Old Thread

I am new thread starting by stealth while you lot aren't watching! Woo Haa haa haa!!!!! :o

Feeling like flouncing again!
So near and yet so far, and seem to have stalled, all I want to do is shovel chocolate buttons into my gob!

Trimmer, I'm going to start the Shred again from day 1 this week. Not tonight as have parents evening, but maybe tomorrow (but work late so might be Thursday)

Yes, on lowest carb you are only allowed green veg basically - cabbage, broccoli, salad, and then some cauliflower etc. Ones to avoid are root veg (parsnips, carrots, swede) and sweet things such as sweetcorn and peas. Its quite easy to keep to to be honest, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I feel better than when I did slimming world - I love all the pasta and rice, but to be honest my stomach didnt. I wonder now whether I have some kind of reaction to the gluten or wheat? The portion size is better for me on this low carb too.

Piste, dont flounce. 2lb is a big poo!! Are you still running? Have you kept on doing the Shred? To be honest, you are basically at target so celebrate and start the long road of maintaining!

I won a lovely dress of Ebay from Next last night. Now just got to slim into it - its a small 14, so another dress size to go.....

Low carbing has been a really positive thing for me too, it was just what I needed, and like you Smoky I feel so much better for not eating bread and pasta etc. I think you should try my low carb thread, Custy who is the expert comes and goes, although she is essentially maintaining, and there are people who really know their stuff too.

I have to get the scales to say 9:13, then I am done. Then I'm going to start a thread for people like me to maintain on, because I can't do this on my own!

Custardo's blog is here Smokin I found it a good read, and I love her celeriac chips they are proper yum

How is shred going smokin?

I know Pretty cuts down on carbs and increases protein, it makes sense as protein is very filling. Although there are carbs which are more filling than others, brown basmati rice is one, something to do with the GI index

How do you introduce carbs again? Or is this it, you'll always be eating fewer carbs.

Pisty you will get to goal soon. Can we see a before and after pic?

Shred isnt yet. Work has been manic - did 8.15 to 5.15 yesterday and covered for someone being off today, so basically tried to juggle two jobs. Love it, but so so busy. I will try, one day soon.

You introduce Carbs slowly, with the idea that you switch permenantly to lower GI versions (so wholemeal bread and pasta instead of white) and learn about portion control at the same time. You adapt it as a basic way of life though, lower carbs on the whole. The portion plate is a great thing for when at goal.

Pisty, I want to see before and after pictures!!!

there will be no photos!! Well maybe an after one, certainly not a before, cos there aren't really any because I took them all, so there are none of me

Spoil sport Piste, you must have some sort of photo evidence of being bigger??

So, big weigh in tomorrow morning - eeeek for you!

It could be The Day!
It also might not be!

And it did prove to be the day..........

Nearly two years on.......

Drum roll please, and cue the confetti..........

Waiting with baited breath here pisty.......

Well, I am happy and determined, lost 2.5lb, of course I weigh 8lb lighter on my scales compared to the sw scales.

My problem - it's taken me all this time to realise I can't bloody lose weight without a goal. I've not had one since dh's niece's wedding summer before last.

SO I have a very short term goal - by 12th December to have lost another 1/2 stone so that I can fit into my velvet trousers as I am going out for a meal with my book club. Then need another goal by early March.

When are you coming back to C25K?

Sweaty!!! Lovely to see you!!! I'm coming right now

well done pisty!!!!!!

i am failing miserably and think i will give up to ny and then kick my arse back into it x

I think B, instead of feeling you are failing, is that I would give it a miss, start again at some point in the future. Tis not the right time for you my lovely.
