Morning all!
Come and confess all on the Spreadsheet of Wonderfulness
By now, you may be finding it tough going. The weight loss is nothing like it was in the first couple of weeks. In fact, you may even have seen the scales show a gain.
This is quite normal at this stage, as your body is shifting/has shifted into fat-burning mode, and you are now burning only fat. No more water loss. Long-term, sustainable weight loss is likely to settle at 1-2lbs per week.
By now, though, you should be more used to this WOE, and it should seem a more normal way to eat. Hopefully you've sorted out how to plan for times when you're out and about, and have a few strategies up your sleeve for the unexpected. And hopefully you are also better at knowing what does and doesn't work for you.
Here's to a good week to us all.

mother:
"Ok bad bad diet weekend.chinese and Indian so probably all the weight back on.not looking forward to tomorrow now.no excuse other than was feeling really crap from t,he bug and then the triplets went away overnight.( but it all tasted gorgeous so it was mindful eating)I must get back on the wagon tomorrow.I just can't bear the thought of fat."
You obviously didn't have any issues with eating fat at the Chinese/Indian restaurants, though, did you?! 
Fat is good for you. Fat is what keeps you full. Fat does not result in your body producing insulin - so you will not lay down fat by eating it.
What is it about fat that you don't like? Is it the thought of it? It wouldn't be surprising, as we have been brainwashed into believing that fat is the baddie.
Well, I dont think I'm in fat burning am I? If I still eat some carbs in food (eg quorn, breaded stuff, milk, baked beans etc), can I still go into fat burn? 
Cats tail that's really good. The problem is in the first couple of weeks people have massive weight loss which is usually due to water tbh, 1-2lbs a week is classed as good on any weight loss programme. We are in this for the long haul-slow but steady wins the race and all that!
Not weighing in until tomorrow as was brought a cup of coffee in bed this morning 
Morning!
Hi BIWI, thanks for starting the new thread.
Had a bit of a disastrous weekend due to my meals choices on Friday and Saturday arriving and being distinctly not low carb friendly despite sounding like they would be on the menu. Grrrr. Won't mention the wine consumption 
.
Anyway, strict Bootcamp this week. Hope everyone else is ok on this dreary Monday morning.
morning!
I am back to bootcamp. Not sure how long I will survive as my back is still sore and for some reason carbs seem to help, especially with the horrid tablets I've had to take. BUT I am going away with the slinky girls end Nov and I NEED to lose some weight. I cant do much walking and I doubt I will be able to do my aquarobics but low carb I am sure I can manage.
Im here, but no big stick for me please.
Good morning.
Well - the less said about my absolute carb fest over the past week the better.
0.6 gain (and lucky it's just that).
I have found that sweet foods i.e. cookies or fruit juices are incredibly sweet.
Drinking only small amounts of water leaves you feeling really 'hungry'.
Good luck with weigh-ins everyone.
morning all
MrsHP sorry to hear about the party, your poor DD
I have lost 1lb which I am very pleased with, as did indulge in a liitle alot of wine overt the weekend.
Good luck with the weigh ins ladies x
3/4lb down for me, quite pleased after the rollercoaster of weight I've had this week. Same again this week I'll be back to target and I've definitely been doing Bootcamp VERY light this weekend, curry takeaway with 
stuck to chicken tikka and veggies but couldn't resist a poppadum.....but they're so light there can barely be any carbs surely?!?
RESULT 
checked on MFP and a poppadom is only 5 g carbs..I know that's DEFINITELY not Bootcamp but it's not the total disaster I was expecting
should have had two
Hi all on the bright new shiny thread! And good luck.
Am 1.5lbs down, so 10.5 lbs in 3 weeks. Have had very few minor cheats (no ) so am quite pleased as I reckon this last weeks loss should be all fat going by now.
Am under the 160 mark, whoop whoop!!

Bit confused , if you get weighed and it says 221.8 , does that not mean 221llbs and 8 oz ? and are there not 16 oz in a llb? if so does that mean i have lost 2 and a half pounds ?
Either way very glad for the weight loss as fell off the wagon with a resounding thud on thursday , literally had no , no carb food in the house and no money and was starving and ate 4, count em , mini bread rolls in one sitting ! Felt rather disgusted with self and so have been uber good since then .
Need to drink more water - that is my mantra for the week
