Anyone else about to start low carbing?

[VeryGoodVeryNice]

I have low carbed in the past, and found it to be a successful way of losing weight, but then slipped back to my old habits and have been piling weight on lately (I’m sure being in peri isn’t helping either).

I’ve just got back from my holiday and for the first time ever I didn’t feel comfortable in my swimwear. I also had a randomly selected blood pressure test last week and my blood pressure is sky high. I have to go back to the pharmacy on Tuesday and wear a monitor for 24 hours. I’ve read that the Mediterranean diet can help with blood pressure, so between that and my expanding waistline, now is the time to get back on the low carb horse.

Also going to start exercising again, starting with C25K. My life was naturally a lot more physical until about May, so didn’t really feel the need to do much exercise, but a summer of being less active is taking its toll.

Anyone care to join a new support thread? My personal goal is to lose at least a stone between now and Christmas.

That’s great @Butterflywings2! Best part of a stone 😊. Bizarrely I’m back up to 10st 10 this morning, I haven’t cheated food wise so I can only assume it’s Friday’s ciders catching up with me. Just got back from the shops, my fridge is looking very healthy but this low carbing lark sure is expensive. I don’t even eat meat so it’s not that but I’m spending about £40 extra a week on my shopping.

Also planned some recipes to batch cook and freeze, it is doing me in having to cook from scratch every time.
