************ Carboholics Anonymous Reunited ***** a belated week 2 ************

[GythaOgg]

Your wish is my command Sally

I had a day off on Mon but am back with a vengeance.

GythaOgg???? Are you another froggy namechange....

Good name though...

Aaaaaarrrggggghhhhhh.

Forgot to bloody change back.
Damn
Damn
Damn

You are simply confusing me now! But at least I know that if any new name pops up on the carboholics threads it must be froggy

Is this better?

Well I am totally confused - but that is not unusual!

Hi there all. Well had my day OFF on Monday but was back on plan yesterday. Unfortunately have gained nearly a kilo - my own fault.

Another proper day on plan today will hopefully help.

And am planning a tidying/sorting day at home (although am just back from helping to take DS's class swimming). Just had a late b'fast of ham and cream cheese and am off to drink some water and take my supplements. Feeling a bit "bunged up" too.

Any nice meals planned this week? We are having ommlette and salad tonight and steak and salad tomorrow night.

Oh God. Guess what I just had for lunch?

A cheese sandwich.

Yes.

I didn't even think. Just made it and ate it. It wasn't even nice.

Doh!

Salmon and mayo for breakfast.

Feta salad for lunch....

Not nearly enough water though

(Slinks back into thread after unauthorised absence of over 4 months) Erm hello all, can I come back? The wagon disapeared before Christmas and it has taken a rather depressing experience in an M&S changing room at the weekend to get me to go looking for it. Have put about 3/4 stone back on and rather too many inches.(Having said that it still remains a mystery to me what shape woman M&S have in mind for their clothes...)

Anyway back on straight and narrow.

So - Mushrooms - good or bad? - the carb sites seem to differ. Just grilled a large field mushroom for lunch with melted cheese.

Yo Crotchety, long time no see.

Mushrooms okay. I've got them at 2g per 100g.

Doh is right GOF!

Been good since though. Having an ommlette for dinner. Also haven't had enough water - off to rectify that now.

Strawb even when we're thin we'll probably still be the wrong shape...The waists are always far too big and hips far too small...

And thanks Froggie - I looked at several internet carb counters and 100g mushrooms came in at anywhere between 0.4 and 5.0. So I'll go with your 2 as a happy medium.

I have lost 8lbs since last week . Bit dodgy possibly as I only weigh myself on my mums ancient scales that usually weigh a few pound under but at least they are consistently inaccurate iyswim. Judging by what the GPs scales put me at a few days before, and the difference between now and last wed I reckon I'm approx 10s 12/13. OK...not exactly scientific but it will do me. No inches lost though Which is what really matters.

Wow.....well done

Oooh I wish Gythafrogperson .

How have you done that Ormirian? Is it induction?

Yes. Just induction. Cutting out wine always helps me too. But mainly I think that I have a mild wheat intolerance and it makes me bloat and retain fluid. Most of the time i don't notice it - until I stop eating it.

Yes - 5 days back on sort-of-induction and the bloaty feeling has gone for me too. I don't think I am wheat intolerant but I had just got used to that feeling really. I find it difficult to avoid the wine if DH opens a bottle though - do you think it does hold things up?

I'm afraid it does for me. Mostly because I find it hard to stick to just one glass once DH has opened the bottle. I am sticking to gin and diet tonic atm if I want a drink. I didn't order any wine from Mr Sainsbury this week to make it easier. 2 BBQs to go to this weekend though.....

Could someone please give a link to a sensible carb counter that doesn't measure things in cups (aargh Atkins site)?

Hanging my head in shame here. Not been good at all.

In fact just had half a packet of salt & vinegar crisps. Only reason I didn't have the whole packet is that DS spotted them!

And I'm having pasta for dinner.

And I'm out tomorrow night. With wine and food and dessert.

But I hereby pledge to get back on track on Saturday.

Omrian - well done.
