Week 9 Low Carb Bootcamp - the belated Chat thread!!!

[BIWI]

Sorry all.

Spreadsheet of Fabulousness
And The Weight Tracker

Hope everyone's results were good this morning and will try and drop in as soon as I can!

Saw Giles Corens piece in the Times and was v disappointed, his conclusion was (after considerabLe expense) to 'investigate' several ways of eating was that he missed his family or something like that ???? not exactly insightful. Think he totally missed the point on Paleo and came across like a Daily Mail article tbh.

trash suggested response " well I may have fantastic tits yes thank you but at least I am not a tit"

Totally agree about the Giles Coren programme, I was quite cross with the doc too, she spoke a load of rubbish and bad science, particularly about cholesterol, the evidence is the opposite. When Giles was saying how horrible the double burger was DH was he said how can 2 burgers and some salad be that horrible - but of course they were from a fast food place, so probably not actually Paleo.

I fancy the pants off Giles Coren. Have taped it to watch without hubs ridicule.

I can confirm he was looking fine.

Morning all! B- BPC and a coffee with cream. Too much coffee but i NEED it.

I am giving some serious thought to a bit of fasting to see me through the last week or so.

Have a fab day everyone

Fucking hell Trashy (and i think i am close enough to call you Trashy now after all we've been thru ) You poor thing. That bloke doing that is awful. He's lucky your DH didn't rip his head off.

I am thinking of having a boob job after my bfing (terrible lopsided boobs) but the last 2 times i've been bfing (and my boobs were not massive by any stretch, just more even and in proportion - in fact just did suit my size) i had so many tedious twattish comments i said to DH, i really like having small boobs, as it is like a natural selection tool for repelling twats.

Having said that, i have had quite a few 'why are your tits so small' 'you really LOOK like you should have bigger tits' 'i'll tell you a joke that'll knock your tits off - oh i see someone has told you already ' Keep your fucking personal opinions to yourself!!

Anyway, OMFG i got on the scales this morning and i have lost 4lb since Monday. That means i have lost a stone on BC and am back to my pre baby weight. Just 7 more lb to go to my target weight. Hurrah!!

Moo - I was thinking of doing a sort of 5:2 combo if this last 7lb proves difficult which i think it will.

Totally agree Gcal.

I'm feeling annoyed today. I've been having some mid to upper back pain, and I thought it was to do with my bras not fitting properly. I was correct, but my measurements reveal that I've lost an inch and a half around the band, but I've only lost about half an inch everywhere else. This always happens to me. I lose weight from my top half, from my waist up, but my stomach, thighs and hips remain largely unchanged for ages. As a result, my boobs now look sad and empty and I'm not that much closer to fitting into my holiday shorts. I've lost nearly a stone since the start of boot camp, which is great, but I really wish I had more say in where it came from!

Hi everyone. Just found the thread. Was my 30th on Sunday, had a big joint party on Saturday night with dh (whose birthday isn't till April but he's away at the end of this month) so have been feeling pretty sorry (and old) for myself... Anyhow, 10st 4 so I think I've put on a bit. Not too unhappy though, had a family filled, fun filled weekend.

MrsK - well done, good luck with the last few pounds. Fasting really worked for me and i will def give it another go, not sure why i didnt think of it sooner - although i am still a long way off of target.
Loving the small boobs repelling twats, i have massive boobs and used to get loads of comments when out but i have a look thats says - REALLY?? Muppet!

I would LOVE a boob job as mine have changed into udders, i hate taking my bra off, not sure if i actually would. I will see what they look like when i get to target and i am not even thinking about my poor massively over stretched tummy - i never used to think i was vain but i think i am!

Ready - turning 30 sucks but someone once said that their 30s were their best decade and i can say that so far its def true for me. Chin up and glad you had a fun time.

Bacon and mayo for breakfast number two, i think my appetite is coming back after all the sickness.

30s have definitely been my best decade so far! Mind you I'm pretty determined my 40s will be even better!

Happy birthday ready, 30 is a weird birthday but I'm sure you'll look back on it fondly at some point!

Hmmm, bit carried away with the ! in that post.

Morning.

trash so mad on your behalf. Fecking prick. I froze when something similar happened to me. (Grabbed down below) Then my gob kicked into gear. Mine was the middle of the day, in broad daylight in college grounds. Turned out he had special needs. You think what you will do, but fear and shock seem to be the default position.

((()))

alma I wouldn't worry, I ate everything within the timings and then dp came home bearing choc at 7.30. And I've made muffins this morning and ate about 5. ( cupcake size not muffin size)

sayra mine were a bit of a disaster. Tripled everything, but then used the 500g box of frozen berries instead of the 300g. I think the fact they were frozen made them more wet too. Added more almond flour to the second batch (cake tin only holds 12) and put in a full handful of sugar.

The first batch or just about edible but surprisingly moreish-hence 5! They are even nicer with a blob of Greek yogurt on top. I've not tried the 2 and batch because of the sugar, so I will have to wait to see what dc's think.

I am back to 13,8 this morning (the lowest I've been) I am going to have to make a conscious effort to not keep yo yoing quite so much!!

Grrrr

ready happy 30th. I dreaded my 30th. I think it's because it's a transition from youth into grown up land.

I was so much more positive about my 40th. I think this is the age I was born for. I still look good ish and I have a more - fuck you and the horse you rode in on - attitude.

30's is definitely better than 20's.

Trash sorry to hear it, freezing is a natural reaction to a hostile situation and thats all.
If I find someone is getting to close I'd probably give them a little pinch, easy to apply and effective even through drink or drugs.
If you look at the pic, by bending you forefinger over you have a sharp point to your knuckle, pinch your thumb tip to the knuckle point (where it feels comfortable / strong). if you clamp any skin between this and wiggle it its very very painful and however tough someone is they will move. Ears are great or the cheek, nose, armpits, nipple but generally works all over.
If you try this out on DP be nice.

Sorry - many years of teaching martial arts and self defence

As for the gimp that makes boob comments next time tell him to "fuck off" and if he replies then say it again and again and again until he has fucked off, shut up or apologised.

ready happy 30th b day

Looking in the mirror at work yesterday my neck/collarbone area looks slimmer and I am sure my legs are too. Weight is melting off DH, he has another new hole in his belt and today is wearing a shirt that was too tight across his tummy to wear at the start of BC and is positively billowing around his middle now.

Dear whoosh fairy, the weather is lovely here why don't you come and visit us for the last week of BC?

Oi lex that's fighting talk.

Do you know, I know it's the Internet and everything, but, but, I genuinely love you guys

I'm gonna store up all the fuck yous and practice the special nip on dh

I have done bugger all this week apart from the bare minimum. Just managed to hang out some wet washing. Will have to do some demon cleaning tomorrow and Saturday as we have a new student who's coming for three months. Best bit is he's gluten free, so easier to feed and we get extra dosh.

I have failed to get us eclipse specs for tomorrow. Everywhere in the city is sold out. Am flummoxed. Might buy a welders mask then take it back

Food today... B - cold lamb. L - tuna mayo salad.

Need to shop for everything so dunno what dinner is yet. Something easy.

Watched the programme, giley looked scrummy but the Dr was a knob!
B: flax coconut milk yog
L: mashed boiled eggs with mayo, avocado and ham.
D: will be something with chicken

trash if you do that you need to make sure that the mask is rated 14 or higher. I think some welding masks are only rated 6 so just be careful.

Trash you can make a pin hole thing with a Pringles tube. Aberdeen is supposed to be the best viewing spot (although it's been so foggy I doubt it) I got an ace photo of the last eclipse so Ill try again.

Checking in quickly - happy 30th ready - I am into my 40s and honestly feel like I am just finding my feet in life...

gcalske - do you need a big Pringles tube or one of the small ones?

My pesky extra lb had disappeared again this morning so I am now back to my weight at the beginning of week 8 - will try to STS, if it stays off a couple of days, I might push for another couple off, but need to see. I have started a new multivitamin, and walking every day, so trying to push my energy levels up a bit as more of a priority.

KOKO everyone, I will catch up with thread properly later

I am under the delusion that this is the uk so the weather will be shocking and we will see nothing. Also known as the head in sand approach. I am prepared to be proved wrong though.

But just quickly again - well done MrsK on losing a stone!
