icod's brutal IPODGE starts tomorrow

[VictoriousSponge]

primarily on twitter - look for thehashtag #ipodge and the @ipodge to get you going

TEN pounds in 31 days

NO SNACKING no crap

the blog stats show we have a dieter in alaska and a lot of scared fatties -

Victorious there is a thread on S&B asking after flattering jeans, you normally have good recommendations but can't remember what they are

Is mamaG on twitter, Victoroopus?

If so please tell her to put down her copy of Women's Realm and come back to MN to say hello.

Am in .
Did emergency weirdy Dukan diet for holiday in Cornwall-lost eight pounds but now am also eating fruit and veg as ds and dd were commenting on my unhealthy ways!

carb free diets don't work for me. I actually gain weight and stop pooing.

am doing quite well on ww - about 3lb down this week so far, but was very blobby after hols. the whole ww interactive website thingie is fab!

Just to clarify twitter.. if you put #ipodge anywhere in your tweet that is ok is it?

yes and you need to follow @ipodge

I'm going insane. I am driving myself mad.

Getting fatter and fatter and promising to start dieting every monday and then running out of no-carb ideas by tuesday.

I lost a stone and a half in 8 weeks earlier in the summer. Now I have put it all back on. I used to have my own low carb thread on here and everything.

I keep getting caught in photographs and feeling sick when I see myself.

I bought the 30 day shred and never even looked at it.

I can't stand it any more. I'm tired of avoiding mirrors and buying bigger and bigger bras.

I need a low carb menu plan.

and a boot camp.

maybe low carb doesn't suit you?

i may return to the twitterati realm of the ipodge today

because i am fattyfatty bumbum after NO EXERCISE for 2 weeks

and my awful lot are returning to education in dribs and drabs so will actually have TIME

but it still too farking complicated with all this hashtag this and that bolleuax

plus have been trying to low carb for last few days and dh has threatened to make me sleep in the shed as, erm, nocturnal emissions are not especially fragrant shall we say. even the cat is disgusted with me

oh i thought it started yonks ago

def count me in then if am only 2 days behind

@ipodge thread with info/help for low carbers is here

Twitter seems complicated, until you're in it - then it's actually quite straightforward and it's fun. Come and join us!

ICod!! You are actively recruiting from here and have left us on the Nothing Tastes Better thread. I actually typed 'batter' by mistake - shows where my mind is! Anyway. I can't do twitter. It makes no sense to me. And my MN habit is bad enough. Come back to Nothing Tastes Better!

Right - started on wednesday and 1.75lbs gone so another 5.25lbs to go.

Will need strong willpower over weekend though.

I am eating a lot of special k - cheaper than dukan and more effective for me.

have lost 4lb since monday - not bad! am doing ww points system which really seems to make sense. shows how much snacking I was doing though no wonder I wasn't losing weight before.

Can anyone post some soup recipes?

low carb does suit me - it's the best approach I have tried. I just can't get myself organised and keep falling off the wagon.

I am in twitter and on ipodge etc but I can't get into it. I understnd how twitter works but I don't understand how ipodge works.

oh bugger had half a bacon roll and half a plate of chips at soft play :(

will start mon

actually really will start mon as that is when i take up pilates whoohoo :)

scanned the low carb thread and i eat far more fruit than i thought i did which apparently is a big no no :(

i lke eggs though. eggs i can do.

is it the no carbs or the lots of veg that gives me the frooty tooties though??? i really can't continue to parp like this

ok read the low carb thread properly

i think i will just eat less and move more

and drink peppermint tea to counteract the guffage

I eat lots of eggs and don't have that problem, mayornaze!

Fruit definitely a problem if you're low carbing, but veg (especially green leafy veg and salad) is good.

BIWI does eat a lot of eggs.

Oy!

[farts]

Oi BIWI what happened to dukan?

I had a weekend off (can't remember why, but it was a significant weekend), and it all went to pot.

And I found that I hated those bloody galettes with a passion, after only a few days' worth!

Actually I've been really off piste all summer, hence now starting again. In the end, I decided that straightforward low carbing was more 'me'. There were too many inconsistencies in the Durkan book - low carb but including fruit yoghurt, including the oatmeal, which is carby, etc - I just didn't feel that comfortable with it.

But I have got the book and think I need to read it again. The main thing at the moment is to make sure I just get into the zone and keep myself focused.

How's it going for you?
