i am really struggling right now!!! i've had 4 of oh's haribo gummy bears and now he's making pizza... stuffed crust, anchovies, olives. i'm not even much of a pizza person but right now :eek: i've got some chicken thighs roasting in the oven, hopefully they will do the trick cause i'm craving carbs like maaaaaaad!!!

Don't you bend adelight, think of that yummy crispy just out of the oven chicken skin. Yummy :j I'd go add some ground pepper to the top, the smell will hit you & you will want that yummy juicy chicken

(if you cheat, you must go to the mse confession. IE here:rotfl:)

Hi everyone and welcome andrewsmum.
Been busy doing xmasy stuff and have had loads of visitors who've been given oatcakes and cheese and lc hot choc - easy way out and I can join in. (Not only was it lc, it was on the reduced shelf)!Had a niece called to-night cos her mum said I was looking good and she wanted to know all about lc - I took it as a compliment - and she agreed that I was in much better shape than the last time she saw me.She is going to start lc as well. I told her lc is no hardship for me - I love it and it all just happens to be my favourite foods - which I take as a sign that I was always meant to be a lc person. I also am delighted to say that I never have the dreaded heartburn now or the IBS which I occasionally suffered from.
Lidl greek yogurt has been one of my staples for a while now - it's delicious!!
Sent OH to get 3 loaves of lc bread but only 2 left on shelf - wish I hadn't told my friends about it! I knew all day that there was something I needed to get from the shops but couldn't think what and now I've just realised I've run out of eggs.
Salmon with creamy sauce and broccoli to-night.
Hang in there adelight!! -and everyone else too.

That's a great compliment beanrua :j You must be looking amazing.

I am in heaven right now, just eating a pack of Cruga chilli beef biltong (on clip strips in Tesco beer aisle) got it for oh as he likes dried beef, I normally hate it but this is so nice. Even better than porky scratchins if I can swear that way :eek::rotfl:

A 50g pack has only 1.35g carbs, calories aren't bad either

Actually I was in my scruffy clothes, no make-up etc etc so I know that I can now make myself really amazing when I get into my little black number for Xmas - have been holding back on the glam bit but now I can't wait - bring it on ( I fully intend to wow all my in-laws who had me marked as an old hippy who couldn't be bothered) - getting into a tankini in Lanzarote a few weeks ago was a life-changing moment for me. I owe my sanity ( and my figure) to you lot!!!!!!! I wish I could have you all round here for a celebration...................cheese party!

Evening all, didnt realise it was so late!

Bit tired atm, wasn't too good yesterday, been having a few female problems and yet another trip to the Doc.

Anyhoo, good all day in work (lc sarnies are soo convenient) no organisation at home and fallen off the wagon again

I seem to have kept the weight off tho as uniform still very loose, probably coz i've been so busy.. If only i could get organised i should lose weight easily.

Beanrua, i suffer from dreadful heartburn if i dont do lc, gone through loads of ranitidene lately dont get it when lc-ing, all the more reason to be good!

I so do agree mazzers - I was on a load of stuff for heartburn and then when I went lc I didn't need it any more. Hey mazzers your uniform is loose!!!!!!! Need I say more!!!!:)

Morning everyone

Another lb gained this morning

Some lovely recipes & meal plans on here in the last few days, have been taking note ready for starting again in the new year I'm well impressed with the peeps that have been managing to stick with LC with all of the high carb Christmassy temptations - I'm afraid I am weak & shameless!! :rotfl:

mazzers, hope you're ok

A sunny, but cold and frosty morning here.. brrrrrr

Chicken dinner again this week, well, i had to make room in the freezer :cool:

Lc toast for breakfast in a mo, chicken and veg for dinner and maybe a sandwich later this evening. Thats the plan, i may wander off it a bit tho, i think it's too near xmas for me, i will be better in the new year

Adelight, if you get the dough made, you could easily make a cheese stuffed crust, anchovie/olive laden pizza out of it.

That Lidl yogurt is the only one i can find now that is full fat, and it's so cheap, i hope they dont ever discontinue it. Has anyone seen any anywhere else?
