Morning Campers 
As ever, here's the spreadsheet for all your confessions
Some interesting conversations last week, as well as some encouraging losses and NSVs. Glosses over all talk of poppadoms
I'm so pleased it's working so well for so many of you, but more particularly how well this WOE seems to be working in its broader, longer term sense. That's actually the critical thing for the future - finding a way to incorporate the low carb principles into how you eat for the rest of your life, while still having a life!
A difficult couple of days for me, as I'm off to Paris with work, so my meals are largely out of my control. Dinner at the hotel should be OK, but I have no idea what will happen at lunch time, as I'm stuck in a research facility, being catered for. And worse, Eurostar is on strike tomorrow, when I'm supposed to be coming home, so I have no idea if I'm in Paris for two or three days!!!!
Anyway, there are worse places to be stuck, I suppose 
Here's to a good week for us all - hope it's not too cold and windy wherever you are.

Halloumi rocks my world, nowlook, but I tend to think of it as a side or a main rather than Cheese.
Perhaps it’s the meltability factor. 
Sorry to hear you're struggling, @GuyMartinsSideburns - have a big , and then another one , and look after yourself. In a bad spot, any help is good - great - help, and that includes the pills.
Well done @tootstastic, @SlinkyDinkyDoo, @1stMrsF, @MiniCooperLover and all the other losers - sounds like it's been a good week 👍👍💪💪
I'm 1lb off reversing last week's gain. Am going for a strict week and a change in exercise - run yesterday, shred/swim today rather than my normal walking and Pilates to try and shock the body a bit. Have also done 18:6 today so may try and carry that on although I do get hangry so may need some flex on that 
@ShagMeRiggins and @venusandmars I luuuuuuurve all cheese other than goats cheese of which the smell can make me retch . Cucumber sticks to hoist out baked Camembert is bloody amazing
@MrsKoala how tall are you? I'm currently 11.4 and 5.5 (and a half - very important that.... ). And I don't find a Hobbs 12 generous. Having said that it may be my shape as it's always the thighs that are tight (gaping trouser pockets) and waist on the larger side.
@GuyMartinsSideburns 
I still have been having tea in the morning with lacto free milk.
I have lost another lb! I always seem to be lighter on a Tuesday. This is going to sound crazy so apologies but I seem to have lost it on my face. 
My face looks really different today. It's not just me but DH asked if i'd changed my hair and a couple of school mums mentioned I looked different. I caught sight of my face when cleaning my teeth and my cheek bones are much more defined and my eyes and lips look bigger! Like I've had a weird filter put on my face. I'm not complaining - it's better than looking knackered. It's just strange.
Anyway, my size 12 Hobbs trews have arrived and they fit me, in fact are a little on the loose side. Hurrah!
Red perperamis are lovely. I have had to stop buying them otherwise I just eat that and chunks of cheese instead of real food.
BIWI - I feel your pain. I have been making everyone hot x buns for breakfast and the smell of them toasting then dripping with melted butter is torturous.

@MrsKoala yay for the trousers fitting - I bought some wide leg navy ones in a 12 which fit fine other than the length as I'm a short arse 
Day 2 of 18:6 and going ok. Skipped breakfast yesterday and had lunch at 1 and dinner at 7. I did eat my 'breakfast' yoghurt at 3pm as hungry so no less calories but kept within time. No breakfast today and have done Pilates and a 6k run so am filling up with fizzy water and some tea. Same as @Siameasy a life without tea just isn't going to happen, fast or no fast, carbs or otherwise! 
Out for a drink with a friend tonight so need to avoid the temptation 'just to have one'. Feeling positive for another step change down this week but know that I'm the only one who can deliver (or equally scupper!) it.
Off to make a halloumi salad now and chilli with cauliflower rice for tea
Dodge those croissants!
It's German enforced fasting for me. Yesterday I had a couple of pepperami plus 2 pre-sliced cheese slices with pate. It wasn't the plan, but it won't kill me. No wine! Not even in the airport! And I thought wine in an airport was a rule!!
Nothing LC here for lunch. I've had a very watery soup that had veg and something like tofu in it. We're going out for dinner tonight so hoping I can eat better. Drinking loads of water for now to kid tummy into thinking it's bad something
But in good news, the guy I'm working with/for is also low carb. I'm yet to find out if he's high fat or a different dietary choice. A bit of a relief not to have to explain myself
