Low Carb Week 7 - Our final weeks

[BIWI]

Forgive me friends, for I have sinned ...

DS1's birthday today so I've been very absent from the thread.

Here is the spreadsheet for you to confess all

Will confess all tomorrow

Good luck to you all

I've pm'd you cheese
(at least I think I have )

@Bestbees

I reckon you've got BIWI all wrong. She's like Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain. Telling us all to eat high fat dust while eating all the creme eggs Just kidding, I have her as Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

I'm far too short for Dior, regrettably

In my head, you're all tall and willowy and wear linen effortlessly without crumpling.

What do I look like in peoples heads?
In my head shagmeriggins has a whip and high boots!!!

@cheeseisthebest with your user name you look like someone who I would be good friends with! Cheese stashed on your person at all times!

You look like Jo Joyner in my head cheese.
Venus looks like Jane Seymour.

@Bestbees if that means what I think it means then I think you’re seeing my mum!

It’s funny the images the mind conjures up isn’t it!

Haha!! I would love to look like Jo Joyner!

@LibbyL92

Hello everyone,

I’m completely new to the whole forum. I came across this thread whilst googling.

Not really sure how it works, but would like to get involved :)

In 28, and have been low carbing since Jan 1st.
I’ve been trying for as long as I can remember to lose weight. I just became very good at gaining it.

I’ve tried low carb before and always gave up.

However, this time something seems to have clicked and I’ve not had one slip up since jan 1st!
I’ve gone from 13st 12lbs down to 12st 3! I cannot comprehend how happy I am feeling about this. I’d love to lose another stone.

I don’t feel as though I’m missing sugar anymore. Not phased by missing out on biscuits ect.

Here’s hoping things continue to go well :)

Welcome @LibbyL92!

Have a read of the rules on the spreadsheet (linked in my OP) as well as some of the resources on there, and just jump in

Thank you all for the pet/animal photos!😍

As I have no animals I’ll post a photo of my newest beautiful thing instead...hopefully I’ll get to use it sometime this year!🤞

That is beautiful!

It looks bigger on the (stock) photo - irl it’s very small. I’ve wanted it for a few years and finally got at a very good reduced price earlier this year, and I’m glad I did because it’s discontinued now!

I can’t use it atm obviously so I just take it out once in a while and admire it, stroking it lovingly.😆

You are so glamorous and gorgeous! What a lovely dress!

Absolutely not, although that's a lovely thing for you to say

That just happens to be the only decent photo I have of me, and I also just happen to be dressed up, which is very unusual! Usually I'm in jeans and a sweater.

(It was a lovely dress - Phase 8 - no idea when I'll get to wear it again!)

@nowlook Jane Seymour the Tudor queen or Jane Seymour the actress? I look like neither - shorter and squatter - and a bit more impish (I think)

These were the shoes I had to go with the dress

Never worn since (not likely to be worn again in a hurry as I don't like heels)

Jane Seymour...

Nowlook you are gorgeous too!
I'm not showing my face!

Love the shoes.

Isn't it funny?! I didn't think of you as a blonde @nowlook. I imagined you to have a short, sleek and very classy dark bob

@BIWI and @nowlook both gorgeous!

Now I have seen pictures you are real people!

Ah yes, @Bestbees, but we could have lifted pictures off the internet ...

... in reality I'm called Dave and I have hairy hands

How strange! I used to have exactly that, but being 100% grey made it impossible to maintain. My hair's quite a bit darker now- I think that photo was taken just after the October break last year when I had a Rhodes tan. Like you, I don't have many photos of myself.

So, in RL I'm much paler and less blonde!

So cool to see photos. @BIWI you have a lovely figure and @nowlook your skin is fabulous.
I'll attach the pic I took of my home hairdressing attempt... Both straightened and slightly waved. My hair is really fine and flat and I've hated it since I was a teenager, the best haircut I ever had was a graduated bob that looked amazing when styled professionally (all done by DSIS) but a bit crap the rest of the time. I've got so many hair tools and can't even master blow drying!
