I did about four weeks before Christmas & it was ok, first few days I missed it but then I got used to it. And once I got in to ketosis I wasn't hungry & it just worked for me. Haven't missed bread since I stopped eating it on Thursday but some mashed potato was teasing me on Friday night. I am hoping this is what gets me to goal now

Well done, you made super choices with what could have been a very naughty meal
Thanks x

I think my potato addiction is the main thing that would stop me doing low carb, lol. I stopped having bread a while back. I enjoy nice warm bread as a treat, but only eat it occassionally, whereas potatoes I have every day! Maybe there's a potatoholics anonymous I could join?

Lol, glad I gave you a giggle. I'm exactly the same - I suspect I have a minor gluten intolerance, so find bread makes me feel a bit yuck, but can eat potatoes in all forms until the cows come home (but mash is my main weakness!).

Lexie can I ask what you eat when you're low carb? A vague idea of breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks? Not sure I could manage without bread though. Well done on the meal today, sounds like it went well.

Get rid of it.. I cleared our cupboards and fridge yesterday - gave OH 24 hrs to eat what he wanted - the rest went in the bin or to my Mums!

Protein mainly!!
Are you not on mfp? My diary is on there. Anyway in case not
Breakfast is normally something like bacon egg & mushrooms
Lunch is meat & cheese & small salad
Dinner is meat & veg or if I've done something like spag bol I will just have the meat & sometimes have some veg with it or make cauliflower rice.
Snacks are nuts cheese & slim fast bars/snacks
It's completely no xen friendly obviously as very high fat & I know it doesn't sound like. Lot of food but if you're eating low enough carb your body will go in to ketosis which stops you being as hungry. It's working for me & I used to eat 4 slices of bread a day but I know everyone is different.

Well scales up slightly today to 12:0:8 but I'm ok with that as I did think yesterday was very low & didn't know it was true. Anyway today I'm home as it's an inset training day at school. So me & a friend are taking our boys for a walk around a local nature reserve & for some lunch (hoping they'll do omlettes) & then tonight I'm making the most of not being at work & am going to the gym for an hour. Conal is booked in to the active kids class at 6. So I'm hoping scales will get me that 11 back by Friday.... Oh & I'm back in ketosis

Thanks for the mini diary, I'll need to think about that! Sounds like 11 is yours by Friday, good luck!

I know it's a big change but for me it is working & the losses make it worthwhile. I can't see me going back to as much carb as I used to eat ever now. I will up it when i am at goal but not until then I don't think

Well done & welcome to the low carb wagon
I've only got 2.8lb as do this morning to go of the Christmas gain (was 2.2lb yesterday but I'm fluctuating a bit) had a good day today, good gym session but I just let my fitbit track it as steps so the burn will have been higher as gym included 8 minute running & cross trainer. So I'm hoping & scared to say it that there is a slim possibility I may see 11 tomorrow, I'd be over the moon if I did
