Continued - Week 1 New Year Low Carb Bootcamp Chat Thread

[BigStickBIWI]

Last one filled up really quickly, so here is a brand, spanking and distinctly thinner thread for you to fill up.

I think were all doing so well all of the losses were seeing just proves this woe has a positive effect on our lives... And i love having this thread to come and vent to, instead of boring people who probably arent interested

Hello all, love Friday evenings. Just got in and am drinking soda with ice and a slice, pretending its G&T. Have some salmon cooking in the oven so am looking forward to that later.

Still feeling a little bit fluey, but nothing like as bad as before.

Have a good evening everyone, congrats on the weight loss so far, some great results. I'm waiting until Monday before I step on the scales, but I do feel as if I've lost weight, so fingers crossed.

Hi all and well done on all those fab weight losses

I've said it before but I'll say it again- I find it so easy to eat out on this WOE. Tonight DH and I went to a local restaurant I had prawn cocktail to start but left the bread, followed by lamb rump with tender stem broccoli. I asked them to swap the crushed potatoes for creamed spinach and bring me a pot of butter cheeseboard for pud, and black coffees to finish.

So satisfying after all those times when I've scanned menus for low fat dishes and ended up with salad for starter and salad for main and no pudding

Just checking in to say I can heartily recommend the quick prawn curry on the recipe thread - just wolfed it down for dinner with cauliflower rice that is also a REVELATION :) DP loved the curry too, though the little bugger insisted on going to the Indian for a naan to go with it (and I really WANTED some but managed to resist!) Keep going all, you're all doing so well!

Hi All!

Been a bit busy on an essay deadline so just checking in.

I'm sooooooooooooo tired today, even though I've had a day off sans enfants AND I even had a nap.

Espresso martini would sort me out BUT I WON'T!!

I'm finding it annoying having to cook things from scratch tbh. I'm so used to just mooching around the kitchen for nuts/breadsticks or whatever.

anyhoo

B:scrambled eggs with butter and cheese
L: belly pork and garlic mushrooms
D: will be takeaway - fish tikka, lamb chops and chicken karahi which is nice!

Happy Friday y'all!

had a really, really shit day today and I just feel really tearful. Which isn't like me.

Trying to stay strong and not have my usual Friday treats/comforts.

Oh slatternly love, have a big hug. Try to remember that eating shit won't fix whatever was rubbish about your day. About half an hour later, you'll just feel shit for eating it and tomorrow you'll be annoyed with yourself all day. Voice Of Experience here. At least by not falling into the comfort food, you'll wake up tomorrow proud of yourself for being strong and that will start the day on a good footing.

Sorry to hear that, slatternly
Do you want to talk about it?

Slatterlymother aw mate! what happened? have you got replacement nurturing strategies in place?

(and I won't tell BIWI if you have a sneaky gin n soda)

That bosom won't be ample for much longer, mek the most of it. Tell us all about it

Hi all

just checking in, I started on Monday and seem to be doing ok. I am drinking the 3 litres of water per day (and coffee, sorry BIWI can't give it up) but wanted to ask does anyone else have a dry, salty lips?

Congratulations everyone on the weight losses :-)

No, you're all right I know. I'm not going to do it to myself.

I've got a glass of sparkling water, and we're watching Mastermind and gloating when we get one right and crowing at the losers.

I don't really want it, which is telling. It's almost for the sake of cramming cake in my mouth. As if I bloody well need more of that

Evening all. What amazing weight losses - you are all really inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing your stories.

Sorry you've had a bad day slatternly, tomorrow is a better day I am sure.

Today:
B: 2 eggs and butter
L: last night's salmon in creamy mushroom sauce with a side salad
Dinner will be a chicken 'pie' with mushrooms, brussel sprouts, a little bacon and a swede and celeriac mash. Hopefully will be yummy!

Thanks for the tip about cucumber in water - that is brilliant!

I don't know where you lot are getting all your energy from, I'm knackered! I don't get to sleep easily so find I'm still going to sleep late even though I now have to get up earlier now I'm back at work.

Went out for lunch with friends so had a bacon and avocado salad with dressing on the side and a large sparkling water (even turned down a bowl of fries!). I have learned never to say anything about "diets" as it leads to too many questions so I just tell my friends I'm trying to eat more healthily and they all talk about something else!

On the downside, our local Lidl has run out of crayfish tails. Disaster!

We should all try to remember, it's not that we're 'not allowed' anything. We're just choosing not to have it

Nah, it's just shit. I'm in the Navy, and although I'm leaving, they are being spectacularly cuntish (I know, I'm sorry) about drafting. I might have to take a pay cut for 2 months (not loads; luckily we won't really miss it but that's not the bloody point) so someone else can be drafted into my position. It's complicated, but I want to roundhouse kick the drafting guy in the fucking sternum.

My friend is being harassed by another woman, and I feel so powerless to help her. I hate bullying, and it really flashes me up

ILove no, my lips are normal at the mo

slatternly that's shit. I know this is a bit woo and all that, but it sometimes helps to 'visualise' .

So visualise the bastards having seven shades of shit kicked out of them

slatternly I hope you are ok

I am eating all low carb but have been having cheese (not that much) and quite a lot of cream each day. I have cut out the cream today. I am just sulking because everyone as lost loads o weight and I a still fat. Boo. But I do feel better, I must admit.

Sorry slatternly, I was not being unsympathetic, I cross-posted with your day of woe. Hope it gets better soon.

Oh and thanks, I've now got the Village People in my head
