As they say in South Africa... Oy, oy, oy, oy, oy!!! Today I'm the same unremarkable weight as the unremarkable weight that I was yesterday :p The last 5 days dairy free that I did worked wonders. Well, a 700 g/1.5 lb loss anyway, which for my age and gender is pretty awesome. This time I must have forgotten my Wonder Suit…

Hi @Wheatless I'm sorry you're not seeing a difference yet. It would be just so amazing to find The Secret wouldn't it? We'd all stick to it firmly 99% of the time then and lose all the weight we want to *sigh*. Hi @Kitn well, whatever it is, it's working for you so I'm really happy to hear that. I want to start taking my…

That sounds really delicious. I've been buying the 72% Ghana dark chocolate to top a sugar-free coconut slice that I have as a treat sometimes, but this sounds like a wonderful substitute, and high fat too!

Wow! Major respect to you @PasPlus. Reading your first post, it flitted across my mind that you could be seeking praise for eating so little and I didn't know how to reply to that and didn't comment. Now I can fully see where you're coming from and I only have the desire to send you a massive hug of friendship and support,…

Tee hee! You're forgiven Goat. I was text book perfect yesterday as in no dairy and lost a rather pathetic 200g this morning. If it was 200 new g's I'd be happy but I've been putting on weight steadily over the past week and a bit for no reason that I can see. I'll post a section of my spreadsheet and you'll see the Weight…

No worries @happylife, we can all set our own dates. It's more about what happens than all doing it on the same day/s.

Hi Everyone - 9:47pm Tuesday for me and I've had a good day. I suddenly realised just before my second meal that my fat for the day was really low but I have heard tell that as long as your carbs are low you're still in ketosis. (I do keto, take no notice if you're normal low carb!). I might try to remember to take a blood…

If all of that fails (and I sincerely hope that's not the case), I used to just get regular reflux - though it could get bad at times. I was more than 2 months into LC before it truly went away, and I had it again last night because we ate too close to bed time. Anyway, my solution that works is about half a teaspoon of…

Welcome on board @steffiejoe I wonder how coconut cream would be with your French onion ingredients? It would be a bit runnier, but should be tasty.
-
@Foamroller thank you so much for your input and the quotes, all of that is really helpful. @Wheatless Yeah, whoopsies happen ;) I wish we all had a magic button, wouldn’t it be wonderful? I know for a fact that you’ll be able to have dairy and fruit during maintenance. @Kitn Well you did have a birthday, and they only…

Well I have to be the sharpest tool in the shed - not! We usually eat around noon for the first time each day. Today we were out and had still not eaten by 3pm so went to a cafe. I got my usual Caesar salad and it was only after it arrived that I saw the shreds of parmesan cheese in it. Far too small to pick the pieces…
-
Thanks @wabmester and @Goat. And congrats @Sajyana, that's actually brilliant news!
-
Have there been any overall conclusions drawn from this Challenge, or was it just a one-person/one-result thing? Which I presume is what the 'n=1' thing is that I've seen everywhere but don't know the origins or meaning of ;)

We had to have our wedding photos restored, they'd all gone reddish purple, and we ended up getting this as a large print behind perspex to go on our wall, so there's a few photos here. My 'veil' was a hood attached to a lace, sleeveless overlay, and the lace sleeves were attached to the dress itself. We married on 4th…
-
@Ellen Thank you, I love to sound Aussie – I always thought that being a Pom (as Brits are called here) was sooo boring. Not because they are, my dear British friends, but because it was all I knew and *anything* else was more interesting ;) I was probably a ‘proper’ Brit and my husband is almost a Londoner in accent and…
-
Well here I go, checking in for Day One... Weight 83.1 kgs / 182.2 lbs. I was slowly increasing in weight during last week (when I was back on dairy after 5 days without). Coincidence? I don't know. Which is why I'm spending today and the next 4 finding out ;) If this goes well and I lose again, and the bloated feeling…
-
I just stir my coconut milk into my coffee but I'm sure it would whip up if that is an issue for you. If it doesn't, then coconut cream perhaps would? The cream is obviously thicker and richer in fat than the milk. Both can be used to make delicious coconut curries with any meat of your choice - prawns/shrimp, chicken, red…
-
Welcome Wheatless <3 Tomorrow's a good day to begin ;) And thank you Goat, that pretty much sums up the way this one started for sure. I have 2¼ hours left to eat dairy if I wish (but I don't).
-
Ha ha at your changing origins! David is from Middx so I tend to pick up his accent a bit and I've had people ask me if I'm from near London. LOL at British Asian being considered the accent now. We find that we don't notice 'other nationalities' (I'm well aware I'm one, as a non-Indigenous Aussie) when they sound Aussie,…

@NewSue Well done on the 10k steps. Mine’s set for 10k but I’m happy if I go past 5k. I’ve only done 10k a couple of times ;) 71k + in a week is awesome! @Kitn Happy Birthday you young thing you! And yes, not many people get a Princess as their gift do they? So sorry about all the cramps etc and truly hope it’s stopped…
-
@Octobubbles fully understood. I wasn't sure about running this concurrently, but I'm not officially doing the ZC challenge and *do* want to do this one, so thought I'd offer it publicly. I've no idea if it will run longer than the 5 days and anyone can start and stop any time they please. I'm just interested in sharing…
-
It was worth ruling out, and I'm glad to hear that you're moving through that. I hope that you get the cause sorted out soon and can be free of the anxious feelings and jitters - it's a terrible thing :(
-
What level of anxiety and jitters are you suffering? I'm going to come out of left field here and ask if what you're experiencing are actually anxiety/panic attacks. Do you go to sleep easily at night? Or do you get the shakes every time you start to relax? I began having 'floating anxiety attacks' soon after my first…

Squeeeee Happy Dance @Rebecca I'm just so thrilled for you! I was worried during the time you were quiet (after the op), but kept you in my thoughts and prayers. So excited to hear your news!!! @Janice I can well understand your pride in those videos, they really gave me goosebumps. There was one with a lady on a canoe and…
-
@Kitn those videos are sooo beautiful. It would be amazing to see all of those things.
-
Welcome @cdpits My birthday is July as well - 18th. @Karlotta All the best with the Meaty Challenge! I'd like to be doing it, but I think it would be difficult until I can eat a wider range of meats. I'm going to do my best quietly on the sidelines though. Oh Rebecca!!! I didn't see you there - maybe I was typing as you…
-
I don't believe it's possible on your phone, you just need to keep your eyes shut while you're there. I'll post a pic in the 50s thread that you'll enjoy ;)
-
Congratulations Carly, I'm so thrilled for you - and for the reputation of LC with your endo as well, but mostly for the happiness and health that you have.
-
Good on ya ChairmanWow, I like a brave man. You would not *believe* what my other half gets up to, like coming to my workplace dressed in a short skirt, high heeled shoes and fish net stockings on one occasion! So now you know what us more experienced ladies get up to in our own thread o:) Ah thanks Jane, I couldn't…
