Diet starts tomorrow honestly Part 2..................................

[breeze]

Thought I would start this as the other one was getting really long.

Since I started the other thread I have lots a few pounds, put them back on, lost them etc etc etc. Finally realised that I need to do something about it after this last week of chocolate and crap, went out today for lunch and ate far too much.

On Monday I am going to Rosemary Conleys, i did go before but the time didn't really suit me, but this one finished and starts earlier so I can go when DH is at work while my mum has ds. So I am really going for it now.

Congrats on the ones who joined me last time and have actually managed to lose weight. Watch this space.....

hang on a minute! Let me clarify..... that was spread over a week, not all in one night. Even M2T couldn't drink 3 bottles in one night!

Now there's a challenge

Me checking in - weighing day was yesterday and I've lost another 2lb, making 11lb in total.

Well Diet still going okay, however tonight my friend is dragging me (kicking and screaming of course) to the pub for a meal and a few drinks. Megg

And I thought it was you who was the bad influence Breeze. (Sorry haven't worked out how to do smiley things).

: then o

Just checking in. Weigh-in a bit sporadic due to DS illness over last few weeks.
Now lost a stone since first weigh in!

BRAVO ! Woozle!

well done woozle on losing your stone. I would like to try the atkins diet, could anyone tell me anything about it. I would like to lose 16 pounds,ive tried weight watchers and just couldnt stick to it , weight loss was too slow, i feel like i need a quick boost to get me into it

I've changed to a "UK" version of Atkins by Charles Clark. Principles are the same - very low carb and high protein.

Basically no bread, potatoes, rice etc. (Clark diet does allow 1 slice wholemeal bread a day)
Nothing sweet - no fruit even (except on the Clark diet you can have 1 orange a day for vit c)
I eat lots of chicke, fish vegetables and salad, a few nuts, bacon, egg cheese etc

Drinking mainly water supplemented with tea for a treat and the occasional glass of wine!!

The theory is that the body will burn carbs first - if none available turns to fat burning - fab!

Clark is slightly more flexible that Atkins and seems to cater more for UK in terms of recipes etc

HTH

Weight loss now 13lb and counting.... Just one more pound for that first stone.

Still a long way to go tho'! Sticking really well to Atkins and feel really good.

Well done to all those who have been losing weight. I finally have my weigh-in tonight after a 2 weeks weight, I hope to have lost at least a few pounds, but will have to wait and see.

Bummers. UP one pound this week, to 10st 13lb! And it's not even as if i was "bad" last week! - at least I could then have go to some pleasure out of it!

Still, hopefully this is just a blib and I will continue my slow and steady progress downwards.

Amazingly I lost 2lb this week which I can only put down to the fitness regime I've got now. Although I wasn't too bad for 2/3rds of the time. Trouble is I really have to motivate myself to get back on track and do it properly so I can lose even more weight. Good luck for tonight Breeze.

megg, With the amount of crap I have eaten in the past week, I will need it

Well I lost 2 lbs So I am quite pleased

Well done Breeze.

That's great breeze - keep it up!

....'s'not fair..... I was GOOD all last week and put ON a pound!

I am doing so badly I can't bring myself to post here any more. I hate being on steroids makes it imposs to lose weight

tip toes in<

Well done breeze.

SamboM - I just got my dose if summer steroids today for my asthma. Do you mind if I ask why you take them?

tip toes back out before anyone asks how I've done

Funny story goes with last nights RC session. For the work out we used resistance bands, well half-way through the exercise it slipped out of my hand and pinged the lady on the leg next to me, who let out a loud yelp. Its like a massive elastic band, needless to say she then proceeded to not so subtly move to the other end of the room.

I had my third weigh in yesterday and I lost 3lb, making it 1 stone in 3 weeks

That's fantastic Chiccadum! Lots of gold stars to you!

M2T, I take them 4 Crohn's disease. Been on them for a year and a half (prednisolone)

Weigh in day today - 1 stone 2lbs lost now.

Oh - whilst I'm on Chiccadum 2 of your mums net friends are worried about you (see missing mumshetters). I've told them you busy posting about weight loss!
