I am starting this thread instead of BIWI as I have created the spreadsheet so we can count up the total weightloss for us all (and graphs etc in order to satisfy my geeky urges).

I have put the names in alphabetical order so names are easier for people to find. Please put your 'current weight' in pounds or kilos, it doesn't matter, I'll SORT IT AHT.

That looks great biwi.

Got to agree about those 60g bags of macadamias, plus they only cost a quid (I saw the price those robbers at Holland and Barrett and ran off).

I haven't had a yoghurt in ages, think will have some with raspberries or rhubarb next week. Are cherries allowed?

Not really, KeepOrf - 11.5g carbs per 100g!

Still here. I'm not sure if I'm on this list, or the other one. I can't remember where I am anymore!!!!

Am losing the lbs I put on following my birthday weekend. Find re-losing weight very tedious - but still better that, than put it all back on.

Agree with those who say that it is best to think of this as a way of eating for the long term, rather than a diet or quick fix. Regardless of how painfully slow my weightloss is, I still feel so much better eating this way.

Round of applause to BIWI for keeping everyone motivated and GetOrf for her amazing calculations!

Bugger!

Never mind. I am best away from sweet stuff anyway, as soon as I have anything mildly sugary it unleashes the dragon.

The berries are back! Woo hoo!!

Looks super duper BIWI

BIWI- Is it too soon to add porridge back in? Another option for breakfast would be really welcome and it has been freezing lately so it has the added bonus of warming me up.

Soooo, because we've mostly been good can we I have a cookie with a cuppa at the weekend?

NO YOU CANNOT HAVE A COOKIE! AT ANY TIME!

See? I loosen things up just a little, and now you're all wanting the moon.

Radio - I'm not a porridge fan at all, so I have no idea how many carbs there would be in a portion. My instinct would say 'no' - but do you know how many?

OOOh BIWI, you're so masterful. Fine hmmph

Based on this site, I would have to say 'no'.

37.2g per portion is way too high for it to be a low carb breakfast.

arf.

this last bit of the thread is hilarious.

Fell by the wayside at the weekend and still haven't managed to drag myself up, too much going on in RL at min, have made a committment to commence bootcamp again on Saturday, so is it ok if I stay on board even if I am way behind you all??

I'm still here btw! but I put on rather than lost over the weekend :unsurprised face: so I guess that's why you've got no results for meee?

anyway, don't forget blueberries, lush and low carb. a blob of total yog isn't complete without them.

tea - I can't find a carb count for blueberries. I can only get American sites when I Google, and I'm not quite sure how to work the carbs out from their carb counters. I know you take the fibre off - but doing that, the count was still alarmingly high (and much higher than I expected, as I had always thought they were low carb).

Do you have an accurate figure?

slotrightin - you are more than welcome!

I see what you mean about porridge. I was going to make it with water then add a splash of double cream and some fruit and nuts but even doing that , rather than making it with milk as per your link, still makes it quite high.

Re blueberries I found this on My Fitness Pal

The formatting went all odd but basically they are 14g of carbs per 100g. Are they on the list or can they not come in?

... so it looks like they are 12g carbs per 100g - that's actually pretty high.

for those wanting to introduce yoghurt, Lidl do a gorgeous full fat greek one. I am sure it is lower carb than Total and tastes so creamy. It comes in a bucket and is alot cheaper too.

BIWI I never knew cashews were so high in carbs. Here I was thinking you could have any nuts on a low carb plan.

I made the mistake of buying blueberries a while back then realised how high in carbs they were. They are sweet after all so I suppose it's no surprise really.

100g of blueberries is actually quite a lot of blueberries - a whole wee punnet. If you're just scattering a few on porridge or yoghurt, then it would be much less than that.

marking place as I have to go feed the small ones now but I need to post weight loss and add myself back to the list - I have no idea what my % weight loss is so will have to come up with A Spreadsheet too

Hmmmm, interesting re. blueberries. Must admit I've always just gone by IPD which says 'all the berries' are fine after phase 1 and has a recipe for blueberry muffins, so... I suppose they might be denser than raspberries/strawberries so you get more carbs for the weight.
