[RatherBeOnThePiste]

And off we go again!

Piste passes round celebratory glasses of wine for all Wannabe Willowy Waifs.

Let's hope this new thread finds us in good health, good spirits and reducing in stature as we Wait for Warmer Weather!!

Has everybody got one?

Cheers!!

I have gained 5.5lb. The weight just goes on very easily these days

Just had a boiled egg and slice of toast for breakfast, 5 wwpp

:( Trimmer - all in the same boat right now it seems!

I think milk is mostly protein & fat! Carbs prob in the tsp of brown sugar! Can't drink coffee without it!

I had a yoghurt for brekkie with my coffee. Fish & salad for lunch & then prob soup for dinner, with some sf jelly & fruit as snacks! (That's the plan anyway!)

ladies, sorry been a bit awol

sorry things not great for everyone - chin up chucks x

trimmer :( but you will lose it again as i will kick your butt!!!

Well against all expectations and the bottle of bubbly drunk last night I have lost 2 pounds! :)

Only 9 pounds to go until I get back to where I was in February before dh's dad died and I fell off the wagon

I'm feeling absolutely rubbish. I have a nasty suspiscion I might be starting to have a MS relapse. Have caved & had a few chips as am feeling so out of it & dizzy DH was starting to worry. Tis the only 'bad' thing today, despite me making cakes (not for me) didn't even lick the bowl! :o

Early night for me tonight I think. Need to try & get a good rest & see if it stops these nasty symptoms! :(

Well done Pretty & Smalline on losses :)

Bebejones - hope it's not a relapse ( understatement ) and that it is something you can sleep off. I will let you off the chips, you can still be Porthos!

I didn't really eat anything at the regatta other than some salad and half the meat bit of a burger, and had diet cokes and water. i could have eaten masses and drunk loads of booze like everyone else

So tired now though after our 5.30 start. Our house still has a faint whiff of onions about it, and yes they really made me cry!!
Waves to everyone x

Am just wondering why I feel like I'm burning on the inside? Really weird. Is it ketones or the start of the menopause?

pretty and smalline congrats on loss :)

bebe hope its not a relapse of ms :( have you any drugs that can help relieve pan/symptoms?

Am hopeful it's not a relapse, my right eye has gone ever so slightly lazy, so hoping that I might just need a new prescription in my glasses. Feeling a bit disorientated!

Not sure I can keep up the total low carbing. Feeling pretty grim. Can manage no bread, cereal, crisps, chocolate (just) but might have to reintroduce jacket potatoes & homemade skin-on oven chips. And stick to the ff calorie counting. It's given me a definite, and much needed, kick up the bum!

Hope it's not a relapse Bebe.

On FF - try to make sure that the protein line is above the line, while the carbs line is below the line. That might be as far towards Low Carbing that you should go - and will be similar to the WW Propoints approach.

As I see it, carbs are the main energy providers, right? And if I get over tired my MS symptoms are prone to flaring up. So if I have too little energy/carbs then I'm going to get tired!

Have had ryvita & lf philly & cucumber for lunch with 3/4 of an apple & a yoghurt. Have made bean chilli for dinner which I will have with a v small jacket & salad. DD & DH are having it with tortillas & sour cream & cheese! I'm still well below calories for the day with that meal plan in place. And still no bread or other bad carbs!

Although it makes sense to fill up on protein - I had 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast with 1 slice of toast, felt full all morning.

Bebe sounds sensible to have ryvitas, the way I see it they are a good carb as low on the GI index.

Piste I think that's something to do with ketosis, will you stick to low carbing?

Pretty how are you mum & dad?

Having surprise birthday tea for my dad this afternoon, he is 80 on Tuesday, so carb city here with pizza, sandwiches, cakes. I will force myself to have small portions!

I don't think the low carbing is for you Bebe, its just not worth it, you really don't want any flare ups, but do get your eyes tested!

Pretty - how are your mum and dad, after that mad day you had?

I am going to carry on with this low carb business, although I have felt weird, and a bit like a space cadet!

GT - enjoy the birthday party! Hope your dad does too.

Well done Smalline and Pretty on the losses, you are doing well.
Hug for Blondes

Not sure about my mum. Dad would let me know if there had been any further developments.

Dad has spent the last couple of days in bed but thinks he is getting better as the antibiotics take effect (he had developed pneumonia ). However, at least there were no shadows on his lung: I had a panic at one point 'cos 2 of his colleagues (one co-worker, one who graduated with him) died from the same form of lung cancer, even though they were non-smokers (but they were all radiologists).

Pretty - your poor dad. Glad he is getting better, but what a worry re the radiology.

I've just been running, only did two and a half K mostly on the time front. But I really didn't have bags of energy. It was ok though.

Had two yogs for breakfast
Ham and salad at lunch
2 pears and some melon this pm
Not sure what later, maybe nothing, may just go to bed.

Bebe - are you feeling better this evening?

I watched the Glasgow Women's 10k go past our house today. Supported them all, right to the last few stragglers while dh and I tempted them with the glasses of Cava we were drinking specially for the occasion

5K is bad enough, 10K is ridiculous, I'd be taking your booze as I crawled past!

We're only about 1.25km from the start - yet some are already "pecking" (Godd Scottish expression).

We did take out a couple of plastic bubbly glasses to offer - which people left on the garden wall further down the road, so I could go and get it again (first one disappeared - ironically the only glass given to someone we knew!)

I think I'd probably start pecking early too Pretty!
You are kind though. Next year we have the Olympic road cycle race come along at the end of our road, along our High Street. Do you think they'd like fizzy too?!

I dreamt last night that I was eating chocolate eclairs - you know the ones with cream in and chocolate on the top.

I'm not desperate for carbs at all then ?!

Nope - don't think the Olympic cyclists will accept any bubbly!
