Esme - BIWI is a poster, used to be Because Im Worth It. She knows lots about low carbing and keeps those on the thread in line with a big stick she is actually lovely and gives good advice.
Low carbing doesnt mean NEVER having rice, spuds or pasta again, its about controlling yourself. Just think about the amount of carbs you consume in a day without thinking, cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, pasta/pots/rice for main meal. That is far too much and whoever said why is it addictive, well thats just it, its addictive, like sugar. Breaking the habit is hard but well worth it. I have more energy, my skin wasnt bad before, but I can see a huge difference, just in hydration levels of my skin (also a smoker, so BAD girl) and exercise is easier because you arent bloated or having sugar spikes (you all know the shaky feeling) during the day.
There is a scientifically proven way of eating - paleo/cave man which is similar to lc but not as strict on carbs. As humans we were never meant to eat grains/processed food, but its become the norm...
Steps off soapbox 
Sorry for slight derail.
LNM - weekends are just other days, nothing exciting unless we make them more exciting. I was chatting to a hairdresser friend, they dont really have a full weekend, most work Saturdays too. Its funny how we just assume everyone is 'off' Sat/Sun.
