Week 7 - Low Carb Bootcamp - Fast Approaching the Finish ...

[BIWI]

Morning all!

Hope all who are ailing are swiftly recovered.

And hope all of those who have fallen off the wagon can climb back on with agility and aplomb.

We still have three weeks left, so a chance to get shot of another few of those pesky pounds.

Here is the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

and here is the link to the Weight Tracker

Good luck everyone

Fucking hell Trashy that's awful! So sorry to hear that. Have you got plenty of support in RL? How old is he? Huge virtual hug for you xx

Guys just been told about oopsie rolls, eggs and cream cheese basically.

Are they any good? Thinking of making a batch so I can have a 'burger'.

Hugs Trash I hope you're coping okay. It sounds dreadful and I'm sure the next couple of days will be tough so please post on here if you need support.

LittleMiss I won't be too worried if the after effects of the c-section are permanent. I was actually a little bit shocked and upset that they excised my scar from DS1's birth when DS3 was born. I had come to terms with the scar and then it was gone. Maybe that sounds a bit weird but I have quite a few scars and they do take some getting used to. What I want to be able to say, for myself, is that I lost the baby weight and I did some exercise and if the overhang is still there after that then I have it a shot. Whereas not trying to improve matters I think would be worse for my self-esteem. I have joked in the past about a tummy tuck but there's actually no way I would ever go through with that maybe a boob job though!

trash that's awful I'm sure that we'll all being thinking of you. Do let us know how he's getting on when you've got a moment.

You lot are scaring me with you body fat and ideal weight calculations! I'll be happy as a size 12 to be honest. (I'm having one of those days where I worry that lc is going to stop working and I'll have no more solutions.) so I'll keep on keeping on because, as already said, what's the alternative?

That's good about the shred and Pilates stuntnun! My c section overhang is awful and the tops of my knickers just gravitate into it to make it even more pronounced (tmi). Does anyone know of some good knickers that bloody we'll stay up?!

Arse. well. Am posting on phone.

Trash I don't post very often but I am thinking of you. I hope you have some RL support.

Hope hospital time is being kind to your Trashy - I knwo that minutes seem like hours when in hospital.

Just a quick report to say I have just had an over 40's health check at the GP today - free of charge, was quite impressed. The usual HT/wt/BP -but also blood glucose, total cholesterol and HDL(good) cholesterol.

So - despite lowcarbing and eating fat for the first time in many years..... and despite that hideous Horison programme - 8 weeks in , and my results were all perfect - all well within normal ranges - infact my cholsterol levels were absolutely the best.....

SO - I am healthy even if I am stalled !

Wow, that is some spreadsheet! Bit worried that some people have lost 100% of their weight though - I was hoping not to disappear entirely!

I'm going to be brave and go on it - do I put myself on or does BIWI?

trash, just popping in to say I'm thinking of you and your son. What an awful, terrifying thing to happen - I hope you all have lots of support

What a horrible thing to happen, Trash! I hope he recovers soon and will accept some help, and I'm glad if you have support.

Trash for you and your son, kids there's always something else to worry about.

Lovecat I escaped the half-term lurgy although half of our staff had it DH had manflu

LMD I'm going to keep going through lent. DH has accepted me not drinking this time, last time he sulked and said I was being anti-social as weekends were always a nice meal, with roasties, pudding and wine so I'd do the equivalent of ubercamp Mon-Fri and then screw it all up at the weekend.

Sorry can't remember who posted the pancake link - I don't use stevia but I do add a blob of extra-thick double cream. DS prefers them to 'proper' pancakes.

Has anyone got the recipe for ubercamp coleslaw?

Oh please help only started yesterday mother in law arrived wants a take away tonight don't want her to know I'm dieting what can I order? We can have anything?

Oh God they've voted whst do I do?

Sorry it's Indian

Sweetie get an Indian takeaway, you could choose some tikka pieces, I usually get a mixed tikka platter which consisted of a piece of chicken , lamb chop, king prawns and shish kebab. It's served with salad and a minty dip. Spinach dishes would be good too. Just steer clear from anything that comes in a thick gloppy sauce as that can hide a multitude of things, including loads of sugar.

Sweetie, I always get a cauliflower bhaji instead of rice, and mash it down to make a base for the curry - no idea what carbs are in it, but it's never thrown me out of ketosis.

Can I have Dahl?

Evening ladies. Just managed to skim the thread - eyes rolling in the back of my head due to sleep deprivation. Thanks so much for all the love, I'm really overwhelmed with it xxxx

Fortunately do have amazing support in rl. Dp works in psyche rehab and has lots of experience, and importantly ds respects him, although he doesn't actually know him very well, due to ds being absent from home for the last few years

He's seventeen. I had him at eighteen, and my very disfunctional narc mother has had far too much input in his life.

yes, I think I may investigate the teenage threads. I feel like his drug use will not be curtailed by this, and he's headed for more problems. If the gob rot doesn't get him first. It's an awful wound, but they managed to stitch him up whilst dp and I held him down a bit and he was abusive to the staff

fuck I'm incoherent. He's asleep at my mothers appalling doss pit. She had moved out of the flat they shared months ago, and has now moved back.... At least he's asleep. Maybe it will mend his brain a bit.

Back tomorrow fresh as a daisy

Thanks again everyone xxx

Oh trash - that's horrible for you. Hope he's recovered from his wound soon.

Trash - be good to yourself. That must be awful, as his mother, to watch it.

Sweetie - bit late, but tikka or tandoori chicken/lamb is a good bet. No rice/naan/poppadoms obv, and NO dahl either (lentils/puilses are out)

Stonetogo - I'm sure Willie will be along soon to add you to the spreadsheet!

Oh, Trash, honey, I'm so sorry - have a . What a shock. They'll have seen it before and know that what is said under the influence is not necessarily true to the personality. And facial wounds always look and bleed horrendously, but heal up pretty well. Hope you get some sleep.

In much lesser news, I am back up 5lbs, to where I was on the 2nd week. Given I am subsisting on gin and sausage (ooh er) this seems eminently reasonable of the universe. However I finally signed a rental agreement tonight, and the car is getting fixed for an almost manageable amount of £s tomorrow morning, so after I have finished celebrating with gin and sausage I will definitely, certainly, be hauling my plomb back on this wagon.

Blinking feck, I just put my wrist, forearm, waist measurements into that thing, and it says I should, to be in the 'healthy' range, weigh 111lbs.

8 stone.

I know I said I was very spindly and pin-headed for a 5'6" person, but 8 stone?

I have just been panicked into eating a portion of shepherd's pie someone kindly left for me. With potato.

I think one of my legs on its own would weigh 8 stone.!
