    Thanks for the heads up on the ditch the Carbs website.

    Well- after a mad month of Holidays, parties and wedding celebrations I am back on the Paleo wagon.

    Weight loss - 2lbs in 4 days.

    From now on I will weigh myself on Suday mornings and check in with you all.

    I have 3 stones 7 lbs to lose. My interim target is 1stone by August 14th. I make that 11 weeks to lose 12lbs and hopefully drop a dress size. That should be achievable.

    Wish me luck and give me a boot up the derrière when needed.....

    Weight loss just over 1lb this week. A bit disappointed it wasn't more, but I guess slow but steady is good.

    How's everyone else doing.

    I have gained 2lb this week, trying ,again, to quit smoking, fine all day till about 6 p.m. then can`t stop eating and although low carb , bad choices cal wise, 2 bags of scratchings at 463 cals A bag is not a good choice.
    Have decided this weekend to take myself in hand, I think it was one of my neighbours saying I always looked like a farmer, I am walking mine and a neighbours dog, wellies, long wet weather coat, and a waterproof hat, what does she want me to wear, bikini, lol.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    Good morning All,

    This thread has gone very quiet, where is everyone?

    I lost a few stone low carbing a couple of years ago, but managed to put it back on with a bit extra as soon as I stopped - the carbs, and sugar in particular, are addictive. Tried to lose it with SW, but disastrous so here I am back on the wagon. Only a couple of days in but feeling better already.

    Anyone going to join me??

    I've been off work for the last 2 weeks, back to work Monday, and back to healthy eating. Not fully giving up carbs but going to eat less for sure.
    I started doing this a few weeks ago and was loosing average 1lb a week so will be back on track next week. I think I've put on the 4lb I lost previously this past week or so.
    Will be following this and posting as well.

    Do I need it or just want it.
