Hello all, have been AWOL since before holiday and off WOE on holiday as laziness won over best intentions. Have lost most of the holiday gain but about 2lb to go. Have been having a lot of BPC, discovered it really is good when blended but not brave enough to try an egg in it yet! Planning another egg fast for next week then I'm at a wedding on Saturday and plan to LC for that. Buffet should be OK for LC options (apart from the sausage rolls I'm making!).
NSV went out last night and wore a dress, felt slim and actually looked good in photos!
Hope everyone is doing ok and KOKO, will try to catch up on the thread..

My stall came quiet a bit later, Oatcakes, around week 8, and I entirely blame it on low-fat creep. I was still low carbing pretty faultlessly, but I had def allowed years of low fat diets mess with my head a bit, and I know I slipped back into low fat cooking,and lean mince and skinless chicken breast fillets. I didn't gain, but I did slow right down and I put it down to letting myself get hungry and then filling up on extra lean protein. Once I started to eat my fats again, things got moving.

I know what you mean ilove isn't it annoying that all these diets have messed us up. I automatically think of choosing low fat option at the supermarket- it's ingrained into me. I love the low carb boot camp way though

Thanks biwi oatcakes ASD.

Loving the piggy pics dude . Such cute little squeakers.

I still can't believe I ate a magnum, I honestly don't think I had a choice. In fairness I had managed five days of eating out, picnics, making cookies and fairy cakes without a single slip up.

Today I've eaten

B ff yogurt with a few berries
L pork scratchings
D belly pork, asparagus and courgette

YoLo
Stunt I have so far managed to avoid drunken posts. Just tomorrow to get through

There are many positive posts Clear Congratulations

I hope that those of you who are suffering/snotty - get well soon

Breakfast... cauliflower rice cooked in butter with egg, spring onions and a chicken thigh. Absolurly gorgeous and kept me fuelled on my nearly four hour hike and avoided dominos and icecrean that my family had.
Lunch.... ff Greek yoghurt (at about 330)
Dinner .... Aldi chicken sizzlers fried in butter (half a pack) with Greek salad (40g feta, 1 tomato, cucumber, oregano and 1tbsp evo) unfortunately don't like olives

Feeling really happy, can't believe how much I have changed in less than a week

I'm going to view a puppy tomorrow!!! Gulp

Yolo I'm sorry you're having such a tough time in your personal life, I've been there and done it, the most useful thing anyone every said to me was "you stop loving the other person a long long time after the relationship is over" when I heard this I stopped being sad about the inevitable and got on with the practicalities. You have us to rant at and there are lots of shoulders to cry on, it shows enormous strength of character that you are committed to this WOE in the face of what you have going on elsewhere in your life.

Dude love the piggies

Well done losers, keep on keeping on everyone.

Namaste Bitches

Going to go drink some more water, as I don't think I've had enough today.

Hiya everyone! Been mad busy over the past few weeks so not caught up with all the threads, hope everyone is ok? Hello to the new faces, welcome to the wonderful world of LCHF!

I'm still going, although need to make a proper push soon, are we still doing super strict september?

Rain it's a chihuahua

Here she is but this is the first one we're looking at and because it's primarily a companion for Smokey it has to have the right temperament.

Hi hippa yes there are quite a few of us doing sss

I'm def doing SSS. I'm still losing small amounts every week, but I'd like some more fat to piss right off without resorting to the egg fast, which brought my keto itch back horribly. I'd also like to lose my lumpy belly fat, my lower belly looks like an ancient mattress at the moment. I think my belly has cellulite now. My skin is still just about holding up, but I can't believe I will be able to maintain that for the final 2-3 stone without some divine intervention. For now, I would just be happy to see the lumpy fat improve a bit. I look 1000 times better dressed, but I think I look a bit weird naked atm.

Oh here you all are. I've been away. I'm back. Enough said. I'll hopefully be catching up with the thread now. I think I need another egg fast.

Night shifts over!! Hurrah!! I am fat and bloated and my irritable guts are killing me.

Welcome back flummoxed

I will def be doing strict September. I need it

C4 That little pooch looks adorable.

I hope you are fast asleep now MOIST. Back on track with strict sept.

I love puppies. Here's buster with his puppy family

Sodding Insomnia last night!!! Why??? I didn't eat anything to trigger it. I haven't had any alcohol. I'm not overly worried or stressed - just the usual low level stuff

Bang on two stone off in the 14 weeks at today's weigh in. Bizarrely that is 4-5 dress sizes depending on shop. I was either wearing very odd clothes before or there are less pounds to a dress size than I thought.

ilovecherries I've always equated a stone with a dress size, roughly. But everything depends on body type and cut of clothing I suppose.

Weirdly I've dropped nearly three stone in total but gone down only one dress size. So I don't think you're wearing very odd clothes, I think clothes are just odd.
