Low carb high fat is great because it stops the hunger, I set Mfp to 10% carbs, 60% fat and 30% protein. Knowing it's fine to put double cream in your coffee and have butter on veg is so different from high carb low fat where you can't wait for next meal and think about food all day long. Add me as a friend if you like,…

Clotted cream is lovely stuff, can eat off the spoon or add to coffee. You just have to change your way of thinking about fat.

Fitbit charge, had the Ultra before but that doesn't have Bluetooth - keeps me motivated

Found 2 bones in my forearms, must be losing from top down!

Great nsv

Sounds good. Thank you

Can you buy Lindt chocolate in Australia or Green & Blacks, they both do 70% cocoa +

Hello x

I'm in! Had full fat Greek yogurt with a measure of whey protein powder (banoffee flavour) for breakfast, mid afternoon had 3 eggs scrambled with butter and cheese and 2 burgers. Can't eat any more but calories are too low. How do you ladies get the numbers up? Iris

Before I start I'm really concerned about constipation did read that magnesium citrate is good - does anyone use this? I have kept my carbs under the recommended Mfp limit for a while but find if I have any bread it makes me 'look for food'. I read Eat Fat by Dr Trudi Deakin and that says on Mfp set carbs to 10%, protein…

Thanks GrannyMayOz x

Terrific and look younger too

I'm 59 and considering low carb - glad I found you ladies, I will start soon and I will need your expertise

you can add me although I'm probably old enough to be your granny :)

Happy to have any age 55 or older ladies to add me www.fitbit.com/user/22PT5B

It happens but starting again next meal is what counts, we can do this - eventually

got my charge on Jan 6th, www.fitbit.com/user/22PT5B

Goodness we are all doing the same aren't we. Wish I could blame someone else but it's me that puts the food in my mouth. Need to think first, eat second, add me if you want. Iris

My name's Iris I'm in the UK, 59, you can add me too

walk to work and wearing the dogs out trying to get my 10,000 steps. Like to knit and just started learning to play the ukulele.

thanks for that, having a better day today

Grams - get more numbers for your money 2oz or 50g - no brainer

I'm doing this too, but doing 2 normal days then a fast day. Started about 6 weeks ago and have lost a pound a week, have to admit I find the fast days easier than the other days because I can eat for 'England' those days. It does teach you though that you don't get hungrier and hungrier it just comes in waves which you…

it's not written in stone that calorie counting begins the minute you get out of bed, and ends when you get back in. Have you tried starting your count at 18.00 - that way you can eat well in the evening and have less during the following morning/afternoon.

well done, you must be very pleased :)

i have just started protein shakes to get my levels up, think that more protein must be better than too many carbs

yes, get one it's fun to get those numbers up. Get money for your birthday and treat yourself. Worn mine every day since 5 Jan, only forgot to put it on once and then remembered after an hour. Consider it on a level with my mobile phone - luxury but necessary!

Has anyone else heard of Zoe Harcombe and her diet, she says much the same thing as Gary, it's all to do with insulin being released when you consume carbs, and that causes fat when eaten with carbs to be stored, check out The Harcombe Diet.

I need to start got c25k on my ipod but unused at the moment, got 5k race for life end of june, but it just keeps raining! know I'll look a prat running/jogging but a wet one no way - could do with a buddy to run with....
