This has turned into a excellent thread. My choice to post some of the bitching my negative inner voice does, seems to have really resonated with some people and alot of the advice here is golden. Just so you have a bit more background. I was 16st 7lb, I got down to 11st 9lb, mum died and I crept back up to 14st over two…

Thank you for all the replies. I knew typing this out I would get a few "grow up", "get on with it", "just do it" types of replies. To all of those, I am glad that mentality worked for you..it does not work for everyone. Being honest and showing your weakness is hard as you will get judgement. Thanks for all those that…

Gosh I did not expect such a wealth of responces. Thank you all for your input and prespective. What I wrote this moring came from a bad space. I have been run down recently and I was wondering how you all dealt with the "inner dialogue" ...now I know. Most of the time I am not like this, most of the time I conquer my…

Thank you for the replies. I am reading and trying to take it on board.

Babeinthemoon that intreseting I had not considered looking at it from the weekly view. Thanks for the link.

This!

You are not accountable for actions or feeling of others. They get to choose how they act and how they feel. If you go and ask for vegi stuff and they dont have it, just say oh sorry I can't order anything. If your family make a big deal, just politely explain. If they carry on. Tell them to drop it as it's a night that…

Not to bad thanks. I am now in week 5 so my first rotation. I did not lose any weight in week 2 or 4 so I am instrested to see what happens this week.

Tell everyone that you suffer from food addiction and that it's not helpfull. You would not sit a alchoholic next to a free bar and expect them to be fine would you?

Do you mean the bode app I know of it but dont use it myself

Hi there, I'll try and help A meal is the same size as snacks? - I find it better to make the snacks a bit smaller and make the meals a bit bigger, but thats personal preferance. So for a 1500 calorie day I would do B - 300 S - 200 L 300 S 200 D - 500 The calories don’t seem to add up to 1200 or 1500 either day … and I…

I found this with my wife a while back. In the end I had to seperate my desire for her to be health from my own deseire to get fit (wanted to do it togther). So I started getting fitter and lossing weight. I would say positive things about ME ONY like how much better I felt, my energy etc. I got envolved with a running…

I have been on the classic cycle for 3 1/2 weeks now and by the end of my 3rd wk I have lost 5lb. I am a 33 year old male, 5' 6" tall and now at 185 lb. So i started this CTL at 190lb.

Hi there, To answer you questions - What does your typical low carb day look like? (what kind of protein & fat do you eat with each meal) B- You can have carb with breakfast so I have 50 gram wholegrain ceral, 100ml soya milk, 200ml fruit juice S - 50g cooked chicken thigh with 15g penut butter wrapped in romaine lettece…

Thanks Lilylee757. Seems this group is a bit slow. How are you getting on with CTL and your own journey?

I am doing the Classic Cycle and it's working for me

When I was 22 I choose to stop drinking. It was a health choose and I was also noticing I was drinking way too much and getting into trouble when I did so. My "friends" at the time rejected me as I was "no longer fun". It hurt but at least I got to find out real quick if they were good freinds or not. A real friend…

My thoughts and prayers are with you

3 weeks in here so yes I plan on sticking around and chatting with the people in here

My wife and I have been on the classic cycle of the CTL for the last 3 weeks, just entered wk 4. Afetr a rocky start we are getting used to it. I live in Milton Keynes, UK and it's nice to chat with others doing the CTL

I have been on this classic carb cycle from Chris Powell and have not lost anything for 1 & 1/2 weeks. In fact I gained 0.4lb but I am in this for the long haul. I know I feel better in myself and I have seen my fitness increase so sod the scale. I am getting fitter

Well done, its a great feeling, itsn't it

I occasionaly shave my chest and regularly do my under arms. It's all about your personal preferance for your own body image. Also if you have a partner they might have a preferance that you can go with if you choose to.

Milton Keynes, Bucks Please feel free to add me. I am doing the Carb Cyling classic from Chris Powell (Also I have a dairy allergy, so I have lots of alternative foods)

I have been dairy free for years as I have a allergy to it. I use soya milk (alpro) and soya spread (pure). I am from the UK. I have not found a good cheese alternative however sheep and goats cheese may work for you. Soya cream also works well for when a recipe callls for cream. There are many forms of milk out there, try…
