Morning all.
A very early start to this week's chat thread, as I'm 8 hours ahead of the UK right now.
Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness one more time
Hopefully by now, low carbing is starting to become a habit rather than a hardship. We're out of the dreaded weeks 4 & 4, so for those who haven't seen much movement on the scales, things should start to get going again now (although don't expect to see huge losses from here on - around 1-2lbs a week is a normal and healthy rate of loss)
For those who aren't seeing any movement in the bathroom 
make sure you're eating plenty of fat - see how you can find ways to add more fat to your diet. Similarly water. And look at what you're eating, and be sure that you're getting your carbs in the main from veg and salad.
I have noticed that there's a fair bit of slippage cheating starting to creep in, and I'm calling you all on that! Remember that this isn't an especially forgiving way of eating, and if you cheat, you won't lose!
But good luck for the rest of the week

Week 5 - Low Carb Bootcamp - the end of the first half

I’ve gained too, could someone add my weight please - 136. Had a slight slip up yesterday, and not enough water and it’s my time of the month too so imagine it’s all contributing.
Off for a 3 hour exam this morning! Haven’t had an exam since I was 16 😳 Really hope I’ve done enough preparation! So not sure about breakfast today, I’m up super early and leaving before 7.
Have a better day all! 
So sorry, Leap and Northern - big hug for you both.
Congratulations Grimbles - nice big vitamin smoothie for you .
Good luck, Guy - I'll have a lovely creamy coffee for you half way through.
Waswitty, that's great stuff re feeling better overall. That's what I love about this WOE - total shift in mental and physical health (through proper nutrition) of which weight loss becomes just one aspect. Unlike those poor bastards still chasing syns and calories and merely on a slightly smaller, more uncomfortable, version of the same old hamster wheel.
My tentative lb - the important stone barrier one - fluctuated early in the week, but is now firmly gone. Perhaps taking another 1/2lb with it, but hard to tell on my ancient spring/dial scales. I've been a bit grumpy that my hip measurement hasn't changed in the last few weeks, but pulled on some shorts-style knickers yesterday, and instead of me plumping them out, they actually gaped around the legs. Seriously, about 4 inches pure air. Which is a very handy reminder that I am also losing from the places I don't measure!
Morning everyone, thanks for the new thread BIWI
I'm down 2 this week which takes me into a new stone bracket. I'm delighted with this result because it was a hard week with having had mirena recently inserted and having period I was a hormonal mess and weight was not moving unless up. Seeing the next stone bracket so near but feeling like it wouldn't happen was frustrating.
Thankfully everything settled over the weekend and I feel normal again
To all those feeling like that now, it will get better and any gain will go again, stick with it.

Down 1lb, but I tend to retain water before my period, which is imminent. And 16 in total!
It’s becoming a WOE for me which is good. No more sugar highs and crashes, clearer skin. Having weird weird dreams though!
