I went into a butchers yesterday and they were selling bags of Home made pork scratchings ....they were lovely so much nicer than the bagged ones you get out of supermarkets
Morning Angie - and have a fab time at V!
Loving the sound of those pork scratchings - I never thought to ask the butcher for them!

You'll be fine. Get back on track and stay there and with all the walking and dancing I bet you'll barely notice any stall. My tip for festival and street food though: there's usually a hog roast doing baguettes - which have quite a lot of meat in big chunks in them which you can pick out easily. And you'll know it's just meat, not processed and messed around with. Though as processed and messed around with goes, grabbing a burger and ditching the bun, or even a hot dog (will be carbier but not deadly) are always options.

Oooh I love those Debbie and Andrews sossies - find them really hard to get now, so have moved onto Tesco toulouse ones, I think they have the same carb content.
Glad you enjoyed V, but make sure you rest those legs and feet!

Good girl, it is really the best approach to only weigh once a week - the scales bounce around like you wouldn't believe from day to day!

Well I havent logged on for ages ....was very disappointed when I did eventually weigh myself and had only lost 2lb in 3 weeks in total I lost 5lbs the first month.
Anyway went back to counts cals for a week or so and then went on holiday....weighed myself once I got back from holiday Monday .....well u guessed it I've gone from 11.12 to 12.12 I've put on a stone in 3 weeks .....i am ow at my heaviest since my early twenties.....joined weight watchers Monday and it's only weds and I feel totally drained mentally and physically.
So here I am back again determined to get back on Atkins I guess I wanted miracles but a 5lb loss in a month is brilliant wished I realised that when I decided to chuck Atkins in. Mentally and physically I felt great on Atkins I never felt hungry and if I did there was always something I could nibble on. Going out to eat wasn't a struggle either.
I realise ik now have to look at this as a long term plan and not a quick fix....and although I only lost 5lbs it felt much more ....my clothes looked lovely on and I had lost inches
Well wish me luck just got to get over the Atkins flu

Welcome back, we are all impatient to loose weight quickly. What I find with Atkins is that I feel great and have no cravings (which is the main reason I fail on other diets). This makes it easier to stick with. Good luck with the restart, I restarted 10 days ago after my hols and can't believe how good I feel again.

Well day 1 over and done with did have a bit of a wobble yesterday in the evening ....was a mental wobble ....as I didn't know what to do for tea I had planned on doing salad with bacon, chese and tuna ....I didn't quite fancy it lol....as I had sausages in the fridge and not the low carb variety but put my craving for sausages on ignore
Yesterday I had
1oz cheese and slice of ham for brekkie
Lunch was
2 eggs
3 slices of bacon
3 cherry tomatoes
2oz of cheese all made into a omelette
Dinner
Salad
Tuna
Bacon slices
Cheese
Egg
Sugar free jelly
Double cream
Peeked at the scales this morning and they are saying 3lb loss overnight well chuffed already lost 2lb early part of this week so that's a 5lb loss in four days .....all those clotted cream scones I ate in devn last week are coming off lol...I was like a woman possessed last week on holiday ...everyday meals out with desserts plus afternoon tea with clotted cream scones eekkk
I've still got another 9lb to get back to where I was 3 weeks ago but feeling better today mind not so fuzzled about which way to go re the dieting etc....and was feeling exhausted on weight watchers but was considering judddd just didn't think I could do the down days very well.
Good luck kaylee hope u see some good losses
Did have a really bad headache last night before I went to bed but other than that I haven't had any other Atkins flu symptoms

Kat1e said:Hi angie, welcome back. Feeling good is the key
Thanks Katie that was my reasoning behind getting back into Atkins counting calories and weight watchers seems to make me feel like crap mentally and exhausted physically prob due to the fact that I tend just to have very little to eat in the day and eat most of my cals/points in the evening so that I know I won't go over. On Atkins I never felt drained mentally although at times physically I was tired. And although I only lost 5lb in a month on Atkins it was still a loss and it didn't interfere with my life as much as other diet plans do.
You have done so well Katie very inspirational
