    Was up at 7.30 but still contemplating what to have for breakfast, fed up of eggs :(
    Maybe bacon, sausage and tomatoes, with a couple of crispbreads :)

    Funny old day here, sunny, then cloudy, gone very still, prob snow next!

    Right, off to stare into the fridge, see you later.

    Need to get my weight back down again as i've put on alot the last few months.
    Is there a food list or anything i can have a look at for meal ideas as i'm goin to Asda later. I've made a start tho and had 2 fried eggs using the olive oil spray stuff.
    Thanks in advance n good luck to everyone who's low carbing :D

    Hi Lelle and welcome. Check the first post for links to some good low carb recipes and resources.

    WE just booked our summer holiday last night, to Turkey - v excited. We've got a week in a villa in Kas, with a private swimming pool and steps down to the sea from our back garden! And then a week in a bungalow on a turtle-nesting beach, lots of sand adn snorkelling. Hoorah! My five year old is very excited. As is my 39-year-old! lol.
    Anyway, I too need a holiday-weight-loss boost. Even if I was just a stone lighter I'd be much less likely to be harpooned. Operation bikini butt is on!

    Good God woman, you have at least 18 weeks, technically you could disappear by then :D
    At least 18lb, maybe 36lb :j

    So at least 4 stone is out of the question then? :rotfl:!!!!!!!
