Morning all, mazzers good idea - I might chill too. Had a bowl of muesli yesterday to try and boost my loss, used to love it but not so keen now.If you only had two eggs all day then maybe I am eating too much to lose weight!

GTG How are you taking the coconut oil? I find it best to put it in a cup with a little water and swallow it quickly. Haven't personally had headache but I did get nauseous to begin with. Thanks for the recipes.

Oh thats just me making excuses for why i was so drunk (drinking on an empty stomach)

I tend to not eat enough when i'm working but i dont lose any more weight though so dont bother!
I didnt even lose when i tried the intermittent fasting.

I think i should eat more, but keep it very lc.
I was supposed to be doing induction again but that never materialised
I felt very slim last night though, no big belly, so i looked slim-ish too

I wanted my son to take some pics while i was all dolled up :rotfl: but he went out.

I seem to be posting on here quite frequently at the moment:o I'll blame it on me being a student, being at home and being online a lot due to ebaying my wardrobe!!

I'm facing a low carb dilemma. I did a verry silly thing of weighing myself and I haven't shifted any more weight this week.

I know my official 2 week deadline is tuesday but surely I won't lose another 2-4lbs by then if its because of the syrup in the coffee or the chickpeas in the curry the other day?!

Its really demotivating and I know when I go round to my sisters tonight there is going to be brownies and cream and I am going to think "!!!! it, I haven't lost any more weight I may as well have some, enjoy it and start the induction over again...."

Its so tempting.

I still have 12lbs I want to lose before I move onto OWL and I want to shift that by the end of the month, if thats at all possible...

I could do with your support guys on this because I'm mad that my hard work isn't showing and I really want it to...

I know you all have days like this and it could be water retention/ too much caffein and the like..... hmmm

*sigh*

definitely doing a meal plan for the next 2 weeks and walking lots oh and drinking galleons!

Soton, its probably a bit late now, and you've more than likely got a chocolatey face, but keep up the good work, i told you all not to weigh so often now didnt i? *points finger accusingly * :rolleyes:

You may not have lost actual weight, but you will have lost fat, the scales dont always show it coz the empty fat cells fill with fluid and give a false weight.

If you measured yourself, you will most likely have lost inches, so dont despair, and dont give up.

Sunnyday

Evening all :wave:

Happy Birthday Focus - Hope your day was fab! :bdaycake:

Today i have been recovering from a few drinkies last night, was good most of the night and only drank a few voddies but gave in at last orders and had a pint of lager as well probably the worst thing that i could have but it was warm and sticky and the freezing pint really hit the spot.
No regrets tho, i`ve been really good lately so it was my treat.

Today brekkie was bacon, egg, sausage and tomato.

Dinner was the lc lasagne and tea was sausages chicken and cheese, had a snack of salami earlier and a bit of cheese too.

I`ve been at work all day and can`t really be bothered with anything atm but i`ve managed to drag some more chicken out of the freezer to cook tomorrow and that will see me through a few more days for dinner.

I'm still very happy with the diet but have to admit I;m in some sort of plateau moving 2lbs up and down consistently for the past 3 weeks or so.

Yesterday
B/L yog-froz berries-protein powder
D - spicy meatballs - cauliflower mash
Snack - spicy chick peas - small glass red wine (about 3 mouthfulls)

oh drat - forgot about Starbucks, I got some sort of cold coffee thing, was trying to remember the low carb concoction I saw on here.

Oh and I invented the lowcarbaccino is you can't give up Starbucks - ask for an iced Americano to be blended with ice and sugar-free hazelnut(or vanilla) and top with whipped cream! Yummy!!! Make sure they don't add the espresso mix though as that has added sugar.

I tried this yesterday and the server couldn't make it she tried twice but it wouldn;t blend and just kept separating. She ended up making something with frap base I think.

thanks for all the birthday wishes, ive totally been off the low carb wagon for the past 5 days but im going to be good again from tomo. induction again for me. This time i wont have another excuse to come off the wagon again for a long while. Dare not look at the scales, gonna ban myself from them until sunday so i dont get a big nasty shock.

hope everyone else is doing good x
