Thx i do, tum a bit gurggly though. Will stick to jelly. Lol

Don't blame u. I thought being careful at a Chinese takeaway would be ok. Sadly not as it chucked me out of ketosis and I feel puffy, moody and irritable ( no change there then, until I started Atkins!!!!). Lesson definitely learned today xx

Morning.
Feeling low again today. Didnt make it to the 12zone
Getting fed up now as its been nearly 4 weeks and i havent lost a bit.i have put on between 1 and 4 pounds and lost that but never yet have i got below my start weight.
Its getting desperate now as i should have lost 2 stone for my forthcoming operation, well that aint happening.
I am tempted to go back to shakes but reallt i dont want to and cant afford to.
Aaaagghhh!!!

Morning Julz, I'm a bit baffled by this. Can you post in detail what you are eating daily.

 

[rosebug]

Baffled too, Julz but - you almost had a high carb chocolate pudding last night that would have knocked you right out of ketosis. You had chocolate mousse last week that would have done the same. I think you said you'd been having full sugar mints every couple of days (might have been someone else) and if you've had any other non legal treats unfortunately that will be the reason you're not losing. You have to get yourself right off sugar. I know it's tough because on other diets you can cheat a little and compensate by eating less on other days but you really can't on Atkins. Read the sticky on cheating by Jim, I find it really helpful. Good luck hon, sorry you're having such a struggle.

Hi Julz, hope you've had a good monday

Hi,
Well a wee update this evening. Been ok although needing to drink a bit more.
Breakfast was only fried eggs and bacon with half a mim.
Lunch was pityful, it was a bag of scratchings and i didnt finish as started feeling sick.
When I got in i finished some cold chilli mince while my dinner was cooking.
Just finished my dinner of half a small roast chicken(and it was pretty small) and some broccoli with a dessert spoon of mayo.
No mints or extras. Fingers crossed I can eat likr this and start to see some results.

I'm afraid I just end up rambling at people on long train journeys, I do it in my own diary, too. Keeping at it is always the main thing and today's menu looks great.

Morning Julz

 

[RachieB]

Morning Julz. How r u today? Ur menu for today sounds really tasty. Hope u enjoy xx

 

[julz4gbr]

Feel better today and being more positive. Sitting in ansruther by the harbour waiting to get into my appoint. Have one of those sore throats that are there but not sore if you get my drift. Funny watching people waiting for the chippy to open. Desperate or what?
So mild today i have no coat on what a rebel. Lol
Wish it was lunch time as getting hungry now.
Hope you all have a good day.
