Week 4 - Pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp - time to focus

[BIWI]

The Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

Morning all. Sorry for the late start - had a bit of a bad night so slept longer than usual.

I hope that the scales were kind to you this morning, but please remember week 4 is notorious (along with week 3) in that you are very likely to have seen no loss, or even a small gain

If this has happened to you, DON'T PANIC!

This is your body adjusting to a new WOE, and from now on you should be burning fat. So don't change what you've been doing and things will get moving again; you should expect to see 1-3lbs losses each week (depending on how much you have to lose)

However, it's also important to be scrupulously honest with yourself. If you have had no loss, or seen a gain, go back over what you have been eating and drinking. Have you been following the rules? Have you been keeping your fat levels high? Have you been drinking all the water?

Good luck to us all for the following week as we go into lockdown once again. I know it's not going to be easy, and the lure of carbs (and all the alcohol) will be even more ever-present. Post here if you're needing support to stay away from them and together we can help each other. Remember, you're not alone!

And how do you look 37 when you’re 60?

Surgery, botox and cocaine. Well according to her exdh after their very public fight

@Midlifemission @Hopeislostinthehauntedhouse yep me too! I almost always cook after the toddlers are in bed. I was worried about it impacting my weight loss but feel better about it after reading @StuntNun's post. It's so much easier especially with the prep if DC are not there!

I would've loved to have put my name down for the zoom call, I've been a mum since I was 17 and kind of neglected myself over the years. I have no idea what I should be wearing for my shape, let alone this decade 🤦‍♀️😂 But I have my toddlers during the day and studying at night. And with my 1st assessment coming up every spare second is hammering the books!!

I said to my DH yesterday that I don't think I like pork scratching enough to eat them every day in December. Completely random comment, but I'd obviously seen an ad for a pork scratchings advent calendar. His face dropped and he admitted he'd already bought me one. Oops But now I'm craving pork scratchings

Actually, that kind of sweet. Relationships and communication can be hard, y’all!

These were the ones we had, but lots of supermarkets have similar, and you can make your own. I like these because there's 2 of us which sorts portion control. There not low carb, but for the carb there's a lot of vegetable protein& fat.

@Summery1 wrong thread!
