Hello, Kiwimel! I'm not a Brit either but I've been in London about the same amount of time as you! I'm an American but like you said, this thread is more relevant now! How are you doing with Atkins?

Not too bad - I also started on Monday, luckily with the support and participation of my partner. Had a few rough days on day 2 and 3 and must admit, the tension has a been a bit strained in our household at the moment but I think that's just withdrawls. Much better now! Just keen to see some results to keep myself motivated! |

Hi guys, Great to hear from you!  I fell off Atkins and gained 10lb which i'm horrified with! I am kicking back in with the good old Atkins on Monday. Part of me is dreading it as i'm loving my pasta and go ahead biscuits...but...the other part of me wants to feel in control again...and not constantly bloated.  I started to read threads on this site again a few days ago and felt a bit disheartened as I couldn't work out what some foods were and I was looking for UK people so i'm feeling happier now there are a few of us around!! My tummy tuck went really well by the way and I think it's the best thing I have ever done for myself! I feel so much better...but need to shift some weight now. Let me know how you are getting on and what foods you eat at lunch times. I was also getting fed up of omelettes every morning so need to have a search for ideas. Good luck to us all in 2009! x x x |

Oh...bring on Atlins!!!  I have really enjoyed my Sunday knowing it's the last carbolicious time i'm going to have. I ate all my lovely roasties with my lamb dinner then had a chocolate cheesecake afterwards. Of course, i've had a few glasses of rose wine too!  I have thoroughly enjoyed it....but now...I feel like ****! I am so bloated and tired...why do I do this to myself???  I just wish I didn't work full time as I want to read about everything I need to do on this site and work gets in the way!This site is vast!! I'll be asking lots of questions soon so I apologise in advance. Some of you guys on here are SO SO helpful and know ALL OF THE ANSWERS!! I'm so envious. x x x |

How are you getting on today Welsh Kaz? Hope your feeling better? I had a bit of a slip yesterday but have picked myself back up again. I'm quite lucky that I can do that as I know plenty who dont just fall of the wagon but they crash it down a 300 m cliff as well! Had the most boring day for food today: Cheese for brekkie (was running really late for work) Lunch was a piece of chicken and some salad So looking forward to some tacoless tacos tonight as a treat. Was hoping that a few others might give some inspirational ideas for dinners as I am a full time worker also and quite often come here for an idea or 2 to pick up on my way home. |

Hi kiwimel! I've stuck rigid to it today and am missing the 'bad' food so much...but it is not good for me!!! Breakfast was a mushroom and cheese omelette. Lunch was those Brat thingy sausages from Aldi that somebody suggested on here with salad. They were gorgeous. See, I wouldn't have known about them if it wasn't for this site. Tea was steak with buttered cabbage. I really wish I had more time to read the book and go over this site more as I have forgotten so much! Don't know what tacoless tacos are?? I'm ok to have a cheesestring aren't I?? Good luck with your week  Speak soon xx |

I managed to buy spaghetti squash in the autumn in Waitrose last year - the first time I have seen it for several years.
