TWINKLE Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 [quote user="Alexis"]Thank you. He seems to be doing very well.A hula hoop sounds just the thing. I had one too. Bit of washing line and my "gym" will be complete!Don't think I am being good about the booze. Just not on it at the moment. It isn't a deadly sin on Atkins so I could have a drink if I fancied.[/quote]Hi AlexisI started Atkins last Sunday and because of my work and friends visiting I've had lots of wine plus quite a bit of vodka this week but after weighing this morning, I've still managed to drop 2 kilos! I'm getting bored of the meat and cheese though and am craving chocolate so bad![:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Argh! Don't mention chocolate...you will start us all off again!You will have to make up a menu for the week so you don't eat meat too many times. I eat quite a lot of fish. Salmon in créme fraîche is a real favourite and I'm having it for lunch today.Cheese I don't eat...bleaugh.When I am visiting the CHU, I take a salad with me. Been chicken for the past couple of days but ham, tuna, prawns go down well. I cook something when I get in...if I can be bothered. I have been eating up those individual portions from the freezer I couldn't bring myself to throw away.Still not opened a bottle of anything but white wine is one point which is nothing[B] Except, of course, booze is banned for the first two weeks so go straight to the Naughty Corner.Oh! It is looking a bit full over there...[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I gave in last night because "somebody" upset me, and I ate 2 tubes of my daughters smarties that I bought for her birthday party! But I'm just back from my hour & a quarter of circuit training so hopefully ...Thanks Alexis for the Salmon recette, I do tend to eat rather a lot of meat on this diet, does it make you irritable? As for the cheating with the alcohol, well it's still working for me but i'm definitely keeping off it 'til Saurday. Ok, I'm going back to the naughty corner now - AGAIN[B][pi] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I like meat. Maybe it is because you are on a d*** that you are cross!Sometimes I have meat twice a day. Sometimes three or four times a week. Whatever, I plan the week. I like to know what I'm having so it is in the fridge ... ready. Then temptation is kept at bay.How did you do your salmon? I sweat off a shallot, add diced salmon - quite big chunks - and once it is nearly cooked, salt, pepper and créme fraîche. It takes five minutes."Other" people in the house can have it with pasta without moaning too much[;)] I always say I will have it with a vegetable but I nearly always don't.I like smarties but I like chocolate buttons much, much more.

Russethouse Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I hardly ever eat meat, its usually Chicken or fish, often a simple grill in the George Foreman - quick & tasty!Ok - I'm back - haven't worked out how to do my ticker yet but I want to lose 20lbs - my sister has booked her wedding for 24th Sept at Raymond Blancs Le Manoir - I can hardly look a frump there now can I ?

Alexis Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Walker? Aren't they crisps?Since when has chicken not been a meat?When I have a ham salad, I class the ham as a meat...what else can you call it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Don't know about ham - I don't eat much of it, but I class chicken as poultry or fowl. Personally, if I refer to meat I mean beef, lamb or pork.Why did you mention meat - made me think of steak & kidney now [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have booked a table at a nice place in St Yrieuix. English owners and they are doing (by request of friends - not me you understand - I just go with the flow) - steak & kidney pudding and apple crumble with homemade custard.Got myself a pedometer from Go Sport a couple of weeks ago - only 10 Euros. Now that I've worked out my step length it was good to go for a nice walk around the lake at Rouffiac. It was 7.67km, took 10,820 steps and I burnt off 420 calories (according to the pedo). Did I ache the next day!!!Hope everyone else is doing well.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I would have done a lot better if I hadn't had a bread making day yesterday. Honestly, I only ate two little bits to compare different recipes.....Can I use yesterday's weight? No? Oh, all right then....So. Minus 400g. I'm sulking.I'm off to the hospital now but I will check out all the outstanding weight losses tonight. Will be the first thing I do...after I've fed the cat, of course.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 So much for wanting to lose 2lb this week - I've put ON a pound. My diet over the past few weeks has not been going well: +1lb / - half lb / 0 / +1lb. I need to re-focus - at one point I was 9lb down overall but that has now slipped to 7 and a half pounds, and I was so close (1/2 lb) to breaking that stone barrier too.[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/][img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;10732;78;0;1/c/184/t/165/s/191.5/k/bc55/weight.png[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Completely focused and have been so good, also no alcohol but no change. Not giving up though and even sticking to diet over weekend,perhaps half a stone will drop off in one go. Hope its not a leg I bought a stepper and knees are killing me.Strange thing is I dont miss the alcohol so will take advantage of that.Hope all going well at the hospital Alexis and well done 400g is still good.Heard my first cuckoo this morning, got to think of summer and bikini.

Suze01 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Well done Gay, I 'only' managed 3 in the 1st week.To do a ticker go to tickerfactory.com and follow the instructions. When you have finished making it you get a choice of different web addresses for it - use the one called BB Code, highlight it all and press Control and 'c' then on your post here do Control 'V' - it should appear when you preview the message.

Afy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I am up 4 Kgs... back on Atkins. I suspect its all the bread I eat.... I love hot toast with butter and marmite. Its like crack cocaine for me... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Having been pleased with my first weeks loss I had far too much wine over the weekend, and having had 'one of those days ' my dinner was a marmite sandwich today too.[:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm feeling very pleased with myself! 7 lbs lost over 16 days, this includes drinking too much wine & vodka on Atkins in the first week. However i've taken a break from Atkins and the alcohol and am eating small quantities frequently and drinking at least 3 huge mugs of green tea every day. I've given myself a goal of another 7 lbs over the next 2 weeks. I'd like to do a ticker too, anyone like to help me and Russethouse make one?

Must have been the Mars Bar I had in a moment of stress. Oh .... and the wine. I really do have to stop making excuses and caving in everytime something happens.Hope every one else has better luck this week.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I don't know where the time goes.So. Lost a kilo this week so my total for the three months is 9.9kg. 13cm off my waist. 12cm off my hips.I was laid in bed the other night, thinking, as you do...and I thought that if I had eaten so little twenty years ago, I would weigh about six stone. If you counted up the calories I was under 1000....except for MAYONNAISE all that has stopped now and I have bought a light dressing. Got to hide the taste of the lettuce somehow and my normal vinaigrette is high in calories too.So, I am on a Atkins influenced calorie diet now. Well, Atkins without the mayo, really. We will see how it goes. Oh. Eating more fruit.One thing though, I am determined to continue which must be a record. Just seems so long! Still, it took thirty odd years to get this fat but with luck, six months to lose it, so I suppose it isn't that bad.Chunter chunter chunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear I have put on again this week - I will weigh-in and update this post soon. My problem is lack of w-p, feeling a bit low and a few health problems - this last month I've been on some medication that is highly likely going to make you gain a kilo or so (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). The last few weeks have been a disaster diet -wise : I've been having a few glasses of wine and too many carbs. My tummy is really flabby again - I was in my pool yesterday afternoon, chilling & floating about on my li-lo and thought jeez, I look like a beached whale! Today, I am going back on the wagon, after all I managed it for 6 weeks at the beginning of the year, and I must resist those carbs. If I can do those two small things and can get back on track again then the pounds will start to fall off as they did before.Sorry to waffle but I needed to write it down - you know how it works.Edit:Yep - as thought (though not as bad as) I've put on half a pound [:(][url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/][img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;10732;78;0;1/c/184.5/t/165/s/191.5/k/94a8/weight.png[/img][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
