Low-carb diets support thread

Boozer

Hello again all, i have now been back to work for a week and back low carbing it, i had 3 weeks off and was back in Scotland, did not give the diet a single thought, was pizzas, chinese, kebabs and lager, managed to put on 2Kg in the 3 weeks so i am still happy.

I am actually very motivated by this now, i used to do bursts at the gym which i would not see results fast so i would just quit again, but with losing 6Kg in 5 weeks while at work last time i know it can be done and it is worth it.

Started about 10 weeks ago now, break of 3 in the middle and have come from 88.2Kg to 83.2Kg today, still classed as overweight on those stupid charts at the doctors, but getting there and if all goes well i may make the OK bracket within the next couple of months.

Good luck to all who are LCing and as i have learnt, it gains momentum after a while, dont be put off if you have not lost too much after a couple of weeks, i was getting a bit miffed with it after my first 3 weeks and small loss, but huge surprise after 5 weeks.

Morning all :hello:

Mercy, you are a complete lovely nutter!! You should be in the Land of Nod by now!! Sounds like you had a great time, tis lovely to get together with family & eat mugs of peas & chocolate buns!!

I have just eaten a huge breakfast so am feeling very full & contented, should keep me going for a while.

B - fried egg & huge portion of bubble & squeak (without egg to bind cos it looked a bit sloppy )
L - 2 crackers with butter & cheese, garlic sausage
D - roast chicken, cauliflower cheese/cheesy leeks combo

Mercy, funny you should say about mazzers maybe not eating enough veg as I've been thinking that I don't either. I eat tonnes of cauli mash but not a great deal/variety of anything else. I know I put loads of different veg in the chilli/curry, but if you divide it up between 8 portions, it's not enough.
Also think my red meat intake is a bit high as well, so going to try & add more chicken and fish to my menus.
Anyone know how much red meat we should be eating per week on low-carb??

Welcome back Boozer, good for you getting back into low-carb straightaway.

mazzers, fess up, how many more chocs jumped from the box into your mouth?! Shame on you, missus!! :p

Right, off to make DD2 a cheese omelette, see you all later :wave:

Went straight to bed after work, (and my chocs) and slept too long, so i was up til 4am :rolleyes:

I bought lots of nice booze for crimble yesterday and son and gf were fancying it :rolleyes:
Told em to open one or two, but they refrained, which i'm glad about coz i was really fancying some shots
They did glug a small botle of JD between them tho (on top of cider) and i didnt indulge so :T to me


Chicken in roasting, sick of scrambled eggs, want some toast, bought uncut bread and its winking at me.
Gonna try to be strong as i need to lose a few lbs for the 21st.

Hi folks

Just popped in - got back from my week up north (wet every day but fabulous never the less) and before I go off for 4 days for work.

Hols brought a load of booze and then, right at the end, some sinful carbs so not so good, but I don't care!! :o Had a great time and a few friends popped in to stay at the cottage with me. Mine hosts were wonderful as usual and I came home with some game :j for the freezer.

An interlude in my WOE but not too much... and so, onward and downward!

Haven't read the missing bits cos have to get myself organised for work, washing and sleeping but I hope that everyone is well and doing a grand job.

Back Thursday evening/Friday afternoon. Cheers to everyone.
