Sunnyday

Hi peeps,

nothing much to report really, had my bacon & eggs earlier but never got around to my curry last night as i just wasn`t hungry, i whacked it in the freezer but wish that i hadn`t really as i quite fancy it now - maybe it will get nuked later.

Mazzers - Have a great holiday!

G&B - ((((HUGS)))) for your DD

Marrow / Ravylesley - Well done on both your losses :j

I shall hop on the scales in the morning i think.

Have a good afternoon peeps.

Thanks folks, i'm too excited to sleep but going to try anyway or i'll be wilting by tonight.

Cant believe i've actually got more washing.. again!!
They're like a couple of girls honestly.

Gers, i love time team too, soo relaxing.

Sweet, if you paid attention to my posts :rolleyes: you'd know that i said a great way to poach eggs is in a non stick frying pan, wait til the water is almost bubbling, carefully crack in eggs, then spoon over the bubbling water til cooked, viola' perfect every time, i use a dash of vinegar too g&b. Fingers crossed the op goes well, it must be awful for you as sweet said.

OMG, I cannot believe there's a place on here for low carbers and I've been using this site for agggeess. Can I join? Please?

I'm just going into my seventh week doing Atkins. To date I've lost over a stone, and I can get into a size smaller clothes. I have stopped weighing myself for now though, because the weightloss does slow down as time gets on, and I find it very unmotivating (is that a word?!), when I weigh myself and its a very small loss. I do feel much, much better though and I know that I am losing it in inches so am quite happy. I have got a lot to lose though, (ideally at least another 7 stone), so I am in this for the long haul. Therefore if I want a small treat, (ie, last night I had half a wispa), then I have it. I can't say that I will never eat another slice of bread in my life or another chip. Whilst not for everybody, this way of thinking (as well as eating), seems to be working for me.

I made a lc chocolate mousse today and its in the fridge as I type. Really good and only 4 carbs a portion. I have also found that that very, very dark chocolate (80% cocoa or something), has been my saviour. Two pieces of that and generally I am satisfied.

Well thats a bit about me anyway. Can somebody tell me how I can bookmark this page or something please, as I doubt I will ever be able to find it again if I don't!!!

Now we don't hear that very often!! Mazzers unable to sleep?! :rotfl:

Make them wash their own stuff!! If you don't, you'll come back to a huge pile of their stinking clothes & then you'll want to walk straight back out the door!!

Sweet, if you paid attention to my posts :rolleyes: you'd know that i said a great way to poach eggs is in a non stick frying pan

Dammit, you got me that time!! :rolleyes: Yes, now you mention it, I do remember you saying that!!

Well, if you happen to sign in before you fly off to sunnier climes, I'll say again Happy Holidays mazzers!!

Hi Claire, yes you are welcome to join this thread Don't know how to bookmark, I usually just look at the Health, Beauty & Fashion board & we tend to be on the 1st page Occasionally we slip to page 2, but not very often :rolleyes:

You have done brilliantly so far - weight loss is a fantastic boost but losing inches & dropping a dress size is fantastic!!

I'm a general low-carb peep, just restarted on Monday but been on the thread since January There's a mix of Atkins, Dr. Dalquist & general low-carbers on here though.

Check out page 1 links if you haven't already, there's some good info & recipes on there.

Good luck & hope to see you back here soon.

Have been watching what I eat for the last couple of weeks and got rid of the cravings for sugar and crisps. Really struggle trying to think up different meals. Did the low carb a few years ago but have thrown out the book that I used. Bought an atkins cookery book but don't fancy many of the meals. I am not a very good cook so like simple things. Can anyone recommend a web site that will give me low carb versions of things like fish pies and soups.

Crikey, newcook, are you sure you can't think of any more carbs!! You are gonna have major carb-crash next week!! :rotfl:

lol!!! unfortunately I hate to waste food (and my bum proves it!!) so I would rather eat it all up than throw it away - even if its a potato or 2!!!!

I ended up at the chippy and had mini fish and chips with mushy peas (I have chinese curry sauce in my cupboards so made some when I got home!) and today I have had beans on toast for brunch and made a vegetable pie for tea. I made the type that has the veggies in a cheese sauce with mashed potato on top! mmm!!!!
it also means I have extra room in my freezer for meat now I have used up my veg! (I only have a tiny freezer)

claire - now you have posted it will be listed in your subscribed threads located in the quick link at the top of the page!!
