Well I weighed myself and I was lying - I am 11st7 this morning!! So I guess that is still good!

Oops I pressed send to early! How are you getting on? Are you managing to cut out the dairy and is it making a difference?

Really well thanks - my body is feeling great although I seem to be stuck at the same weight! I weighed myself again on Thursday and 11st8 - it doesn't seem to matter what I do, there I stay! And other than starving myself, I am not sure what else I can do! I am going to weigh myself again this...

Yep - we can use telepathy or something... sure it will work ;-). To be honest I really don't have time to be doing anything else other than work at the moment, but I have just decided that it does make me feel good, so I am seriously just going to find the time! The good thing is that if my...

Yep it was certainly a good reminder! It was interesting really as I was eating a lot of wheat before and didn't have severe stomach cramps, but mild ones and bloating, so it was obviously a real shock to my system to have some after all this time and just proves that my body doesn't like it -...

Thanks RKM, yes I am fine thanks and back now. I managed to eat fairly well while I was away, but I did eat some fruit and a bowl of chips (couldn't help myself - they were so good!) and I ate quite a lot of cheese, but lots of salad! Unfortunately on the plane I had a packet of crisps and a...

Sorry yes I am ok thanks - just found out yesterday that my Grandfather passed away, so going to be busy organising everything as I have to go over to Spain to sort things out - so I expect I won't be on here for a while. How the diet goes while I am away I have no idea but I am going to try my...

First of all RKM - any results yet? Well, I didn't end up going swimming yesterday after all because my wonderful plan completely left out a vital piece of information which involved my TOTM!! There is absolutely no way I am able to swim for the first couple of days as I am extremely heavy, so...

Oh well done! Sounds like you are doing great! I agree about the fat breakfasts and can only really eat later on in the morning if I have that but that isn't always practical and I definitely get the nauseous problem as well - I had an onion omelette with salad and 2 rashers of bacon for lunch...

Well I weighed myself this morning and I am still 11st10!! A little bit frustrating seeing as I have still been very good, but I wonder whether the muffins were just a step too far! So, no more muffins and I will re-evaluate on Monday again and see where I am going with it all. However, one...

Well the muffins were delicious!! In fact, they were a bit too sweet so will put less xylitol in next time I think :-). The original recipe is from Patrick Holford's Cookbook and is for Apple and Almond Cake, but I just adapted it a bit as I didn't want to eat any other fruit just yet, hence the...

Thanks! Although you had a bad weekend, it does sound like it was controlled to a certain extent, in the way that you knew you were going to be naughty and have all the tools ready to be good again today so I think that is acceptable ;-). Thankfully I don't have any kids, so it makes it easier...

Well I have just weighed myself and I am 11st10 and body fat is 28.8% so there is definitely an improvement! Thank god for that! I am so so relieved that it is going in the right direction :D. I am going to weigh myself again on Friday and see how I am doing then :-)

Ha RKM - don't tell me that dark chocolate should be at room temperature... now I have taken it out the fridge and am looking forward to eating some at room temperature... and it is all your fault! ;):p I am sure I still won't like it though but I will give it a try just to be certain! Just...

Thanks RKM. It really is valuable having a little bit of support to keep you motivated! I am actually coping really well with eating more healthily (although I suppose I am not necessarily following all the Harcombe rules exactly). It has now been 8 days that I haven't had any chocolate or cake...

Thanks guys. I am just really not sure that this is doing anything for me with the whole weight loss thing! I have actually only lost 1lb in a week and my body fat has gone up again to 31.1%. The only thing that I think I have been doing 'wrong' I have just realised is that I haven't really been...

Well I am a little bit disappointed to be honest as it is now Day 6 and I am 12st exactly! Seeing as I started at 12st2 I don't really think that is anything to shout about! I am trying to tell myself that I suppose I am not really that overweight so I guess if you only need to lose one stone...

RKM - thanks, but Greek is the same - I think it is almost psychological! Anyway, I have now had my porridge and definitely feeling better - I actually put some raw oats in there as well this time which gave it a much better consistency so will do that in future as well :-). I have just...

Thanks guys :). Well I am still doing it and it is day 3! It actually hasn't been as hard as I thought and I don't think that my body is craving chocolate, but my taste buds and my brain, so I am managing (so far) to stop myself eating any! That is a surprise to me as I normally have such sugar...

Thanks everyone. I haven't given up yet (she says on only the beginning of Day 2 ;-))! Last night I had roasted butternut squash, onions, red pepper and cauliflower (who knew cauliflower would be so tasty cut up small enough to get it all crispy in the oven :-)) and homemade sausages and I only...

Exactly Lucielou! That is one of the things that I think are so good about this - the fact that you are actually eating healthily anyway (at least for the majority of the time!) and how it makes us all aware of what we are actually eating! There is absolutely no point in beating yourself up when...

Oh my god! I have already been struggling (shows just how awful I am!). Serious blood sugar dips already and feel really horrible - in fact my stomach is more bloated than usual :-(. Had to stand in the Post Office right next to a load of chocolate on special offer (can't resist a bargain...

Hi I am not usually a forum type person, but have decided that it looks nice here and may help me by giving me somewhere to record everything and get support and advice (particularly if I am going wrong somewhere ;-)). So, I know that I have problems with blood sugar, cravings and an...
