Oh no worries, I know what you mean as I read that all the time on people's diaries that they find it hard getting the water down. I don't funnily enough, I love it and kind of get antsy if I'm away from Home because I can't drink too much on the go as I hate having to use public loos. I do make room for coffee though....and love Starbucks and pret 
hate to add the carbs but a,ways opt for soya. Could take my own cream though???

Morning all,
Back to 10.6 this morning however went to bed hungry and awoke hungry so cutting down is working but not entirely enjoyable.
once my food shopping arrives il be able to pace things out better with the clean and green stuff so won't have to go hungry. Will find it hard to cut back in cheese but knocking cream on the head is a synch since I started drinking soya cream instead. I don't drink alcohol (long story but childhood put me off) plus have a phobia of sick ewwww.
if I keep this up I should see some more movement on scales, I'm determined Nd have upped my exercise routine slightly. Not too much that it puts me off but enough to get the heart rate right up and the sweat to pour which is slightly euphoric and great for relieving my stress.
Anyhoo yesterday was a first for me in years....only had 3-4 coffees compared to an easy 6-10 depending on my day. I'm drinking tea instead sometimes just so I have something warm in my hand as drinking so much water makes me freezing some times. I find carrying a hot water bottle around with me such a delight
Will be back on later to update my menu for today and hope you all have a lovely day, yesterday was grand and the view from outback was beautiful.

2 egg omelette with small red onion shared between two and 2 cherry toms.

Morning - you may find after a couple of weeks your hunger goes away at least it did with me and for days couldn't eat anything much at all.
Also good news on the Nespresso- I have emailed them (yes I'm one of them). I thought coffee had no calories or carbs and sometimes mfp info is wrong. They have confirmed that there are no calories or carbs in their capsules only any extras that you add in. So drink up
Had the best mocha latte ever yesterday from my machine but today frother isn't working About to call then to see what the problem is. Apparently if you have to send machine back for repairs, they give you one on loan. Yippee.
Here is part of the email:
I can confim that as we do not consume coffee directly but the extract diluted in water and coffee does not contain carbohydrates there is very little energy intake from coffee, when consumed without sugar or milk.

Coffee lover Val?
i wish I could double like your post! Whoop whoop...funnily enough on the boxes it says no carbs but because I liked them so much I believed mfp
that is super good news and I can not wait to place another order of my favs appregios i didn't know they loaned you one? That's good because mine keeps leaking and I an nt work it why. I have the latissimo premium it was about £450 and I am a but gutted its been leaking so soon After buying. We should meet up for a coffee some day
a proper strong and creamy one..thanks for making my day with the terrific news on the nespressos.

Morning everyone,
woke up early weighed in at 10.6 on the nose again. Why is it not budging? I'm tempted to go back to cd to get this last stone and half off before coming back to Atkins to maintain. I seem to be maintaining now just not at the weight I want. Help!!!!
It's been just over a month now of the same fluctuations between 10.6 and 10.8 and back again.
I am drinking around 4-5 litres water Alone per day no problems and enjoy it. I drink soya cream in coffee because its less calories same carbs as double cream per 100ml.
i eat approx 30-40g cheese per day spread out in snacks, may even be less.
what am I doing wrong?
typical day is
B 2 slices bacon, 2 m&s sausages 0.6 carbs per 100g from a 400g pack, handful mushrooms ie 3-4 tablespoons cooked, tablespoon mayo heaped
L is usually made up of snacks from pepperami minis, finger of cheese, mim slice or two with butter
D is either chicken breast, spring greens half pack m&s 3.6 carbs half pack, 3-4 sprouts tablespoon mayo
S usually 2 tablespoon extra thick double cream mixed with 1 tsp stevia, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tsp orange flavouring from Asda baking isle.
Or choc/coconut bark made from the above but with 4 tbs coconut oil and double amount of sweetener
I do however drink around 3-6 coffees per day with Soya creAm in each.
any advice?

Can you add more green veg? Jim will shake his veg stick at you lol. Broccoli, cauliflower rice, courgettes - all low carb and filling.
good news about the coffee. I noticed MFP adding 6 cals per cup but I drink it black without sweetener so decided to simply not log it

Yes the veg is good and fills you up. Thought of Jim shaking a celery stick lol. Cauliflower rice is really good in a stir fry.
Also watch the peperami type things they have a lot of sodium I think?
Yes definitely call nespresso, they're so helpful it shouldn't be leaking and they will fix it or replace it. Would be fun to meet up for a coffee.

Lisa, Val, I can see Jim shaking his veg stalks at me lol...yes I will up my veg intake. I've tried the cauli mash and rice, it's ok just never fancy it but will make a curry so have to make some cauli to go with it are sprouts and green beans ok? I'm not a fan of courgette. Love broccoli, spring greens. I keep buying bags of salad and end up having to sneak half in to the bin behind oh back because they go off so quickly .
Il keep an eye on my deli meats intake, it's just that they are so easy to pick at and taste delish with coffee.
I will get on to nespresso and see what they an do with my machine

I found on Atkins that I was one of those people for whom cheese and cream was a staller - and mayo - which I loved!
Try going without it for a couple of days and see if that makes any difference x

I will and see what happens. I also swapped double cream for soya cream, it's doable. I think my body is dead comfy at this weight and so it's starting to fight me.....grrrrr I will win!
