Low-carb diets support thread

sarahs999

Well I'm still here, and my belt went in a notch this morning (out again this afternoon though, lol). Am focused again as the consultant has told me I do need to lose some weight to increase my chances of having a second baby, so that's me with no get out clause!
Am trying to be under 12 stone by Christmas. Am 12.12 today. Seems doable, right?

Although I read the thread most days and have found recipes helpful I don't post too often. Will add more often to make sure thread carries on. To date have lost about one and half stone but have long way to go. Hoping that I can make it right down this time and stay there. Am at an age now where my health could suffer from being too overweight. Diabetes and poor joints are affecting some friends of my age who are also heavy. Having difficult time at work just now so not sleeping too well so thread helps keep me focused.

B Bolied Eggs
L Mackeral Salad
D LC Pizza

You have lost 1.5 stone! Well done! Glad the thread helps you too, does wonders for me

Just had the most trying day at work :mad: You know, where so many things go wrong - and nobody knows how it happened? :whistle: :wall: my team then has to work it out and fix it. Not always easy. One of these occurrancies a day (we maybe get 2 a week, on a bad week) can be easily run alongside regular work but 2+ just today and being low in staff simply = mashed heads and backlog!

Had a moment around 3pm when my brain turned to swiss cheese (full of holes) and I simply could not hold a thought. :eek: I was not alone in this and team just sat around for a few minutes, talking carp. Normally we are quite mobile and talking carp :rotfl:

However, a relaxing, and indeed bracing, brandy seems to have put me back in weekend mode! :j I wouldn't normally hit the booze cupboard before tea but I was in extremis and it seems to have had the desired effect

Yay! I can enjoy the weekend! And I will :rotfl:

Dobie we had a sale in work for Think Pink, I managed to avoid successfully and people would not have believed that was possible. The way I find works for me is to act like an addict. One is too much and a thousand is not enough. I don't use any artificial sweetners and try to totally avoid anything that is too high to ever allow. After about a week you lose the cravings and if you accidentally eat anything sweet it tastes unpleasant.

I know you're right AH but so far haven't been able to put this into practice. I mustn't allow myself to feel I'm deprived or I'll just say s@d it & eat something silly. I usually get my chocolate fix with a mug of cocoa before bed. I make it with water, sweeten it with Splenda & add a good dollop of cream to make it lovely & rich. Very few carbs but deliciously chocolatey.

I'm happy with how today went. I stuck to my food plan with no trouble - although a vodka & slimline tonic found it's way into my hand tonight. Oh well, it's the weekend after all.

have some protein fat n veg, you'll feel better, honest :rotfl:

Morning Me Lovelies.Come on its nearly 7.30am up and at em!!!!

Off shopping with the tinies this morning to spend their weekly spending money,have to go on the bus though as had a little drinkypoos last night and still over the limit I suspect

Weighed myself this morning and have lost another pound so the giant pretzel and hot chocolate and biscuits I tucked away yesterday havent arrived on my hips yet but I'm sure tomorrows weigh in will be a shocker lol

Its X-Factor night so its takeaway night.I always have Doner Meat and Salad as thats as low carb as I can get.Luckily the whole family love it so an easy no cook tea for me tonight

B-Several Brews and lots of screaming as I motivate the kids to get ready to go

L:Tin of Mackerel,grated cheese and mayo-By the time I come back from shopping I'll be ready to eat my own shoes so this is quick and easy

T: Keeeeeeeeebaaaaaaaab meat and salad and loads of voddie to wash it down hehe

Morning everyone :hello:

Had a lovely lie-in this morning & now sat having a coffee. Don't feel hungry so haven't sorted brekkie yet.

Menu for today will be:
B - pigs in blankets (will cook 10 but will see how many I get after hubby & DD2 help themselves :rolleyes:) might have a fried egg, depending on how many piggies I get
L - 2 low-carb crispbreads with butter & cheese, garlic sausage
D - chilli with cauli mash

Bought some reduced rasps & blues yesterday, haven't had fruit for ages, so they will appear somewhere in my menu today as well.
Also, may sneak another Options choca mocha hot choc today, totm so need something comforting.

Well, my 'frost-free' fridge-freezer (try saying that with false teeth!! :rotfl:) has started freezing over again :mad: so gonna have to de-frost again :mad: sooner rather than later, which means eating all my HM ready-meals over the next few days, I'm sure I'll manage

Better drink my coffee before it goes cold.
See you all later, have a good, preferably low-carb, day all :wave:
