I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks last year when I tried it before going on holiday. I quit because i only did it to get down before going away. I've started it again last week and lost 10lb so far, (I was 154lbs).

I had about 3 beers over the weekend of my first week of atkins/low carb :S oops although it is no doubt soooo bad for low carb diet I still lost lb's and went right back to the diet after that little indulgence. I don't think you would continue to loose lb's for that day or two, but you wouldn't be depriving yourself so…

Have a look at cheese crisps (chips if you're from the US). If you type cheese crisps/chips into google there's loads of recipes, you just grate cheese and arrange them like cookies on parchment paper (add any spices you'd like) and bake in the oven. Once cooled they are like crisp texture. I haven't tried them yet but I…

So glad you are inspired tjolenee. My problem was that I LOVE carbs, pasta potato bread mmmmm. I like them too much that I sometimes over indulge or am always tempted. Of course, it is a lifestyle change, but all diets are, you cant expect to do any diet and stay at that weight when you return to eating how you did before.…

I did low carb (around 20g a day) for 2 weeks before going on holiday last year and lost 14lb in those two weeks. It took me a good 2 or 3 months to put that back on after binging on holiday and going back to terrible eating habbits of pizza take aways etc. I started counting calories and reducing portion sizes and eating…

Keep up with it, building muscle may…

Hi Julie, I can relate to your post, my problem is more once I start drinking it turns into drinking a couple of glasses of wine a day and I end up getting through so many bottles a week, which is hard to stop. Don't beat yourself up about it - one bad day is not a big deal! I used to beat myself up about having a drink…

Secret eating? (not admitting to that slice of cake after a healthy dinner etc) From personal experience, I have told people I am 'dieting' having not really fully committed, and I haven't lost any weight for that amount of time. This has been down to; too much wine (no calorie count on the bottle means no calories? haha),…

I used to talk about the diets I was on all the time to friends and family, but at a size 10/12 and 5 foot 9 I used to get 'oh but you don't need to loose weight, don't be silly' I tend to not mention my diet very much at all now because of that. I do think it is important to keep your other half in the loop though. If I…

I'm currently doing ripped in 30, I'm on day 3 of week 3. OH MY GOD, week 3 is hard! I did try 30 day shred a few months ago, but I just couldn't get into it :/ I'm not sure if maybe I wasn't doing it properly because of being unmotivated with it, but I didn't ache like I do the next day with RI30.
