Sorry to hear that koko - hot bath might help? It's been a pretty normal Monday here I'm sorry to report, the kicker will be the next two days - I can see myself getting jolly sick of it on Weds!

BitOutOfPractice · 22/05/2017 21:57

Pleased to report that now I've been taking weight loss seriously this past week that I've had a good loss and I'm now a stone down. Still several stone to go but it's a start Grin

Just preparing my biller proof coffee now

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 07:06

Marmalade that's excellent. See what you can achieve when you join the Best Thread on Mumsnet (TM)

I don't know what that coffee is though Brew

Sorry, should say bullet proof. Espresso, butter and coconut oil whizzed up in a blender. Give it a try!

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 07:58

Erm I think I'll give that a miss!

Morning all, had cream cheese crepes for tea last night, decided to bin off the pasta after all.

10.12 this morning so one lb down which is fairly standard for me at this point in the week so not had any magical egg losses yet.

will be having egg muffins for lunch and then either mozzarella and basil oil scrambled eggs or the same in an omelette.

I was doing the 30 day shred but it has disappeared off youtube so now I am doing some "dirty 30" video by popsugar that is still on there. I miss Jillian. Sad

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 23/05/2017 08:13

30 Day Shred has disappeared from YouTube? Woe! I do have 2 DVDs of it somewhere in the house but I can't find either of them.

I'm having a relaxed week. There's too much cake in the house for anything else. Will get back on the wagon on Monday!

QuimReaper · 23/05/2017 09:36

Marmalade wow, well done! I only started BPC yesterday, I didn't go for the butter but found it delicious. Seriously BOOP, you have to whizz it into a frenzy with a milk frother but it comes out like a creamy latte, it's magic.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 23/05/2017 10:13

Is it weird that I kind of like the sound of bulletproof coffee?

Had an extra weigh in this morning and I have not lost anything yet. Fast day today though, but we shall see how it works out. I'm on evening shifts this week, and from Sunday I'm on nights, which always screw up my eating. I really want to try to eat sensibly though.

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 10:46

But why would I want to full my coffee with so many calories? I'm confooooooooosed!

OP posts:
BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 10:47

And I realise how ridiculously and quaintly 20th century I sound with my calorie counting obsession Grin

OP posts:
HairsprayBabe · 23/05/2017 10:58

Because the coffee replaces a meal BOOP so instead of breakfast you have a big coffee that fills you up till lunch.

2 tsp of fat is approx 80 cals, 1 tbsp of fat is approx 100 cals.

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 11:34

Oh I seeeeee! Sorry. Bit slow on the uptake today.

Where, for the love of all things holy, can I buy smoked tofu?

OP posts:
HairsprayBabe · 23/05/2017 11:41

I think I have seen it in waitrose or in morrisons BOOP

What do you need it for?

BitOutOfPractice · 23/05/2017 11:57

Guess what, I'm doing a hairy Dieters recipe. Like a BLT and I need to marinate some smoked tofu. Won't be anywhere near a Waitrose till Saturday and I want it today dammit

Does the bpc work as part of a healthy eating plan or only for reduced calorie? Also, do you think it would work iced or would the coconut oil just glob up?
Been for my session at the gym this am, delivered a lunch for 50 & finished cleaning my oven 😇
Giant pile of ironing & a catch up on the real housewives (high brow viewing) this afternoon I think, roast chicken & salad on the menu tonight.

HairsprayBabe · 23/05/2017 12:30

BPC only really works as a meal replacement on LCHF, otherwise you are just adding extra pointless cals into your diet.

I imagine iced the oil and butter would just glob right back up so would be lumpy at the very least.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 23/05/2017 13:10

I've drunk a bpc cold (not great at remembering I have hot drinks!!), the foam on the top goes all hard Envy

Weight up a smidge today, but something resembling a period has arrived so I'm gonna guess that is why. Just had quorn "bolognese" (not even slightly resembling actual ragu. My ancestors would be most disappointed Grin ) for my lunch.

Marmalade85 · 23/05/2017 13:17

I have the bpc as a meal replacement, so just have that and then nothing until lunch. On day two of it now. Pret salad and popcorn for lunch and protein shake for dinner. Coffee and tea throughout the day.

Marmalade85 · 23/05/2017 13:18

Oh and a LOT of water.

Sunshineandlaughter · 23/05/2017 13:18

11.9.0 this am despite eating really badly last couple of days. I've been swimming loads which I think is really helping. Determined to get to 11,8 this week so I break the 11,9 barrier I seem to not be able to get past. Slowly but surely. I'm going old fashioned eating normally but well and upping the exercise!

Well done to all the losers this week. Not long until the end of may - let's all go for a final push!

HairsprayBabe · 23/05/2017 13:27

Just won something at work, the lady organising it knows I am off treat food atm so she bought me a bunch of flowers Flowers very happy with that!
