Luv yas all – which is Aussie for ‘love y’all’. @Ellen yes, of course keep your butter. I don’t think you’ll be alone there. It’s only 5 days so hopefully not too many folks will get miserable enough to need company ;) I certainly saw a difference in 5 days, and hope it shows itself for everyone in that length of time. How…

I wrote it somewhere around here yesterday, but can't remember where. Or, if you're a brave man, it's on page 11 of the 'Over 50s Ladies' thread'. I double dare you to go find it >:)

When I open a can of coconut milk I transfer it into a tupperware-style shaker that has a lid and a pouring spout (that seals). It keeps in the fridge fine for up to 4 days, and I've always used it up before then anyway. @Risi I'm so sorry this thread has been diverted into a discussion about dairy. I hope it wasn't…

Thank you so much everyone for your input - thoughts, facts, knowledge and everything! @camtosh - I spent my *entire* life with clogged sinuses, drippy nose and regular sore throats. Until I gave up milk. Not saying you consume milk, but that dairy could well be causing your sinus issues. So for the challenge ... in my…

Carbs have been *mostly* under 15 as promised, often much lower, only twice above (a 22 and a 29). 1st Apr 84.6 kgs 8th Apr 83.5 (down 1.1 kgs / 2.4 lbs) 15th Apr 83.8 (up 300 grams on last week) 22nd Apr 83.1 (down 1.5 kgs / 3.3 lbs on start weight) 1st May 82.6 (down exactly 2 kgs / 4.4 lbs on start weight) Having…

Sounds like my eldest son, he's lived in 2 houses as a child and 2 houses as an adult - all 4 of them fit within a 200 yard by 50 yard rectangle!

What an inspiring story (yes, already!) I'm so excited to see what you can achieve with LC. And a special hello from just over the 'river' - I'm in Perth, Australia.
-
Oh Twibbly!!! Mothers can be strange creatures, I had an odd one myself [if there was a fist shaking emote I'd put it here]. And did you go to the U of W in the end? I love all accents, and cultural differences and I think we all have a lot to learn about others. The accents help us know who to chat to so that we can learn…

Come on over to the Dairy Free thread and post what you're doing community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10151049/five-days-dairy-free-4th-to-8th-may-and-beyond-if-it-works It's completely fine to set your own dates.

Hi Mary, it's good to see you again, I was only thinking of you today. I'm glad that you had a lovely time with your grandies. So sorry to hear about the weight gain. It's really unfair that it's 10 times as easy to put on as to lose. It would be great if you join the challenge. I started up a new thread for it if you want…
-
@EarthAmber you an make your own nut milks with a decent blender. Soak the nuts for an hour or so, then throw the nuts and their water into the blender and blend really well. Add more water while you continue blending. About 1/4 cup of nuts makes a litre (or 1½ pints) of milk. You can either use it as it is, or strain it…

@Kirkor do you eat butter? Seems to me he's saying pastured organic butter (which is what I eat) is fine. HWC too, though I'm not suggesting cream be included in the diet for this 5 days, but there seems some need for clarity on whether to include butter. In my opinion, people can choose for themselves, but I ask that they…
-
Awesome, thanks Kirkor! Here's a recipe recommended by my D-I-L who's an awesome cook. It says to grind the herbs and cook it in a thermomix, but I'm sure we can use other methods. 100°C is about 210°F recipecommunity.com.au/main-dishes-meat-recipes/lime-and-lemongrass-chicken/71328 OK, just realised it needs more…

Hi Ellen <3 You can change your mind as much as you like - isn't that a woman's prerogative? Used to be anyway ;) I haven't joined the meat challenge either, though I will quietly do my best outside of having to report what I achieve. I'm sorry to hear about your break-out. That's what happens when you're a beautiful young…
-
To FIT_Goat - I found one quote from you that I include below (after asking you to come here and post) :* Lots of quoting from other threads, that may be of interest (and I hope the quoters don't mind)… Paleo recipes are dairy free.
-
I hear you Octo. Luckily it was on my 6th day (so my 5 days were over) when I was half way through an omelette lunch hubby had made me, and realised it had *lots* and lots of grated cheddar in it. I hadn't given it a thought, and David was the cook. Thank goodness it was Day 6 and not sooner!
-
Would you, *could* you, pop into the new Five Days Dairy Free thread and post a couple of sentences about your experiences with cheese please Goat? As you're the only one I've seen saying for sure that you have found cheese to be anti-weight-loss it may be encouraging for those taking part. Thank you whether you can/do or…
-
What a dobber Wheatless!!! ;) But I guess I am. I was hesitant to start a thread because there's already the Meatless May Challenge, but I'll do it - if anyone wants to do both they can, of course. I'll go right now and start it - please meet me there everyone who wants to join.

'MFP' means My Fitness Pal, and more specifically in this case your food diary. Are you able to make your diary visible for others to look at? Then we can get an idea of the quantities you're eating of things and where the problem areas may lie. I don't know how carb-filled (or not) your lacto free milk is, for example. To…

I put peanut butter on cold boiled eggs last night. I haven't touched peanut butter since going LC in late January. Must have morphed the love it was getting here without having read the thread!

Welcome home <3

I'm planning on doing dairy free next Monday to Friday, do you want to join me Risi? I seemed to lose weight faster during my 5 days without dairy, but whether it's a 'real thing' or not, I still don't know. I figure it won't hurt to try. Not sure if butter should be excluded or not though - does anyone reading this have…

Hello Beautiful Friends – yesterday was a blur, with my 2 darling granddaughters in the arvo and ‘sitting’ them at their house for the evening. David has late starts this week (4.45pm) so here I am at last with a cup of coffee, fattened up with coconut milk (the coffee, not me ;)) to catch up on the best thread <3 @Kitn It…
-
LOL now that's funny! But that's not. I hope it's all a fading memory by now. I'm glad that you do too. I'm in that little dot on the lower left named Perth.

Here are the instructions for HIDING YOUR CALORIE COLUMN IN YOUR FOOD DIARY... If you use Chrome, Firefox or Opera, you'll need to install the Stylish extension in the following manner... Click on the ONE correct link for the browser you are using Mozilla Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/stylish/…

Not saying you're wrong by any means Kirkor, but I felt as if I had a bit of data after a 5-day break from all dairy. Obviously longer would be far better, and I intend to do that.
-
@Kitn - did you notice that you managed to save yourself when you tripped? Is that a new experience for you? It was for me last time I tripped. @Everyone - I'll write more later. We're about to start our day and get out and do the errands. It's raining here!!! 2 months into Autumn and it's been several weeks since we got…

Totally, yes! Thank you Karlotta for starting this thread, and yes, our moderators are amazing, giving so freely of their time, knowledge and friendship - thank you one and all <3

It's hard for us to get equivalents isn't it Minties? But I just use full-fat cream and I'm sure that would be the same thing.
-
Yes, most definitely. I didn't even have a big loss to start with and have had many, many stalls and some 'bouncing around' down, up, up, stall and then a biggish drop. Sometimes then another gain. But since 23rd January, somehow or another, I've lost 6 kgs (13 lbs). And although that doesn't sound a lot, the difference in…
