jellibabe

Morning all,

My laptop is in for repair at the moment so only internet at work.

So this morning I weighed in at 12s 1lb - thats 8lbs off!! yippee!

Well done Lou!

I went to the pics on Saturday and resisted the popcorn and just had a diet coke. I had eggs and bacon for breakfast yesterday which was a nice treat and then a piece of chocolate cake... it was my nieces birthday and I had made the cake so couldnt really refuse but I still lost so im happy

Caroline, i joined up the 12 week plan but I am thinking now that it would of been a better idea to do the 28 days because you get food everyday unlike the last few weeks of the plans. I have to be honest, im struggling to get excited about the food because its so rich and I have no appetite at the moment but I assume thats because im now in ketosis.

Well done Jelli, thats a great loss and don't worry bout the chocolate. You could try adding some more protein and not having as much sauce if you are finding it quite rich.

I signed up to the 16 week after having a free sample. The good thing eith the programmes is if you don't like something they will exclude it from your other deliveries. The 28 day you get sent everything and then you are stuck with it all I think. Xx

Hi all, been reading this thread with great interest. I'm just about to re-embark on a low-carb WOE. Not just to lose weight but to benefit from the energy levels I used to have and to get rid of my terrible carb-crashes that I have at 2:00pm every day when I just want to sleep. I am a serious carb addict and love nothing more than a crisp butty! Not good.

Anyway, I was thinking about doing this 7 day intro box just to kick start ketosis and then move to cooking for myself. It' s just so expensive. Actually is the into box £49.95? If it is then that works out a couple of quid cheaper per day than the 28 day plan. How strange!
The reason for using the Go Lower pack is that it will ease me back into low carbing foods without flapping about what to eat and that I usually struggle to get into ketosis. Hopefully that won't be a problem if I stick to the plan.

What do you guys think? Is the Go Lower Intro Box a 7 day plan as it doesn't say this on the website.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi Craigy, I think the intro box was a special offer for people to try the food and you could only order it once. I don't think they still do it.
I signed up to the programme and payed upfront so I got a discount.
Its amazing how rubbish I felt eating carbs to what I do now. I had always thought that to get energy you needed to eat carbs but I'm much more lively now and actually feel healthy. Xx

Hi BB, thanks for the message. Do you know what this is then? Assumed it was the 7 day starter pack but not sure

Go Lower

Might order it if it is.

It certainly does look like it, the food is really good I highly recommend, I'm having sausage casserole for dinner tonight.
When you did low carb before what sort of things did you eat, did you balance it with complex carbs or did you do full atkins? Xx

I did full Atkins but my ex-wife used to do the cooking for me (she worked part-time and loved cooking). Even so I eventually got fed up of bacon and eggs, pretty much had eggs with everything. I was good for about 18 months and then started to slip with the old one won't hurt attitude! I've never fully regained all that weight and when we split up I lost about 2 stone in 3 weeks. Stress and anxiety do wonders for the metabolism (not too good on the emotions lol). I think I've said this earlier but it isn't just the weight loss I'm interested in, I miss the extra energy and zip I have. Always feeling lethargic these days and afternoons are a no no. People comment during meetings and I want to do something about it. The only veg I used to eat really were salads at lunch (would buy low carb sandwich fillers and just add salad leaves, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes the usual stuff).

I am using the gym regularly now and work really hard when there (50 mins cardio + use the power plate, no weights). Hopefully low carbing + so much exercise will do the trick and I will look and feel healthier

I'm sure it will definately get you back to feeling better, I'm still amazed by the difference.

Hi KJ2s
like CraigyD I am seriously contemplating doing GL can you tell what you had to pay for signing up for the 20 weeks, and do you have to pay the whole lot up front? Also what do you get for the 20 weeks
