Flibberty....oh yes the self appointed diet experts, 'low carb is unhealthy blah blah blah'. Well I've found something that works for me so do bore off...well that's what I'd say if I was braver! But I just say I had a well woman check a couple of years ago after low-carbing for 10 months and I was in rude health: cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, hormones, all perfect. Whereas my low fat, low sugar friend of the same age has to take statins everyday. Ooh the brownies sound lovely, but I would also struggle to stop at one.
Pinot...3lbs off and getting into the 16s is fantastic, well done! I feel your pain on the wotsits too. Rewarding yourself with food is a hard habit to break, but it's so worth it when you're getting those kind of results. Sounds like yesterday was a tough day. I hope one day we can echo Kate Moss with "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" when we've cracked this thing.
Harder...good on you for getting back on it and 2.5lbs off is a great start. 9lbs off is still 9lbs less than you were and only another 5lbs to your first stone. Sometimes you've just got to do what feels right for you. So if you just use SW as a guide, you can tweak it to suit you. Giving up bingeing is one of the hardest things.
Fairfax...congrats on the new stair time, you've knocked almost half a minute off! And we'll done on the 2lbs off, bet it feels great getting down to the next stone bracket, I hope to do that this week.
Orlanda...I think staying regular is one of the harder parts of low carbing, but as long as you drink lots and lots of water and up your green veg intake, you should be fine. Apologies if TMI, but I've found I go slightly less often, but get rid of more when I go. So instead of 1-2 times a day, it's 1-2 times in two days. Having said that, I imagine everyone is different. I did have diarrhoea quite a bit in the first 10 days too, bit it always takes a week or two to settle down and for my body to get used to the shock. You won't really be able to have the porridge and pulses, but just eat lots of non-root veg. I also have the odd carrot, but keep to v low amounts of anything rooty. It definitely works, as your body has to burn fat for its fuel instead of using the carbs first. Cream contains less lactose than milk, which is a natural sugar, so it's better if you're low carbing. I have my drinks black anyway, so that part hasn't been to difficult for me. Calcium, there's plenty in the cheese and cream and also in veg like broccoli. The reason I find it the best way of eating for me is because it really gets rid of most of my sugar cravings. Some people use sugar alternatives like Splenda, but I don't because I am a sugar addict and I think cold turkey is the only way for me. I've read that the brain and body have a similar response to it as real sugar, so insulin is still released as if you'd eaten normal sugar for instance. Diabetes is one of the things I worry about when I'm eating lots of carbs so, I think for me, it's best to abstain completely. Well done on getting those 2lbs back off!
Holy...you've done so well exercising with your condition, you are an inspiration. It shouldn't be so hard that it destroys you though, can you try to take it a little easier on yourself? I know it's a difficult balance as you also want to see results. I love your snail meme, forward is forward should be our catchphrase!
Wobbly...sorry you've had a tough week, it's good that you're recognising your triggers though and not reaching for the biscuits for comfort. In reality they only make you feel better for a few seconds and then far shittier than before. I get really frustrated too when I hop on the scales and I feel loads slimmer, but they're the same. It will come off if we keep going and we just have to KOKO. Good that we can come on here for a whinge, at least we all understand how it feels. You are doing so well, but you have my impatient gene. As holy would say, forward is forward.
Gator..well done on on 1 1/2lbs off...despite the cookies 
. I bet the loose jeans feel lovely, you'll have to treat yourself, or do you already have smaller ones in the wardrobe? Brilliant that you have your first stone off. I'm yet to get under the 250lbs, but should in next week or two.
Narcs...it's horrid when you're being really good and it doesn't come off. I would echo Orlanda, with could TOTM be approaching? My weight loss really slowed down then. Or it could just be your body adjusting and you'll have a great week next week. Just try to stay away from any comfort eating and I promise it will show on the scales soon.
Malmsey...you've got some great goals there. They should keep you busy for a bit. The BMI thing is a good one, because there are lots of categories to get through before we get below the magic 25.
I've had an ok week, still not really doing what I should with exercise though. I just feel a bit tired and lethargic all the time at the mo and can't face anything but the walking. I'm hoping I'll be more motivated when I've lost a bit more. I'm out with the girls tonight, so hoping I don't undo my hard work this week when I get on the scales tomorrow. On plan with eating, but I'm definitely in the mood for a few proseccos or vodka slimline tonics. Chin chin! Have a good weekend everyone and remember.....Forward is forward!
