    Hi dobie, someone else will prob give you a better answer, but my take on it is that you need supplements and if you're on the IPD you are prob allowwed more carbs than some of us here (not more than me last week tho :o)

    I think some people in the know, have their higher carb foods before excercise so that it gives them energy and is then its burned off.

    I find my energy is zapped on LC, but some find it gives them more energy :confused:

    As leslie said tho, its worth it for the weight loss.

    Right, the dawn of a new day, as they say, (and its a wet one here)

    Back to the lc way of life.

    Strangely, since i've been carb guzzling my boobs have felt like lead, really heavy and painful and totm isn't due, i wonder if its purely fluid retention :confused:

    Off to work now, so see y'all later.

    I dont like the sound of that food creep :D
    ( i didnt even find that funny til alias pointed it out):rotfl:


    Hey suzy, where you off to?
    I'm going to Benalmedena for a girly holiday.

    Its been 15 weeks and about 15lbs, got almost another 15 weeks to go, and another stone would be fantastic, and is certainly do-able.

    Oh, and will i never learn, i've got another very sore plook on my inner thigh.
    Just thought i'd keep you all informed.:D

    I have no idea why but I found the food creep thing hilarious. :confused: So much so that I nearly came back just to laugh at it again. :rotfl: She said it in such a serious way, I could almost see her nodding and folding her arms whilst she was saying it. :D

    Oh and btw......:rolleyes: what was that you were saying about not getting out much / having no life? :p I am sooooo gonna spend hours one day just copying and pasting all your 'I'm going to....' comments from every post you've ever made. :rotfl:

    Also.....leave the plook alone or put a plaster over it with savlon. Inner thigh plooks are work of the Devil. :D You pick at that, you'll have a mini red mountain on your leg for a month! :rotfl:Speaking as one who knows. :o

    Anyway...now I've picked on maz......morning to everyone else. :rotfl:

    Sweet, with the amount of walking you do girl, you probably could have landed in somewhere exciting by now if you'd just kept going. :rotfl:

    Hi appletart and dobie....*waves*. The muscle thing should pass after a while but as mazzers says, supplements are important and you should consider trying them if you dont already.

    Today will be another washout....daughter is still sick. She cant even keep water down and in this weather, that's slightly worrying (because of dehydration I mean). She's also a stick insect so hasn't got much to play with. :rolleyes: I suspect I'll be zombified by the time she's better. Wish us all luck.:rotfl:

    See you all later.

    Malaga in Spain. *insert jealous sweary words* :rolleyes:

    I'm gonna start shoving my fingers in my ears and singing 'la la la cant hear you' the next time that flipping Maz even tries to do the 'I dont go anywhere' thing again.

    Tell her sweet. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:





    Ps.....I hope you have a bloody good time and pull a waiter or a barman at the very least. I'm told some of them are extremely good looking. ;):D
