The soups are always lovely. I love the hot and sour with prawns and versions meats, but I've just read the Tom Yam and Tom Ghan kai are good options as well (though haven't checked carb count).

Stir fry with just veg and meat (no noodles or rice) with whatever spices or oils they use sounds a reasonable meal.

Actually just checked the menu and I might go for a duck green curry - will do some of my own cauli rice to go with.

sorry - only just saw these replied - wasn't ignoring you!

Tome I'm really sorry about your arm. It truly sounds terrible.

Ps--stop being a carby twat

Clear not decaf for sure, but probably excessive cabbage
C4 -- We could be siblings, I drink the same amount of coffee switching tea in the evenings.

Yea, had a new number this morning 198.4 which stayed after the shower. Went to the Docs for the Annual, and his scales were 198.8. ( just cycle stuff on )
Will be needing a name change for sure thought to Grahisafatty or Grahsoontobeafitty.

Second name, I think is more goal orientated and as I plan on targeting for Body fat percentage instead of weight/BMI now more appropriate. Need to get some heavier muscles for garden work, if we move to the countryside.

Onederland passport stamped and pictures attached.

Finally got the cut & colour done that I'd promised myself when I'd lost a stone. In fact, by now I've lost a stone and half , so that I think I'm half a stone lighter than when she did my hair at Christmas. (It was her boss who did my hair in May, when I was at my heaviest)

I've told her that I'll see her again at Christmas, when I will have lost at least another stone If I have t lost that much, then I can only get a cut, but if I've lost enough I can have a cut & colour.

Lovely hair do Pretty.

grah at last the underwear shot. hubba hubba great legs!

prettybird looking good yourself too!

Great pics grah and prettybird.

It's such a pleasure to see successes with shape and style and confidence. Inspiring.

Love the hair prettybird

I'm not sure caffeine stalls my weightloss. Years ago when I was anorexic I lived off numerous cups of tea and coffee. Maybe it's the case for some but not for others? Same with dairy?

Food for me today:
L - avocado & chicken thigh fried up together in butter & smoked paprika
T - turkey sausages with buttery runner beans & broccoli and lots of mayo

Probably not enough water, will koko with that!

Thanks ladies. Looking on the phone shows the cycling tan lines well on the feet.

Gotta work on the loose droopy skin. But not concerned, got a year before the next holiday and with winter coming will not be exposing any think for months.

Hello everyone.
C4 Congratulations on the arrival of Alfie and DD's great achievement
Just and Grimbles Fantastic losses. Yay.
Grah - looking good
prettybird Your hair looks lovely and you have certainly earned the treat
Sayrra The dress looks really lovely.

I'm sure I've missed loads, but Meh!

Your hair is gorgeous, PrettyBird. Love the style and the colour.

Thanks for the recipe, _leni - I'm looking forward to trying it over the weekend.

tome, hope your arm is better soon.

giraffeski could your husband have ghee (clarified butter)? I believe that the dairy protein gets skimmed off and the remaining oil just tastes of butter. I've never made it myself, but i'm told it's really easy.

Today, I made assembled the ---- most delicious feta, tuna (in olive oil), iceberg (has to be), radish and tomato salad,Dress with oil and lemon juice with a bit of salt. Fab.

Still useless with water but first day of September I've not had a Diet Coke - I shall count it as a half NSV

I've probably put he kibosh on any more weightloss over the next couple of days

B. Bacon and mushrooms

Squeeeeeeee such a squooshy lil bub!

my ovaries just exploded

Oh C4 he is adorable and lucky to have you as a grandmother.

grah well done on getting to onederland, looking good!

I've had pudding tonight, my first one in 12 weeks, it was low carb, but still felt wrong and l feel like I've cheated

Today:
B sausages
L bacon, mushrooms, leeks, cabbage & cheese
D gammon, cauli cheese & broccoli
Low carb cheesecake - almond & butter base with mascarpone, Greek yoghurt & sweetener topping

C4 he's absolutely lush and you can bang on about him as much as you want. Grandchildren are so special.

c4 what a gorgeous picture! Love it!

giraffeski it should be fine if you normally cook with dairy free yoghurt and it doesn't separate. When I was on a low fat diet (shhhhh) I tried it with 0% fat yoghurt and it separated. So def need some fat in the yoghurt. Your recipe looked lovely

grah at last!!! Very brave but looking good there 👍

c4 he's one lucky boy

DH cooked last night - a Polish meal - I think I might have overdone it on the sausage front

C4 he is beautiful.

I've started using these for my cheese and nut butters which are helpful for lunch and speed they are very low carb

I came back from my holiday with a 12lb gain fortunately it was water retention. I have lost 10lbs this week and feel like me again.

C4. Alfie is gorgeous.

prettybird. Your hair looks lovely, you look so much like a friend of mine - I thought you were her her until I zoomed in close!
