Welcome clanger!! :wavey:

sorry - I didn't see your post! Welcome, altho I am a novice who doesn't have a clue and is finding my way round by asking and trying to read up as much as I can!!

How are you doing? ARe you doing a diary? Hopefully we can support each other although the board seems a very friendly and very welcoming place to be!!

Good luck!!

Hi Dawn well done on the loss, great start

I'm finding it ok, weekends are normally my downfall but i stuck to the eating plan religiously so im hoping the scales will register a loss when i weigh in tomorrow morning.

I'm greedy and have 2 diaries, 1 in the general weight loss section & 1 in the atkins section

 

[dizzydawnie]

Good luck with the weigh in - how did you get on!

I will look for your diaries and follow

Monday 13 Feb

Got a hangover the size of America - unexpected visitors and 4 bottles of wine later, and the blokes only had 1 glass each
But at least I didn't eat anything I shouldn't!!


B - bacon and fried eggs (that broke again!!)

L - chicken breast wrapped in bacon with cheese (was a Tesco one and the pack says 0.4g so that will do!!) 100g broccoli/cauli (2.5), SF jelly and squirty cream (2)

Hi DD, well done resisting the temptation - for food anyway. Get plenty of water down you

 

[KensyLo]

yes ^ water helps a great deal. if not directly, it's definitely beneficial while dieting. i keep a bottle. easy and i can keep track.
