ooohhh i love a good graph :happy: very interesting - and motivating. i want to do one of my own now........old style with graph paper probably.

keto bread? i must get googling. thank you.

just being nosey at the replies, sorry. i personally think low carb would see me locked in a special institution after a while. i love bread. i love fruit. i love oats. i'd be interested to hear if anyone has actually cut out the majority of carbs from their diet and maintained their lower weight and energy.

i'm finding it easier by logging everything i eat properly - ie weight it on scales and work out the calories. don't start off with a really low unrealistic calorie goal as if you're starving hungry you'll feel miserable and that can really set you back. i've started cooking from scratch more so i know exactly what i'm…

right now i'm 182lb and still wearing UK 16 jeans. they're pretty baggy on me but i'm still too big for my size 14's.

cheesecake. and fresh baked cookies. gooooooeeeyyyyyy cookies :tongue:

such a transformation in a short time! you look amazing :smile:

log it and accept that what's done is done. learn from how you've felt since and ensure you're stocked with juice to head off a hypo.

amazing :smile:

i usually crave eggs and chocolate which i've always presumed is my body's way of saying stock up on protein and iron. i try not to overdo the chocolate.

^^ this. i've been vegetarian for 25+ yrs and i'm here, trying to lose weight so.....:frown: i struggle a lot to get enough protein in my diet and even with logging everything, my diet is still really carb heavy in regards to protein and fat.

following a serious accident, i had to give up work, gym etc but stoooopidly i didn't give up the way i was eating. still ate the same diet but moved way less. the pounds have added up over the last couple of years and now they have to go.

i love coffee. real coffee, not stuff with sickly sweet syrup, cream or sugar though. espresso or sometimes a macchiato. mmmmmm best put the mocha pot on :bigsmile:

very informative, thank you. i fear my protein intake IS too low and i'm trying to increase it. is it harmful to my body or weight loss?

no kitties in the house and i've changed no products that i use or wear. no one else can smell it and its not as if its coming from my sweat pores, its just stuck in my nose! i'm not doing a low carb thing but i have cut down a lot from the amount of carbs i was eating. i'm vegetarian and trying to make sure i have plenty…

thank you for posting this and explaining it so clearly. i'm no where near maintenance - about 35lb away from where i would like to be - but i feel like a penny had dropped now regarding weight loss and the fluctuations on the scale that occur :flowerforyou:

is beyond meat vegan? i know quorn isn;t but i don;t think beyond meat is available in the UK.

i feel your pain!! i've only lost 7lb in 6 weeks and i'm kinda 'stuck'. i started on 1200 cal but upped it to 1350-1400 last week hoping it would help. no joy yet. its really frustrating.

glad it's not just me!! i sooooo want to be soldering this morning but i have way too much cleaning to get done. put it off for too long so today is the day.....spurred on that cleaning will but a few calories :tongue:

i'm a uk crafter (silversmith/beads) but i'm not a dr who fan i'm afraid. it used to scare me when i was a child :blushing:

i can't see your after pic, sorry.

looks like he's just messing around. gets people talking i suppose though for when he has some new stuff out.

good for you :smile: i only have this problem near the bakery section. fresh bread is my weakness. chocolate, crisps etc i always buy lots of for my teenage son but i never really crave them. i recently bought a bread maker so now i avoid the bakery bit and don't even see the gorgeous pastries on offer. plus, i always eat…

i suppose you have been tested for diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) as thats the common one. i have diabetes insipidus. this is nothing at all to do with sugar, insulin or diet. i have a tumor on my pituitary gland which means i don't make the anti-diuretic hormone needed to retain any water at all. i was pee'ing every 5…

my favourite style of food :smile: i would be interested to hear of any recipe suggestions for vegetarian mediterranean cooking if anyone has any please?

really pleased for you :smile: i hope one day to be able to post a similar story.
