How are you feeling today? ok?

Yes feel fine, but did miss breakfast this morning. Definately the best meal to have as I am completely full all day. Today I was starved and ate salad & chicken at about 12 then just had dinner, but still feel bit peckish so may have some cheese later to top me up!!!

Hows about yourself Emma? See you are not going out to eat after all.

Yes I feel fine, I did actually wake up at 4am this morning, and I thought I had better go back to sleep (which I did )

Unfortunately we didn't go out to the restaurant today as the other half had a day off work as he felt unwell, I have changed the appointment to next Friday which will be better. We are off to his sisters tomorrow evening and I am hoping I can eat sensibly there, but I might skip a dessert, not a great dessert eater anyway I will use the "Oh I am full, thankyou" comment, it usually works without people fussing

I was pleased when I went on the scales today still at 9 stone 7.5lbs I will do an hours exercise tomorrow as well

I need to get more active. All well and good losing the weight but I need to tone up my tummy mainly (two kids - blame it on them!!). But the youngest is more or less 12 so need to find some exercise to tighten the tummy up. I am useless at exercise tho.

Tried that DVD I bought but i cant follow the steps, and cant do it in front of anyone. Cant even do it in front of the cats so shut them out!!!!

But have been so much more active.

Do you feel that the low carbing has helped in you feeling more active??

I must admit it is only since January I have decided to do more exercise, sometimes I hate a desk job I do crunches to firm up my tummy, also another great exercise you can do, and I do this everytime I visit the ladies whilst at work is to do just 12 side bends on each side it only takes seconds to do and I think it really does help to firm your tummy as well

Yes, I think the diet I had before just zapped all my energy. Used to come in from work at 4pm and be falling asleep!! Now I come in and do tidying, shopping, cleaning... etc.

I think once I have lost a bit more weight it will be easier to do some more active stuff!!

Donna it does sound as if you are already doing some exercise with the cleaning and stuff!!

Will run out of things to clean before long Emma, but it is a big improvement on my previous activities!!! Feel like I WANT to walk places etc!! Tis great especially when the sun is shining and the air is so fresh!!

[Donna]

Just done an HOUR of ironing!!! Where is all this "get up and go" come from?????????????

Me and ironing just dont happen usually!!!!!!!

[EmmaG]

Hey do you fancy a trip to Essex for a spot of cleaning free low carb dinner included???

Well I think it is excellent news, I am so glad low carbing is working for you. Has anybody noticed anything different about you??

Strange you should say that, but after low carbing for a week or so I am sure my "vision" gets clearer, I notice things more easily, see things clearer, I am sure if it is just "me" or not.
