Kirsty's Atkins Diary
- Thread starter XxKirstxX
- Start date
Well that's me back to reality today! Had such a great time away yesterday with David. Diet wise I done not bad, missed out all the carbs at our meal I had mushroom soup to start (I even declined the bread! Woo me! lol), for the main meal we had a steak and instead of chips and onion rings I asked for a green salad and then for desert I had some handmade ice creams which I'm hoping doesn't contain too many carbs?? It's more the alcohol that I'm a bit worried about we had a bottle of wine with dinner, champagne in the room some vodka with coke zero and WKD (oh oh full of sugar!) but on a positive note I did do quite a bit of swimming (hoping it cancels out some of that alcohol lol). Anyways I am hoping to lose about 1lb on Tuesday. David has told me to expect a little loss to start with in the first couple of weeks and then the weight will fall off later on. Is this correct?
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends! How has everyone's weekends been?

Glad you enjoyed yourself - the exercise should help cancel the alcohol, i find weekends really difficult - you did really well all in all. Good luck on Tuesday!!
Thank you Shrinkingannie! Fingers crossed for Tuesday WI will be off to the gym tomorrow and Tuesday to burn off some more of that alcohol from the weekend...
Your weight loss is very consistant so far. 5lb in the first week! That's great! Im hoping for 1lb in my first week on Atkins. Am aiming low so as not to be disappointed lol.
How are you finding Atkins?

Day 6 - Saturday 10th October 09
Treat day for me. Me and David had a spa day/night at Airth Castle Hotel:
Lunch: babybels, pepperami, pork sausage things (100% pork)
Exercise: 30mins swim
Dinner: mushroom soup, ribeye steak with salad (half an onion ring), handmade ice creams with a little shortbread.
Alcohol: half bottle champagne in room before dinner, shared bottle of wine with dinner, some vodka and coke zero, some WKD.
Wasn't too bad diet wise I hope!

Wine, champagne & spirits with diet coke/coke zero are low carb or carb free so that wont have done too much damage, it just puts your fat burning on hold while your body burns the alcohol.
The mushroom soup probably had flour in as a thickener but hopefully not too much. Ice cream was probably the worst thing, as it's 25% sugar and lots of milk but you never know what the quantities were if it was handmade.
I think the most important thing is you had a good time
I've found the weight loss to be the other way around, big losses at first then it slows down to small steady losses as the diet goes on. I do think it has a lot to do with how much you have to lose as well. As you've only got a stone to lose you may find it falls off slower than someone who has 5 stone to lose for example.
Thanks honey! I didn't realise ice cream had 25% sugar lol I really shouldn't have had the dessert but David ordered a sticky toffee pudding and when the waitress asked me I found myself saying the handmade ice creams please lol I think the wine was kicking in by that point
he he. Anyways I had a wee swim when we got there so hopefully that will help...Babybels and pepperamis? Not sure if that was a good idea or not?? We went to Tesco beforehand for our alcohol and David was wanting snacks so instead of sweeties and crips I thought I'd better get some cheese and meat (probably processed but checked the carb count and wasn't too much) I find babybells good snacks. Are we allowed them in induction?
Roll on Tuesday Weigh In!!
