Here is the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness
Hopefully the scales are moving for us all now, albeit rather more slowly than they were to start with. And this is good. Honestly!
To keep weight off, it's much better to lose it slowly and over a longer period of time. Remember, despite how people may talk about low carbing, this is not a crash diet. It's a way of eating designed to allow you to switch to fat-burning, rather than carb-burning, which will therefore allow you to lose weight - and which brings with it a myriad of other health benefits.
Please share with us your successes as well as your frustrations. Even if we're struggling, which all of us will do from time to time, and it might be galling to read that others are doing well, ultimately it's important for us all to hear the successes because it helps us to (continue to) believe that this is a WOE which can work for us.
And PEACE AND LOVE!
Hope you all have a good week.

Week 6 - Autumn Low Carb Bootcamp - and we head to the finish line!

Hello, still a bit off and on, unfortunately but keeping going and reading the thread but not weighing this week as inevitable weight gain will no doubt put me in vulnerable to cake place
Well done to the losers! Crabby thanks for thinking about me and sacrificing yourself to carbs! And glad to see your name change too - surely you are almost into tinybottom territory? Unfortunately, I am now 
at everyone who can actually stay on the wagon properly for a whole week!
Biwi - hope the new job going well post the Marrakesh excitement. Cauliflower rice was a revelation to me too. I just chop/ slice into tiny pieces with a v sharp vegetable knife (too lazy to get food processor out) and fry in butter without any microwaving/ pre cooking - turns out fine and v like fried rice in my opinion
I too am a Bake off fan, which is a great shame as I always feel like rushing out and trying whatever they have made ie quite fancy a ginormous slice of Opera cake this week, but even for me that would be a step too far.
Congratulations MrsHP!! 
Negroni you're welcome... all part of the service. 
captain and thenight thanks for the Weatherspoons advice. I had salmon with hollandaise sauce and extra broccoli instead of a baked spud. And much too much white wine! For anyone who remembers the dramatic bike crash, it was with him and his family , which was lovely. He's walking and has a new girlfriend and is doing well, although he's having trouble with his arms and is probably going to need a bone graft. He's young and vital and he'll get through it though.
Lily thanks for noticing! I can appreciate GBB through careful planning... must have just eaten big satisfying low carb meal so not hungry, and must have pudding on the go to eat whilst watching, favourite being berry crumble with lashings of clotted cream:
Frozen summer berries- black and redcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, thawed and in the bottom of the dish.
Topping is ground almonds rubbed into/blitzed in food processor with butter until crumble-like.
Bake on moderate heat (180ish) until golden brown on top.
If you're eating that, some gacky over-sweet Opera cake has no power. 
Food today
B/L - ham, tomatoes, philadelphia
S - berry crumble with cream
D - salmon and hollandaise. Mucho vino blanco. 
Congrats mrsHP!
Crabby - I went to weathespoons last night too and i had the periperi chicken-half (and chips, which the dc ate) it was very nice and quite spicy (so I had to have a glass of pinot to quench)
And agree - Ruby is annoying, and Opera Cake provokes an insulin response just looking at it!

I'm not being a carby twat
Just been into town ad went to pret for lunch. I had Italian chicken salad which was fine but I noticed they do protein snack pots now - either two eggs with spinach or salmon and quinoa. I Thought I'd tell you all in case!
Just making a pot of cream of wild mushroom soup with about a pound of butter! It smells amazing :)
