Hi JftB

I’m the Bedouin’s home supply outfit. 😃

What BLOCK? Not the fixi it up and hock it off block is it?
Keep strong old frog, week 6 is a grand achievement and worth the work. I thought to give it a go for a few weeks to see and just stayed on…Feeling great now and I know I have the tools to keep on the straight and narrow. The only bad day I had was day three when the carb flu thing was full on, however I was lucky next day, it went and stayed away. So many things improved almost Stat that it is incredible. Now when I read the threads of newbies to this site I smile and nod sagely.

Off now to practice my best Ostray-yun ack-scent so they will let me back in “no worries.”
Nettle,.

Just cleaning my office, so watched Dr Andreas – can I have him please!. Also if you watch a TED talk on U-tube with Dr Sarah Hallberg you will all be re-inforced. Fantastic lady. American too.

Is it too late to join you? I’m kinda used to being a couple of steps behind!!

Linda you have made my day with your Bedouin tent referral re bathers. I have a new aim, to be able to say the same thing. Just the lift I needed as struggling a bit in week 6.

I fancy another challenge. Definitely helps to focus on a week at a time.
Keeping my carbs at 50 as still working for me although quite often have fewer
Weight loss target 3.5lbs, half a pound a day seems possible if I stick to plan. Hormones might have their say this next week or 2 though!
good luck (planning) everyone.

7 d reboot weigh in 5.5lbs down from last tuesday which means I’ve lost just over 4 stone in 4 months so doubly pleased.
Thanks Verona for starting me on the reboot, and congratulations on your results too. In fact pretty good results for everyone and nice to have you back greenjanet.

Just watching Panorama program on diabetes on iplayer and it’s heart-breaking. I know many people won’t be able to follow a LCHF diet but at least now the evidence is building about the benefits, they should be given the right advice. Years of meds, ill health, numbness and eventually amputations- it all seem so unnecessary now I know what I know!

I am really feeling the effect of carb/sugar withdrawal or something… Having made low cal fish and veg for dinner I caved in and had two small new potatoes. I had fried them in olive oil with shallots and garlic for my family – that’ll teach me! Looking forward to Day 3 tomorrow. Going to bed feeling very hungry and really can’t full up on any more water today.

FerretQueen, I am overweight, still obese, but getting towards overweight, no BS problems, but several medical conditions, high BP, heart disease, sciatica, old age 70, to name but a few, but I can assure you the diet will work for weight loss and probably for some of your other conditions as well,

JulesM is being careful and perhaps you should see your doc first, but remember if you had to have a serious op your surgeon would put you on a very low calorie diet for weeks beforehand. If you notice in another thread the BBC doco on the folks having bariatric surgery they dieted BEFORE the operation. I have not seen this yet because the BBC won’t let me watch it ( in OZ)

By all means consult your doctor, but do not let her put you off. Just read lots of the threads here for inspiration and good ideas – and look at folks like Igor and Jules among others who have had great success. My BP and cholesterol have both gone down and I have a long way to go.

Completed my first week and lost 6lbs, 2″ off of waist. Delighted just need to keep at it must be doing something right! Helped by reading all of your stories. Thanks

bit guesstimatey, but put everything into FatSecret, but around 900 calories and 40 carbs, so not too horrendous!

HI HappyGirl

Good luck – don’t think about it as an 8 week diet, just a new way of eating

there are several threads on eating out, mostly focusing on chain restaurants – the search box is in the top right hand corner to find them`

The family dinner – are you cooking or someone else? If someone else, ask what the food will be – if carby, take some courgetti and zap them in the microwave to replace the carbs (and if you want to be even less trouble, they are pretty OK raw with most things)

school trip – pack a salad

Sunshine Girl – I always think Berwick looks amazing when I go though it on the train – every time I promise myself I will take a holiday there one day, but haven’t yet. Do have a fantastic time!

so – week 2 reeboot, was going well until this evening!

Pros
14k steps, 2 hours kayaking
I went to a lecture at an organisation where worked until a couple of years ago – reactions ranged from dropped jaws, polite “you look amazing”s to people simply not recognising me.
I wore a smaller bra that I bought a few years ago that still had the label on – so from size 42 getting a bit tight pre BSD to a 38 fitting well
The smaller clothes that I bought online and collected from Debenhams on the way home all fit – size 16

BUT
couple of glasses of wine, canapes
– I did stick mainly to parmesan lollipops and olives though 🙂

Also – subject of the lecture was fascinating – the future of digital learning
checkout https://www.futurelearn.com/ for a range of free online degree level study courses – quirky but interesting range of subjects.

lots in common here. 163cm, weight 13stone at start, nearly 70, also live in West Sussex, lost 25lb so far after 11 weeks (but 4 of those weeks have been working away ftom home). Can just get on some of my old size 14 clothes (yippee).

Best thing today was that I had some news which was very stressful but I didn’t reach for the bread for marmite sandwiches – my previous go to stress reliever. I didn’t even think about it. If this diet has conquered my comfort eating then that makes me feel very happy.

Hello Everyone
I went out and bought a weighing scales, such is my commitment to losing weight.
I might get around to unwrapping it next week for I never thought such a small and insignificant machine could scare me so much!!!
Seriously though, I haven’t had dinner because I will weigh myself in the morning-I am nervous.
One small step for most normal people but I feel threatened. I will now have to face up to reality and do something. This diet will have to last the full 8 weeks. I can’t give up and revert to behaving myself and being naughty at the same time.
What do you do when you have an occasion you have to go to?
Do you break out?
I have to travel away on a school excursion where we have a sleepover. There is a set menu which is child friendly, you know yourselves, pasta, chips, etc.
We also have a very special family dinner coming up too.
What advice would you give me?
My gut says just go with the flow, enjoy the craic and hop up on the wagon the day after.
But that’s difficult. Once a diet is broken, it’s hard to restart. Maybe my brand new shiny weighing scales can help me!!
How have you all coped?
Or am I being dramatic?
Cheers

Hi JulesMaigret – my friend Ann, who made it for me at the weekend, said she didn’t use nearly as much oil, but hadn’t measured how much, we certainly didn’t need to drain off excess oil, nor did the remaining portion that we stuck in the freezer the next morning look particularly oily, but baking the aubergine sounds like a great idea, will definitely try that – probably easier too.

Verano – I did like the pine nuts with it, but I love them anyway, so a bit biased. I made the same dish for lunch though, and forgot about the pine nuts until the end, and it was still really nice. the pine nuts add crunch, and an extra dimension to the flavour. I decorated the top with a couple of cherry tomatoes today; it looked like something you could serve happily to guests.

I bought a new spiraliser and it makes much more definitive curls than the tiny one, so that added to how nice it looked. I took a photo today, and asked the techhies if they can add it to the recipe. (I eat it on Sunday to see what it was like before I entered it here, hence no photo!) The thicker curls taste better too – the smaller ones tended to go too mushy if you weren’t really careful with cooking

Sunshine-girl – your average of 5.1 is really good – which means your hb1ac must be really good also. I am looking forward to hearing what it is at the end of November.

My hb1ac is being done at end of October – that will be an interesting appointment – I will let you know how it goes.

Day 1: Total calories :794
Total carbs: 29

Feeling virtuous.

Tomorrow is the end of week 5 for me – I lost 20lbs in the first 4 weeks. Nothing this week.

Today was reasonably typical – 760 calories 29g of carbs. Ho hum!

Hi 😀 I started on the 26th. Yes, me too, feeling overall pretty good. I had a major falling off the wagon on day 4 when I had friends round for dinner. All my planned willpower went out of the window, but I lost 5lbs in week 1, so happy with that.
I’m an emotional eater too, eat when happy, eat when sad etc etc. I have about 100 lbs + to shift, so I have a long way to go, but I’m hopeful that this way of living/eating will work for me.
Good day today, 2 large mushrooms filled with cottage cheese & lg tomatoe all baked in oven
Small portion of hummus with loads of veggie sticks, then tonight, slices of pork loin with cauli mash, corgette and broccoli. Just had a peppermint tea, used to not like, but I think it’s going to be my new best friend – tastes are changing for sure!
Good luck & best wishes.

Igor, thanks as usual. Always can rely on your good advice (::

Hi all.

The problem is ‘where do you start’.

School – when I was is school (many many moons ago) we had cookery lessons but what did we make? Sponges, puddings, crumble etc. because these were not things that could easily be bought and were considered as treats. At home we ate healthy filling meals.

Doctors Surgery/Hospital – as previously mentioned dietary information between them is often contradictory. My OH and I found this out firsthand as information the surgery nurse gave us was totally different from that given by the hospital dietitian..

It’s a pity Hospitals could not run some sort of daytime/evening weekly meetings on the same lines as Weightwatchers/Slimmimgworld to get the message over about diet, whatever your medical problem is. BUT once again everyone has to be singing from the same sheet for it to be of any good.

I am lucky that no one in my family has diabetes but out of my OH 5 sibling 4 of them are pre or diabetic.

Oops!!! must remember to spell check !! Sorry guys

HI Apatch thanks, Recipie is on page 136 of 8 week blood sugar recipie book but basically marinated duck legs in soy sauce whilst oven was heating to 200 and then turned down to 160 and cooked for 1 hour turning regularly. Recipe is in the 8 week book and very very easy. Lettuce leave replace pancakes but allows hoisin sauce which for me is the best bit 😋 Definitely worth a try !!

AFTER DAY 20

Weight: 72.5 kg
Steps: 12,450

I saw a documentary recently about Ireland. Apparently it has gone fom the thinnest country in Europe after WW2 to projections that it will be the fattest by 2030. Sugar seemed to be the issue. The narrating doctor’s voice was annoying but the information was very confronting. I will look out for the other documentaries. Thanks for the heads up, everyone.

Thanks for tips all. Yeh it’s not too bad going to bed early at this time of year. Today was easier, had no hunger pangs. This week seems slower weight loss, but still going. Makes me quite excited to think of 8 weeks time.

Hi LindaA
Tomorrow I head over to Oz to boost the economy on a new wardrobe run. We lived on the Gold Coast for 10 years and feel the need for white sand, sun and surf again. Need to buy bathers on arrival because my others are being used by Bedouins as a tent. I have little idea of what it’s like to be cruising the 12-14 racks, I do know they always seemed to have a lot more choice on them that the 18-20. I guess 10k steps will be easy after a day in the mall.

I started BSD a month before you, have lost 19kg and while sitting happily at 68 which took my BMI to normal, I lost another 2kg not even trying. I am not going to worry about getting it right whilst on holiday because I now only want to eat well anyhow. The little extra loss is wriggle room…what suprised me was that as the extra bit melted off I didn’t get as excited as in the early days when a little loss had me doing the happy dance around the bathroom. With my hand luggage and me fully dressed I am so way under my old weight the airlines should thank me for saving tons of fuel.
Heres to the Lucky Country.
N.

Another good day without feeling weak or overly tired. I am already slightly sick of eating eggs though!

I had two meals today:

– tuna steak wth cauliflower rice, avo, feta and tomatoes

– 3 fish fingers with baked beans and an omelette with veg (the rest of the family had their fish fingers on brioche buns and the bread smelt so amazing! It took all my will power not to take a bite!)

I also dug out the pedometer and am aiming for 10000 steps per day. That was easy yesterday with the school run but I had a sniffly little girl at home with me today so didn’t get out. I suppose I could have run up and down the stairs about 50 times but I think that would be The start of a desent into madness!

I do read all the posts. Someone asked for tips on not sabotaging. For me, I just don’t want another failed diet. So this has to work. I am sick of losing a pound or two, falling off the wagon and gaining it back. I want results and I want them fast!

We are past the half way mark of week 1. Keep at it folks xx

You’ve lost 9 lbs already – that’s jolly impressive. If you’d lost 4 1/2 lbs in each week, how would you feel?

Most welcome ShellBrum. I used small button mushrooms and sliced the aubergine thinly but like I said next time i will just cut it into chunks.

Ugh. The anticipated withdrawal headache has hit, sticking to the plan though… kinda. I am supplementing with the odd cashew, just until my body adjusts to the LowCal/LowCarb curveball I’ve thrown at it, lol. Better news is that my boss says I don’t have to stay late tonight! So home at a reasonable hour, lol. (I work 7am-6pm then commute home for an hour)

Question – does anyone know when the new cookbook is going o be available in Canada?

Great post StaceySmith! It has me thinking – why do I want to do this? Beyond the obvious……

I’m 43. Over weight, scratch that, obese (16st 8lbs). Diabetic. I already have problems with my legs and I worry about my sight. Good reasons. Valid reasons. But they aren’t the driving factor…

There are things I want to do that I’m not doing, that I’m saying no to because of my weight and my feelings around that. I want to travel. I want to be able to go where I want and no worry about fitting into seats, about my legs/knees being able to support me. I want to go on walking/hiking holidays because I love doing that. I don’t want my body to hold me back. I don’t want life to just happen to me.

I try to do things that are out of my comfort zone and when I do I usually have a blast, even though it was HARD.

So, my commitment to this process is this:

It will be HARD. I will feel DEFEATED. I will muck it up, repeatedly.

I am not perfect. I will forgive myself. I will cut myself some slack, because I am human.

I will realize that I am worth the work, I am worth the sacrifice, and I will come out the other side my own HERO.

Gods help anyone who gets in my way 😉

Thanks for sharing this journey. I appreciate all of you and your stories and suggestions will help more than you know.

Cheers,

Deb

Finding keeping the food content ok but not drinking as much as I should. Perhaps that explains the dark mood that came out of nowhere yesterday. Equilibrium appears to have been restored today. Tried the bolognaise this evening but rather liquidy for my taste, so will make my own version in future. On the whole a better experience than I was expecting.
Thanks Fairyface for the review, I will try that on Thursday

Hi – I have just done my first week of the 800 and it has overall been good. No headaches, no cravings. I am an emotional eater so trying to ignore the temptation and it has, so far, worked. I just wondered if anyone started the same day as me so we can share weekly weigh ins and monitor / support each other through the 8 weeks and beyond.

I did see another post that was near my starting date, but I can’t find it now. Anyhow, little about me. I am 5ft4in and was 14.4 stones today I am 13.9 so I am quite pleased. Does anyone want to join me, or point me in the right direction??

Hope your headache gets better soon ShellBrum you are three days ahead of us so good luck for the rest of the week.

Fairyface, I am so glad you posted a review of the Skinny Aubergine Lasagne, that caught my eye in the recipe book and now I can’t wait to try it next week! Thank you!

Hey guys,

Some great posts on here! Thank you all for keeping me motivated.

Today was a bad day (Day 5). Decided to go for the Brunch and Dinner option and have had a massive headache since 2pm, just caved and took headache pills. I have drank over 2.5 litres of water already today and had a good amount of salt on brunch too. Maybe carb withdrawal that people on other threads are talking about??

Anyhow my meals today were:

Brunch: Poached egg and smoked salmon stack.
Dinner: Harissa chicken. (could sub chicken for tofu in this one, cook on higher temp if using to get harissa crust crunchy)
Snack later – 1 Granny Smith apple and 10g feta.

Both great meals and filling though too far apart!

Keep on keeping on guys!

Hi AnnaGig and welcome!!

Very good luck with your BSD

I also used MFP and I suggest that you don’t add in the extra calories “earned” by exercise – this helps the weight loss and you should be able to achieve the 800 average AND exercise.

I used to put the exercise in very last thing – otherwise it can be confusing. Though it’s a good record of what you’ve done.

Hope that helps 🙂

The second day has gone well with my husband & I having a brunch after his blood tests of Yorkshire Provenders super broccoli soup, then some left over roasted med veg (from the recipe book) with four small falafel & some pulled ham
Supper has been the chickpea chilli recipe with some fresh broccoli. The recipe makes loads & because it has fresh chilli in it & has loads of veg you have no choice but to eat slowly. We both now feel stuffed so highly recommended if you are hungry.
So total calories including four coffees throughout the day was 827!
Onwards to day three for us.
Good luck October Starters👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀

Hello to all who have joined us today.

Day 4

Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with raspberries, blueberries, 6 almonds (200cals)
Lunch: Omelett, handful of watercress, two small slices tomato (200cals)
Dinner: Skinny aubergine lasagne (p146 recipe book) (200cals per portion)

I was not looking forward to breakfast as I don’t really like greek yoghurt or raspberries. Must admit it was lush:-) Will be having it again in the morning to use the ingredients.
We were going to have Halloumi kebabs, Hubby went shopping for the artichoke hearts and when he came home I decided that 430 calories on lunch was way to many Also did not want the faff or making them. Will do them for an evening meal to use up ingredients.
Skinny aubergine lasagne was lush. At 200 cals for a portion we finished it off. Admittedly hubby had two large portions and mine were smaller. Next time I make it I will just mix everything up and cut the aubergine into chunks instead of strips. Might even add mince or chicken. Really, really enjoyed this meal. It hit the spot tonight.

Not drank as much as I should today and struggled to go to the loo! (sorry) But have felt so much better generally since starting this diet. Like others I am on it to loose weight, upto 9 stones:-( , but I really want to feel healthy instead of how I have been feeling.

Not craved anything again today and certainly feel full after dinner tonight.

Welcome Adelski!

How did you cook the duck? I’ve been quite headachey since yesterday, but it feels as if it’s subsiding now too. Certainly I think today was that little bit easier than yesterday on the whole.

I too keep thinking how amazing this will be if I actually pull this off! (which I will of course 🙂 )

Hi Guys

I have started the BSD TODAY.. 🙂

I am using Myfitnesspal as a tracker – can anyone advise whether I SHOULD – as I would normally – add exercise to the daily roundup; and should I therefore be using the extra calorie allowance that gives me? I just want to be sure!

Thanks in advance

Hi Peeps,loved reading yr thoughts x so many reasons to be grateful,heres just a few of mine!
Just returned from sitting by the park lake with my Beau,on a tranquil evening,feeding the squirrels and watching joggers,walkers,dogs,fishermen – and of course, swans and ducks!
Before that,was in tesco and bought some lovely colourful mini peppers,watercress,cauli,berries,full fat yoghurt,roast ham..all good nourishing stuff. Grateful i had money in my purse to pay.
Coming home as it starts to get dark to my bright and welcoming pad..so fortunate to have a place to call home and a roof over my head – many people havent got that basic need met – and my DD and SIL just down the road in their cosy home xx

Hello to all & hope everyone is well. I also started yesterday after returning from a few weeks in the sun, overindulging in most things and feeling very embarrassed in a bikini on the beach. Think I have remained within my 800cal but think it is very important to plan ahead so as not to be caught out.
Today had 2 scrambled eggs with vine tomatoes and spinach, skipped lunch as really busy at work but sipped on peppermint tea and then For dinner the duck leg lettuce wraps which were actually lovely – cooked the duck last night and took off the bone then just heated through tonight. I have nearly 3 stone to loose after gaining weight in my last year at University, becoming pregnant and then giving up smoking as soon as I found out but that was over 10 years ago now so cannot use that as an excuse anymore!! Had a headache late yesterday and also today but now subsiding – I think for me weekends will be a problem with the temptation of wine/people popping round etc… But going to really try to stick at this and stay very positive and motivated. Good luck to everyone – just think how our lives will change for the better if we manage to actually do this!!!! Xx

Captain Lynne – agree with your comments. I have never been a fan of low fat foods, they always seemed too sweet and glutinous. When I found out what is put in to replace fat it was no wonder they were glue like.

sunshine-girl

That may be true about children. I”be worked in various areas of the NHS (office, not nurse) and seen patients with many kind surgery of problems. But I was upset last night watching Panorama.

I was full of respect for ‘Hopalong Cassidy’ and wish him and his wife well for the future. The male nurs who was going for bariatric surgery certainly had an interesting breakfast – 4 weetabix, topped with Shrddies, washed down with a pint of tea. And all the chocolate he ate😱 I did feel sorry for the girl who bought the Ribena – she thought she was doing the right thing How many times have we done something similar in the past?

How do we help ourselves? We listen to our bodies. For diabetics, if we find carbs raise our blood sugar we cut them down to a level that does not affect us regardless of what ‘they’ say. The medics want us to be proactive in our treatment, but are reluctant to give us the tools. So we buy the BSD books, we come on here, we support each other. Together we can do this. It takes a long time to gradually turn a big ship and it is possible that it will take a long time before what we are doing becomes mainstream and the routine advice given. But it will come. It has to!

Right as usual, igorasusual 😃

Sensible! Me! Those who know me might disagree LOL. But thank you 😃

Food manufacturers have got us hooked on their products. I remember from the early days on these forums that people were describing withdrawal symptoms from carbs that were likened to coming off hard drugs😱 And the slimming clubs are not free from blame either. Their branded products are far from healthy. Most of the time they do not actively encourage healthy eating. It seemed to be ‘eat what you want as long as you stay on plan, within the points allowance’. So many people at the clubs planned their intake around their ‘treats’ whether it be alcohol, chocolate or whatever. Once they’d factored that in, they’d work out their meals. Hardly healthy. And of course one club says you can eat ‘until full’ – but many of us had difficulty with that concept. And that included almost unlimited carbs!

To everyone – old-timers, newbies, and those in between – keep on keeping on. Never give up.

Well said StaceySmith 😃💐

It’s been said that we want to die with our feet on, with functioning kidneys and decent eyesight. The alternative is unthinkable for us.

I think what you say is very sensible Captainlynne

The other thing to note is that once you are accustomed to eating refined carbohydrates you become literally “addicted” to them. This high blood sugar spikes and the resulting falls leave you desperate for more of them to eat.

This is the body changing the way it obtains energy and leads to excess calories and less fat burning.

So we have now been educated to call people “greedy” when really they are driven by the desire for carbs. Not helpful to blame and shame.

It can indeed be hard to give up refined carbs especially if you are used to eating them regularly at each meal.- and them worsening the effect with sugary drinks, biscuits, slices of cake, Cappuccinos and (worst of all) 0 fat foods.

But getting through that initial period of difficulty and finding the huge variety of food you CAN eat – and how delicious it is – cam be a total revelation as many people here have found. And life-changing.

Fantastic to see so many trying the BSD in recent threads. Please carry on, newer starters, even if it feels tricky. Get back on the bus if you fall off. – as you likely will – the control over your life is invaluable.

Hi,

I am 5.6 as well and started out on Friday at 13st 10lb I am down to 13st 4lb in 3 days of the diet!

Stick with it and think of where you want to be and try not to think about food too much, that is what I am doing.

Good ludic with it!

FB

Hi Luisa bulk cooking and freezing is a great idea. What sort of meals are you freezing because I’m getting a bit stuck trying to come up with dinner options. I am mostly ending up with eggs! 😔

Hi mental4ever

They said on that programme that those going for bariatric surgery had to go on a restricted calorie diet (800-1000) to reduce fat in their liver. Exactly what the BSD does. It did not show what nutritional advice they were given as to what they should eat within that calorie allowance. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Angiebabe.I think it would be a cost saving alternative against potential future costs – if people continue to eat unhealthily, running the risk of type 2 diabetes, and those already diagnosed are either non-compliant or follow the existing dietary guidance even with at leads to increasing medication.

Prior to the 1960s diabetics were advised to be careful with carbs. People wanting/needing to lose weight were told to avoid bread, potatoes etc. Then came the low-fat revolution. When manufacturers remove fat from a product they have to replace it with something to add flavour. So they usually added sugar. When we look back, it is clear that the start of the problems we now face with obesity and diabetes date back to that time.

Like many other diabetics, I’I’ve found that the only way for me to normalise my blood sugars without resorting to medication is to restrict carbohydrates. I have seen folk suffering from the effects of uncontrolled diabetes and do not want to go down that path. Perhaps that is why the timing was right for me to go on the BSD. And to stick with it.

We are all responsible for what we eat and drink. But we are conditioned to listen to the experts. Even if what they are saying is harming us. I originally decided that I would do the BSD in spite of the medical professionals. I was (and still am) doing it for me. I don’t want to lose parts of me to gangrene, I don’t want to go on kidney dialysis, and I don’t want to lose my eyesight. I want to be around for a long time yet, as fit and healthy as I can be. I have family and others who need me to be as fit as I can be for as long as I can be. It’s not always easy, but the consequences of not doing it are far worse than any difficulty or inconvenience along the way.

But, yes, I think there are still people who will not take responsibility. There will still be the ones who prefer to take medication that lets them eat what they want, then wonder why they need increasing medication. My diabetes nurse has told me about patients who go for the so-called easy option! And, yes, there are the ones who think it will never happen to them.

Looks like I’m turning into a campaigner😱

hello all!
I just started on Monday 3rd and looking for support!
I’m 5.6 and weight 14st 10lb would ideally like to get down to a good healthy weight however I’d be happy to break the 14 stone barrier first but I’m doing this to kick start it all!!
I did try this once before but lost my way during a week off but I certainly found that organisation is the key to success with this! bulk cooking and freezing batches with calorie content on labels was a good idea so I’m planning that this weekend!!
also invested in new bathroom scales today to stay on top of the weight loss!!
good luck everyone xx
