Today's plan :) Just had the most gorgeous scrambled egg for brekkie, it was yum. Lunch: sardines and cucumber with mayonnaise. Tea: baked mackerel with chillies and olives and a green salad. Have a lovely Friday :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think this plan is all about tweaking it and customising it to what works for you, that what I like about it, it's flexible. In the new book it says diet Pepsi etc is fine to have has part of the fluid you drink. I'm only having about 4 glasses at the very most anyway, and that's not everyday...

Day 4 went really well. Ive actually felt energised and full of life today. No headaches, no feeling dizzy, sick or knackered. Mood lifted and stable instead of up and down. Still 3rd pink ketosis too. This is the best I've felt in ages and my appetite is not raging either :) Breakfast: chopped...

You can have lots of different cheese, cheddar being one of them. :) if you have a look on the Atkins website there's a list of allowed food for each phase. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Day 3 (yesterday) done and dusted with no problems :) Breakfast: chopped boiled egg with butter and pepper. Lunch: nothing, still full up from breakfast. Tea: chilli mince with cheese and sour cream, lettuce, cucumber and rocket. Snacks; 2 small packets of pork scratchings. Drank loads of...

Second day went without a problem. Tend to get an headache right after I've eaten tea, so don't know what that's all about. Breakfast: nothing apart from creamy coffees, water and diet lemonade. Lunch: again nothing apart from more of the above. Tea: roast chicken with 400g broccolli, 60g...

How did your first day go? I woke up with a thumping headache in the night don't know if that was the start of the dreaded carb flu or just a coincidence. I didn't manage breakfast yesterday only a few creamy coffees and lots of water. Lunch was tuna chunks and lettuce with mayonnaise and tea...

I've also started on Atkins induction today having never really done it before. I'm like you a serial dieter, mainly sliming world green days which I never really had an awful lot of success on long term and I think it's down to the carbohydrates. At the beginning of the year I started calorie...

So started SW plan again yesterday - even if I only get 5 good days before the heavy long weekend then it's a start. So I did a green day: A) skimmed milk A) 40g reduced fat cheddar B) 35g porridge oats B) 60g bread roll Breakfast: banana and yoghurt Lunch: home-made carrot and sweet potato...

If I had a pound for every time I've yo-yo'd this flippin' plan I would be a skinny assed size 6. Sunday night (actually its past mid-night so it's really Monday morning) and all I've done all weekend apart from eat and not sleep much is research eating plans to find one that will suit me once...

Well managed to get back on the plan yesterday. Did a green day and used 7 syns. Today is an EE and had porridge and fruit for brekkie, mackerel and salad for lunch with fruit and planning on hotpot and cabbage for dinner :)

Well revisiting the SW plan has had to be put on hold for at least a week. My sisters house-sitter let her down and decided to stay with his student friends drinking somewhere instead of getting in touch and making arrangements. So Im now house sitting and keeping her African grey parrot...

That's it in a nutshell. I'm actually gonna start on Saturday coz going out for lunch tomorrow with my big sister and she does like to spoil me a little and I don't like to say no and it only happens every few months, I will be in a better place willpower wise next time we meet up hopefully. I...

Okay I don't know if my close friends Mich or Mala come on Mini's anymore - but I'm going to be back on SW on Friday. I'm not going to class and I will be incorporating all 3 variations - i.e green, red and EE. I had a MOT checkup at the docs Wednesday afternoon - blood pressure up, knee joints...

How did you get on chuck? xxx

I'm still following the plan - but not to the letter. I've slowly started to get my appetite back and my counsellor and doctor last Friday quite rightly said that may be managing my weight shouldn't be a priority at the moment and its not a pressure I need. I'm still round and about but at the...

I had the 5 bean chilli with rice and only ate a quarter of it :( but my lovely hubs walked to the shop the other side of town and bought me some falafel and hummus dip. Anyone think I was underweight the way he fusses about me not eating enough lately. Got myself some nice light white wine...

Food today... Breakfast: coffee and cordial (hexA) Lunch: nothing :( Dinner: off to Wetherspoons with all the kids and my eldests gf and T. I'm going to make wise choices but to be honest it's more important for me to get my appetite back to a healthy level. Tonight we will probably have...

I can't wait to get it over with to be honest - expecting a gain or at least a sts. My medication was increased today from 30mg to 60mg so it's round 2 of the side effects again, shouldn't be too bad considering I know what to expect now I'll probably feel abit rough and out of sorts for a few...

While trying to sort out my friends list into close friends, family etc I've ended up flinging people off my friends list instead - technology was never my strong point - so if you find a friend request from me you'll know why lol :) xx

Think I'm just gonna have to go with the flow. I'm not even attempting to stick to plan today - my appetite is crap so Im picking just to make sure I have something, Still feel the nausea and restlessness. I'm taking the pressure off myself until I can tolerate this medication better. Hence...

Agreed!..the only way I would get a referral back to the support services again is if I tell them I'm suicidal or have attempted suicide or deemed a risk. Yet my initial referral was done by my doctor so I could be referred for counselling...it's back to front and a load of BS..

Believe it or not I was discharged from the MH crisis team back in December!!...no I don't get it either :(

Still feel crappy unfortunately. I'm hoping these side effects start to trail off because I have to up my dose in 7 days time xx

You're such a lovely kind person Micci xxx even if SW goes on the back burner for a while I'll still be on here. I would still like to feel like I've got an element of control. Mind you at the moment the problem is not over eating. My GP is aware of the sensitivity but just says the side...

I had some with brandy at the weekend :)....we all sound like we're at an AA meeting :D xx

Considering its going to rain tomorrow - there'll be no long walk followed by a picnic at the park with the ducks being guest of honour....but I've decided after Ive done my morning cleaning I'm gonna listen to my iPod through my earphones and fling myself round the house like a demented muppet...

I bought the tickets back in January for hubbs 50th - he loves ML and considering this really is his farewell tour (I know he's had a few) I just had to try and get them, considering he got me tickets for the Spandau Ballet reformation tour for my 40th :) I'm just so looking forward to time out...

not seen the unicorn grocery before. We only have a H&B and a few muscle Mary market stalls. Yep the braised Tofu didn't look that amazing - dont think the cats would even entertain it, good job the local Asda seems to have a fair choice with regards to alternative foods. I really hope I...

ML is on Wednesday!!! Whoop! 0/ I'm excited muchly!. Me and T have had 'words' and slowly but surely clearing the air. I think I'm still dealing with things differently because of this grief I feel for my mum - sometimes it's suffocating and makes everything else a big deal to bear - but I'm...

OH!!! I've had a lovely day! :) got all my bedding on the line and walked into town with a short sleeved top on, it was lovely and warm but felt very self-conscious that I wasn't wearing something long and sack like from head to toe. Anyway managed to get my opticians appointment made and...

I'm determined to get my bedding on the line today to dry in the glorious sun!. Planning on walking to the park today - have a chat with the ducks and geese like you do!. Also want to change to a dentist that is closer to home so going into the council to look at their recommended list. A...

Pink sounds amazing mind you I wouldn't expect anything else from her - glad you enjoy it love. Now for the syns at Nando's I can't find just basic chicken but I will post what I've found; The regular chips are 13 syns and regarding the rice it should be free if you're following EE or green...

Just had 30g of yogurt raisins and discover they're a whopping 3.5 for 15g and believe me 15g is not even a handful :/ so 7 syns gone and I could of had a curly wurly for that!...so that's nearly 100 syns gone with 4 days still to go and the lunch and dinner out and the Meat Loaf gig in between...

This is not the original one I was thinking of but I found this... 4 red chillies 1/4 tsp salt 189ml white wine vinegar (the recipe said white vinegar but I only had white wine) 8 tbsp sweetener 1) Deseed the chillies and chop them roughly. Blend them into a rough paste (I used a hand...

Noodles cooked in vegetable stock and garlic with sweetcorn and 40g of reduced cheddar sprinkled on top with bread :) x

Quorn roast with mashed and roasted potatoes, broccoli, carrots, sprouts and peas and vegetable gravy and 2 sage and onion Yorkshire puddings :)

You can easily pull that back and more - lots of super free fruit and veg, plenty water and abit of body magic will have the pounds flying off. But to be honest considering you went right off plan and enjoyed it, it's not much of a gain and it stopped you from crashing and burning heavily and...

I love them too :) xx

The quorn southern style burgers are actually 2.5 syns per burger on all plans :)

These :) You can get them from the pound shop/pound world they're little packets of wotsit type crisps and 2 syns per pack and you get 20 in a multi-pack. They're little life savers when you want something savoury but don't wanna blow your syns xx

That's ok I googled it. Ended the evening with a bowl of noodles and sweetcorn with veg stock abit like a chicken noodle soup and 2 packets of happy snax (4 syns) and a pear cidre (15 syns) = 19 syns.

Awww no why? You'll be ok - you've pulled yourself back well this week. I think you'll be really surprised love....you've had a break which you needed and then you got back on it...most people wouldn't of even bothered getting back on it xxx

T just came home from Tesco armed with a carton of Alpro unsweetened almond milk its on offer for £1. According to SW I can have 950ml of this. Any ideas on what to do with it other than tea and coffee... I actually think its delicious too and it's the first time I've tried it, but even I would...

Good afternoon :) Food today.. Brunch: coffee with unsweetened soya milk which was gorgeous so making the switch fully (hexA) 2 fry-lighted eggs and baked beans on 2 wholemeal toasts (hexB) with 2 laughing cow cheese (half a hexA) and marmite. Dinner: 3 Quorn sausages (3 syns) with potatoes...

It's one of my fave soups :) xx

I just boil the broccoli in veg stock then once its cooked I add the cheese triangles and blend with a hand blender xx

I usually use all 4 but it depends how much water your using and how strong you want the taste to be xx

Oh I might give them a go next week - what they like price wise? I've just switched to soya milk so making little changes here and there xx

Quorn sausage, mash and beans :) x

Yay! Thank flip you found it!. I'm just waiting for T to get home from work and I'm considering a fry up type of brunch too - what are the cauldron sausages like in comparison to the quorn ones taste and syn wise? I tried the LM rosemary and red onion ones a few weeks ago and they tasted of...

Hoping your wedding band turns up soon - it might of slipped off your finger because your fingers are getting slimmer :) I love BBQ's....what kinda things do you do on yours?. We don't have them in this house because it means shutting the cats away so we can have the back door open etc and its...

2 pound gain. I know why I've gained, but it still doesn't make it any easier to accept. Oh well back to the grindstone with it. I'm going to have to really focus now because I'm slowly but surely wavering and normal pattern of behaviour in these circumstances is to blow it all and spend a few...

Thank you lovely, lovely friends xxx Is there something in the atmosphere today?...downer Thursday me thinks :( My poor boy is laying in my bed with me next to him - this chest infection as really knocked him side-ways....don't matter how big they are they still want their mum. O is not too...

I've got to laugh ....<lol> isn't that the British thing to do? -_- Money talk turned into blame turned into argument turned into being 10 year olds. I'm currently at O's flat Ive already done 4 lagers and now mother and son are doing a bottle of JD. T would rather be on his own without me...
