[Artzy]

just started atkins diet but just wanna know how much chicken and meat am allowed in a day.

Here's a link to the atkins diet - go careful on it tho' when I went on it I felt really ill and many doctors have said it doesn't follow health guidelines - sorry to be boring and of course what suits one person doesn't suit another.

This is a great site and there's lot of info about all kinds of ways to lose weight if ur interested. Keep posting and u'll get lots of support.

Hi! Newbie here.joint slimming world last month and every time I google a recipe or advice minimins always comes up so thought I'd join (although not sure of my way round yet!!!). First time I've ever properly tried to follow a weigh loss plan/group so will see how I get on.

Hi and welcome - this is a great site - agree it does take a little while to get used to it - but it's full of lovely ppl and lots of support, info and fun!

I think SW is a great healthy way to lose weight with lots of food choices - it takes a bit of getting used to - but keep posting any questions and u'll get the answers and of course ur consultant will be happy to help!

The food diaries are well worth a read - I've found lots of nice food/recipes and ways to make SW work for me - good luck!

Really upset, I've. Put 2lbs on this week. Was really on it all week, even went to the gym twice!

Oh no - that's horrible - our bodies don't always do what we expect - cd it be water retention - it's a *%!^$! nuisance - don't do what I've done so many times and have a binge - try to stay on track and ur bound to have a good loss next week - keep posting if u need support - good luck this week!

 

[1Artzy]

Thanks, had a good day today. I know it happens from time to time just frustrating when it does! Going for double loss next week to make up for it!

Like ur attitude - when the scales shock me I often go into binge mode - stupid I know!

 

[Artzy]

Didn't go into binge mode. Just bought a new car instead ;-) Still being good too x

Hi all,

I'm new on the Cambridge Plan. Starting tomorrow and looking to it.

I currently weigh 98kg and want to lose about 20kg.

To honest I've tries Cambridge in the past but didn't last more than 4 days each time. however this time, I'm determined to stick to my goal and wont be derailed. In the past I've tried Cambridge on my own without support but the stories I read on this forum are super inspiring that's why I decided to join.

Wish me luck as I proceed on this journey to self restoration

Well done! I really struggled at first getting my head round it. The healthy extras were the thing that confused me. Since I started posting on here and reading the threads I've found it has helped me focus more! Keep going, keep posting and asking questions!
