Thankyou,

-3lbs down for me! I'd also like to join the challenge (and hopefully do better this time), and I'd like to be a rocket.

Hi. I am about to embark on my weight loss journey and am somewhat confused between advertised advice.
There are very low carb plans and then there are organisations like S World who seem to encourage eating as many carbs as you like? They can't both be right or am I missing the point?
Any advice welcomed.
Thanks

Please could I be a Catherine Wheel and be put down for the exercise challange.

Weight: - 1lb

Callanetics: 2hrs 30min
Walking: 5 min
Re_arranging furniture: 10 min(added this as it uses a considerable amount of energy when you've got ME. Its taken me until today to start recovering).

I am following a low carb diet ( I have intolerences and this suites me best) and my husband is doing slimming world.

On a low carb diet your body gets its energy from stored body fat. On a high carb diet like slimming world the body gets its energy from carbs. When on a low carb diet your metabolism goes through a change called ketosis so that your body starts to convert fat into energy.

This is a very basic explanation but I hope it helps.

I'm making my way around the various MSE forums but I have a feeling I'll be living here!

So hi everybody, I'm a fat lad with zero motivation to move. *sigh*
