by Jillian Michaels...

Morning. So happy today, can get into (and their comfy) size 10 jeans. I can only attribute this to the exercise I'm doing as I have not been a 10 at this weight before.

Pound off Yippee :) Breakfast two hard boiled eggs with mayo Lunch chicken salad Dinner smoked sausage, csuli mash and broccoli Hungry now may treat myself to a cheese mim

Lol where'd all my spaces go in the last post? I typed with paragraphs. I blame my HTC.

Evening all.Tried Holland and Barrett for soya but no go on the nut front :( had a mooch around for low carb treats. Decided that if I incorporate low carb treats I'll be on a slippery slope back to those grab bags of giant chocolate buttons that I used to polish off in one sitting. So just a...

Dinner was a throw together kind of meal. Fried mushrooms, peppers with mattersons smoked sausage (known as curly sausage in our house) and cauliflower rice. Piled high on plate and melted a little cheese on top. Yum:) I love a good one pan dinner.

I was completely sick of eggs by day 5, but I think its part of the body craving carbs. I now enjoy eggs for my breakfast. I tend to hardboil them six at a time in my veg steamer and have them for breakfasts or as a snack:)

Todays menu- Breakfast two hard boiled eggs sliced and topped with mayo and paprika Lunch lovely salad, lettuce, tomato, yellow pepper and tuna mayo Dinner hmmm can't decide, kids ate already so I'll think about what to do hubby and me while I do baths and stories:)

Hi thanks for checking out your soya flour. I spend my life reading labels for allergies and now for carbs. Cauliflower rice salad was lovely, can't wait to have it again. The whole what's classified as a nut is totally confusing. Peanuts aren't nuts but legumes, however always lumped...

Cauliflower rice cold from the night before makes a delicious salad. It was the first time I made it, I didn't bother with the microwave and went straight to the frying pan. Really yummy, how do the rest of you make it? I would describe my cooking skills as experimental, lol, I try new things...

Yummy. That's exactly what we had for tea here. Yes the egg does run into the meat. Enjoy:)

Morning. Another wet start to the day here:( Breakfast- flaxseed cracker with butter and marmite Lunch- leftovers. Cauliflower rice with chicken and mayo. Eaten cold like a rice salad. (May not be popular at work with cauliflower and garlic chicken) Dinner- defrosting some mince. Probably be...

Hi I've been inspired by the 30 day shred thread on here. I am now up to day two level 3. Has anyone else bought jillians collection? Can't decide which to do next. Choices are- no more trouble zones, banish fat boost metabolism, 6 week six pack. Anyone tried any of these out?

Breakfast- two hard boiled eggs sliced in half and topped with mayo and paprika Lunch- ham salad, in a hurry busy morning and was getting on for school run Dinner- spatchcock chicken, few carrots and green beans for colour and cauliflower rice Shred level 3 day 2 done:)

Hi I am trying to be chilled about what I weigh this time around. I measured my self a few weeks in and watching the inches go is great encouragement. Besides when people look at you they see looser clothing, slimmer faces and loose jewelery they don't see the number on your scales :) Celebrate...

Day off today. Hairdressers and Tesco shop, didn't do big shop last week as kids were off and in my opinion Tesco no fun with two kids. I'll post daily menu later, not decided on tea yet:)

Shopping tomorrow, may look at diabetic jam see what the carbs are.

Ah seems to be working now. Todays menu- Breakfast- flaxseed cracker with butter and marmite. Lunch- tuna, lettuce, tomato and mayo Dinner- cauliflower mash, peas, mushrooms, steak fried with chilli and black pepper Evening snack- cubes of strong cheddar Day 1 level 3 shred done:) boy...

Day 10 level 2 completed today. I can feel an improvement when I do the cardio circuits. Physically down 4 inches off my waist :) . Bring on level 3 tomorrow.

I've never stuck to an exercise DVD in my life, but after reading good reviews on this I took the plunge. Today I did day ten of level two :) bring on level 3! I can tell from the cardio that my fitness is improving and I've lost 4 inches off my waist. I hope the improvements continue. I'm...

Thanks for your welcoming comments :) sounds weird but kinda enjoying shred. It's only 20 mins of my day, often the kids join in too lol. I hope to keep the exercise up as I know its the key to me maintaining. My one treat is pear drop squash (sugar free of course). Trying to avoid any other...

Pastry free quiche, cauliflower mash, green beans and spinach.

After reading everyone's inspirational posts and diaries I have decided to start my own diary to keep me motivated. So today I think I start week 6 of the Atkins woe. I' ve lost track. So far I' ve had good losses, weeks with no losses and small gains, but the important thing is I'm lighter...
