It does help, thank you.

Your weight loss is amazing and inspiring. I can't believe a low carb way of eating can result in such good weight reduction.

I hope to emulate your weight :)

Well honestly if I can do this .. You can ! I do have the wife cooking and inventing dinners for me .. But I am vegetarian .. I also I was the most inactive person on the planet .. Also when you get the LCHF eating right you loose weight without being hungrey .. The wife used to say .. Think of all the high carb foods as being toxic .. Would I eat washing powder .. Or boot polish .. No .. So why eat so many carbs.. It's all about getting it around your head .. If you eat high fat foods then your body is not needing to store fat .. If your not storing the fat then your weight will go down ....
Ask questions in the forums as we have been there and are wearing the T shirts

Nooooooooooooooooooo...... Never hide the TV remote .. That's going to far .. But could leave it on the table over the other side of the room .. Or as the wife will do and leave it in the kitchen .. The TV is in the living room ... !!!!

Is there a limit to how much of the above foods I can eat? Everything in moderation I suppose.

It's quite hard when it has been drilled into you that any fat is bad for you, isn't it?

I feel quite excited!

EXCITED !! Big like.
Sounds like your in the right frame of mind. WELL DONE.
I now award you one of my smiley face. ( I done give these out easy )
:)
 
I think I may be posting a lot on this forum, you'll all be sick of me.


Honestly, I have not felt this positive for years. I can do and I will do it. I've tried dieting in the past but it's never worked. This isn't a diet as such, more a life changing event. I have two children and a wonderful husband who I need to stick around for. I will do them no good being dead or ill in hospital.

Thank you Milly, for the smiley face.

Enclave, words of encouragement are always welcome, thanks.

Janie, I wasn't aware until now, that your bloods could be afftected by lack of excercise. I have been living in another world.

Clive, thank you.
 
Thanks so much for sharing all this with us Scottie, it's exciting for us too and a pleasure to be able to offer any help help we can.
Go girl, you are not going to know yourself soon :)

Hi Scottie,

Sorry to hear you have been having such a bad time. But being here and getting support from others is the best way to move forward.

I have a small suggestion that others may not agree with, but worth a go? I note you are having lots of sachets of porridge. As a small change have you thought about making porridge from scratch with oats? The sachets might contain lots of hidden sugar, plus they do something to the oats that means they are not as low GI as plain porridge oats. It might be something that helps a bit without being too radical. If you have a big Tesco near you, they do large bags of Mornflake oats really cheap, and they are nice and creamy. I stick mine in the microwave for 3 mins in the mornings and add berries.

Good point Sue, I buy Asda smart price porridge, very cheap. I cook it in a saucepan with water.
As long as I have my stroll with the dog after, its ok. However sunday we had a heavy frost so could not walk the dog, bad news reading was up after 2 hours.
So Scottie, test, and test to see what works for you.

Oh Sue, I must have missed this post, sorry. It's a great idea - not sure I'd like it without milk but am more than willing to give it a try
 
Quick question, sorry.

Muller yogarts? Don't think I like yogarts but just telling mum about my new plans and she suggested these.

So you can reduce the impact of carbs with excercise? Thank you Milly, that's something I need to think about.
