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.

Thanks Kerry

Doshu Yes - the crime egg was about as non-low carb as you can get!

lastyears - I should deffo put IPD next on my reading list.

slatternly - You asked upthread about my meal plans for next week - have just gone through the recipe thread and picked out four meals, ordered online for first time, and feeling much more positive!

MrsHP I haven't got anything special planned this week, but planning my meals has strangely been comforting and is doing something positive I feel. (Now watching Mr Selfridge, but is not quite filling Downton-shaped hole! )

any low carb shin of beef recipes anyone? have some in the freezer which I can cook in the slow cooker

And Timid Thanks for the self-talk suggestion - such a good idea! Next time I'm faced with the Easter chocs aisle, I've got my pep talk prepared

Teddy You look fab!

((( hugs ))) for everyone who's had a shitty old day.

Won't it be good though, when we're all miserable yes, but thin

Anew I think BIWI did a shin of beef recipe the other day..

Haha definitely Noel

ahhhh BIWI please can you PM me the recipe? Thanks Novelty

starfish sorry to hear you have had a tough day. If it helps, my 4 year old dd's behaviour has been pretty revolting on and off since Christmas. She told me she hates me this evening, because I made her go upstairs to have a bath. Charming.

novelty I hope you are feeling better.

Thanks Bessie. Sorry you've had a bad day too. And you Starfish

starfish I hope my post to you doesn't sound trite. I just meant that 4 year old girls (well, mine anyway) can be badly behaved just because it's not easy being 4.

novelty really hope you are feeling better

Novelty - sorry to hear you are having a tough time.
Slatternly - are you feeling any better?

Thanks for the tip about soya milk.

No brekkie, no time
Lunch: Nando's plain chicken, Mediterranean salad and olives (my husband could hardly move as he had to eat all the chips and the desert out three year old rejected - never call a cake a carrot cake in front of a toddler.
Tea: lamb mince, roasted aubergines, celeriac chips - amazing.

Feeling good but my scales have broken so not sure if I can myself weighed tomorrow.
Good luck with that everyone xxx

By the way Starfish my child really lost it after we moved to our current home. He's been hard work for ages so I can imagine how you are feeling a little?

I don't want bread , pasta, rice, cake, biscuits or sweets.

I WANT CHOC!!! Lovely delicious choc. Pref green and blacks almond or milk. And a milky cup of hot choc to drink. Ooooohhhh. It would be so lovely.

Argh. Why does it always come to choc. There is no low carb substitute and my choc craving won't be subdued with egg, chicken or celeriac chips. Meh.

Good luck for the weigh in tomorrow everyone!

I know there will a new thread very shortly but...
I can button my shirt up! Obviously loosing almost 4 pounds is great but the fact I can button up my favorite cotton shirt is fantastic.

Feeling very healthy and happy at the moment.

That's it really. Oh and it rained yesterday which is heavenly as we had to start bucking water onto the garden to save the plants and it looks like we will have at least 4 days without the need to prepare to evacuate. ( I'd forgotten how stressful Australian summer can be).

Hoping you all have fab losses in the morning.

Haven't been updating as this thread(s) has been far too time consuming to read never mind post but I have 2 reasons to continue this WOE

1. I have lost 5 lbs in a week!!
2. I cleared out my wardrobe yesterday and tried on some of my pre-pregnancy clothes and they fitted!!!

Sod the meat costs. I'm still £s up with all these new clothes. Thank you, thank you, thank you BIWI for ever starting this

Weighed in, weighed in.

9lbs down in 2 weeks

Just off to update spreadsheet.

Morning losers, 3lbs off for me so that's my holiday weight gone. Hurray! I tried to enter it on the spreadsheet but it wouldn't let me. Boo! I'll try later.

Good luck to veryone weighing today. Am expecting some FAB losses.

Snowing here so am going to have to get kids up quickly and walk to breakfast club then sprint to the station and see if there are any trains. I bloody hate snow.

4lbs off here - huzzah!!!

Woooo, well done losers < waves pompous vigorously>
4lb off here too (been boot camping for 12 days) so most of Xmas weight gone
Off to tesco now to get stuff for dd's cookery lesson today ( of course she forgot, of course it's snowing) chocolate blooming bread and butter pudding... Grrrr... Can't even eat any!

I lost three pounds in the end. Finally!

Well done everyone, some amazing losses.

anewdispensation i do beef bourguignon (often switch leeks/shallots for pearl onions and it's fine) and beef curry (again with the onion substitutes) - both delicious

sorry to those who have had difficult weekends i hope things improve x

1lb off for me... A small step in the right direction!

Off to update spreadsheet!
