ATKINS support thread - who's with me?!

[ElectricElephant]

Following on from my other post asking advice on Atkins, I'm going to give it a preoper go now and aim to lose 10lb by the end of September.

Who's with me - Katisha, Eyeballs, anybody else?

I'll start. This time last week I was 14 stone. I'm now 13 stone, 11lb. WOOHOO!

Sounds like AF really has an impact for you though.

Hm.. the 2 weeks after the wedding I really didn't follow the rules properly (had a big thing the weekend after two and ended up having 2 pizzas, oops!!)

Took me a long time to get back into it, but definitely back on track now. There's no way I would have continued until Christmas without that little break.

after two? what.

I meant I had a big thing the weekend after the wedding.

too early in the morning

Oh it's only day TWO and I'm already struggling! Am full of cold and tired and so want to go and fill my face with sweet and stodgy stuff, even though I know that won't help!

Got a Tesco shop of yummy low carb stuff coming tonight so hoping that will make me a bit more excited.

I'm not actually hungry, just looking for comfort. Ah well, off to do something else instead to pick me up a bit while DS sleeps (full of same cold, bless him)...

Oh - the crackers were not bad! I didn't season them, and definitely will next time, wanted to see what the natural flavour was. But they provided a decent Brie vehicle, so thanks! Going to make a lo carb cheesecake tonight with soft cheese, ground almonds, lemon and a little Splenda (not loads, don't like the taste much) and Greek chicken for my dinner tonight (Chicken breasts stuffed with feta) so at least my dinner menu is appealing!

How's everybody doing today?

Just had the best chicken and bacon salad for lunch... Nom nom nom.

(sorry, thought I'd share)

i have another thread but here goes

i have a box of 5 saCHETS of veg soup from lowcarbmegastore .com - was v. expensive.

i hate it

if anyone wants it?

Not for me thanks Custy (not a soup fan)

How's your LCing going btw?

its going really well thanks so far lost 34lbs just another 3/4 of a stone to go (hopefully before xmas so i can pig out a bit)

what about you?

34lb! Wow - am very impressed and a bit . I think you were on 22lb when I started.

I've lost a stone now - had a bad couple of weeks but properly back in induction now and have lost 5lb in the last week. I love this diet, it's amazing!

Going to stay on it until I've lost another stone, or it's Christmas. Whichever comes first

are you coming to mn xmas do?

I'll be at the MN do - will hopefully meet you this year! (I left a bit early last year)

great - where are you staying - or dya live closeish?

I'll be getting a cab home (or the tube, depending what time I leave). I live in SW London, so it's difficult to justify the cost of a hotel room really!

Well if no-one else wants the soup...

well i'll see you there them biwi.

sure katisha - do you still have my e-mail address? i'llneed your address again!

Custy - Have emailed you for my next red cross parcel

oh dont be embarrassed - i'm glad to get rid - don't thank me til you have tasted the foul stuff. prob wont get round to sending til saturday or early next week

hows your LCing going?

Cheers!
Well I have lost half a stone in the last three weeks or so. I was convinced that nothing was going to happen as I spent two or three weeks with nothing to show, and then all of a sudden the scales started going down.
I would like to get another stone off ideally.

well done you!

are you coming to the xmas do in London?

Ta! I was saying to biwi and imovethestars that I think the time of the month has an awful lot to do with it for me.

Christmas do - no I don't think so. I hack into London for work and don't really fancy going in again on a Sat night. I would have been more tempted to stay on if it was a weeknight but obv that's not great for most.

Hi there.

Wish I could go to the Christmas do, but unfortunately not. Would be quite scared to go in any case.. I'm better than I used to be, but have never been very confident with people I don't know.

Anyhoo...

AF week this week, so not expecting any loss at all. The need for toast is quite alarming!

OK well I've up and down like a yo-yo this week and am relieved to find on weigh-day that I have at least stayed the same as last week!

So no real movement.

6lbs down, woohoo! I do love induction AND I'm due on....

celebrating with a glass of wine. shh....

Well. I had a bit of a run in with a tin of Quality Street

So I haven't weighed in today.

Why do we do this to ourselves?!

Oi BIWI as I remember you were being STRICT about the chart last week!
What's with the no weighing??

Casserole -

I know, I know

I think I just got sick and tired of nothing moving on the scales. Totally stupid, as now I have surely guaranteed that they will be moving upwards!
