KeepOrfThemCarbs · 18/04/2012 21:22

teaandthorazine · 25/04/2012 17:12

have just weighed out 100g of blueberries - it's loads!! I'm talking maybe 10g with yoghurt, I think it's ok (phew!)

mummyduff · 25/04/2012 18:40

BIWI the new list looks fab, you are to good, Smile

I think I will carry on with bootcamp for a further week with perhaps a couple of glasses of bubbly Grin

PorkyandBess · 25/04/2012 18:48

OK, 10 days in and the breakfasts are killing me.

I had no breakfast today as I just couldn't face another egg.

Dh did make oopsie rolls last night though, they are surprisingly good!

I have got stuck, I think, weight wise, despite going to gym and not cheating. I don't think I am eating enough, if that could make sense. I have almost no appetite - maybe my body thinks I'm starving it and is holding on to my blubber.

Please experts, what kind of yoghurt can I have?

KeepOrfThemCarbs · 25/04/2012 19:00

I love the diet list - I think any diet where it says you can drink champagne is fantastic. Grin

I agree that bucket of Lidl yoghurt is great. porky have greek yoghurt, it needs to be the full fat one and not the zero fat version, and it needs to be unflavoured. But really recommend that great big Lidl bucket - it only costs about £1.50.

OP posts:
PorkyandBess · 25/04/2012 19:15

Bucket of greek plain yoghurt, here I come Envy

That's me feeling queasy, not envious!

Twit · 25/04/2012 20:38

If only Lidl delivered

Thanks for the next stage BIWI, will there be a new thread with it all repeated for us me to peruse at will?

FourThousandHoles · 25/04/2012 21:18

Oh and I've 'fessed up to being an almighty lardarse with a lot of weight to lose Blush

londonone · 25/04/2012 21:29

Hello. So impressed with everyone's efforts. I am finding these threads fantastic and really inspirational. I will be sticking to bootcamp a while longer so will join the still bootcamping sub group!

BIWIWhoMustBeObeyed · 25/04/2012 22:10

FourThousand - you are among friends! Grin

Yes, londonone, I'll start another thread on Sunday evening.

Porkyandbess - what are you eating? List everything you've eaten/drunk over the last few days and let's see if we can help.

Re breakfasts - you don't have to have eggs! I sometimes have leftovers from the previous night's dinner. No reason why not, except we have this thing about having specific 'breakfast' foods.

SharonGless · 25/04/2012 22:14

Also continental breakfasts are meats and cheese ( with a bit of bread) Wink

smokinaces · 26/04/2012 07:08

This morning was down to 155 (just!!) So another -2 here. Six pounds in bootcamp, another four days to go and ny target was half a stone so well happy. Now I want to just keep going until I hit my target, totally embraced this now! My target is somewhere around the 140/145 mark so really not far to go.

BettyBathroom · 26/04/2012 07:13

Down to 59.1kg this morning. Very pleased as have been cheating with wine....suggesting I can get away with my cheats long term?

SharonGless · 26/04/2012 07:40

Morning weighing in at 12 10 this morning so another 1lb off. Been eating too much cheese really but am pleased with that. I need to plan the next weeks meals as got loads in but not organised.downloaded ipd cookbook last night so am inspired

Jacaqueen · 26/04/2012 08:12

Weighing in at 14st 1lb this morning. That is 10lbs since the start of bootcamp.

mummyduff · 26/04/2012 08:20

Morning all, well another pound bites the dust, so thats 9lb in total now - new weight is 9st 6lbs Smile

Well done everybody and have a good day x

BIWIWhoMustBeObeyed · 26/04/2012 08:27

No change for me, sadly - but hoping for something by our next weigh-in.

Well done, smokinaces - surely you will make your half stone if you carry on like this. Great results.

Jacaqueen and mummyduff - that is fab!

Betty - you can get away with it to a certain extent, but don't get complacent!

GreenEyesAndHam · 26/04/2012 08:28

Morning all

Well, no loss so far this week - damn you half a carrot!

But that's ok, it's only half way through the week and it's not a gain and I've not had a dump for two days

Have a good one all

MrsNouveauRichards · 26/04/2012 08:32

New weight of 9.11 today, so another 1lb off so 5lb in total. There have been a few cheats though! More water needed! :o

Fuzzybirds · 26/04/2012 08:40

Still no loss this week here. Not fretting too much as I think it's down to the TOTM and this is week 5 of LCing for me which I know can be a bit slower. Feeling great though and my skin is the clearest it's ever been!

I seem to have become quite sensitive to sugar and sweetener and can smell if someone's opened the the cupboard hiding Easter eggs. Yesterday I had a few kalamata olives and they tasted weirdly sweet and not very nice Confused

Thanks so much to BIWI and Getorf for putting so much effort into this, the threads have really helped to keep me motivated Thanks

WizzyBizzy · 26/04/2012 08:47

Morning all. Weighing in here at 9st 7lb.

Creamtea1 · 26/04/2012 08:56

Morning all, can't remember if weigh in day was today or yesterday - anyway 1lb off so now 10st 4, started bootcamp at 10st 7 so 3 lbs off.
Are we having final weigh in on Monday to mark the 2 weeks?

NotMostPeople · 26/04/2012 08:57

Morning all, weighing in a 11st 8 this morning, that's a total loss of 6lbs and I had a 7lb goal so I'm very happy.

I haven't been in the mid 11's for about five years - yipee!!!!!

My favourite trousers of which I have a few pairs are now looking ridiculous as I'm having to cinch them with a belt and it's looking a bit Haircut 100 (for those around in the 80's).

Creamtea1 · 26/04/2012 09:01

Just to add: brazil nuts 3.1g carb per 100g

doradoo · 26/04/2012 09:10

Up 200g on last weigh-in - today we are 82,9kg.

However I appear to have lost nearly 2inches from my waist and an inch from my hips so can't really complain.

Not had nuts this week - but definitely too much wine. But overall still down just and in the 'zone' of this WOE - which is more important for me than overall weight loss. Slow and steady and long term sustainable is what I'm aiming for.
