So...Been totally carb free for a week - going well so far as I havnt given in, Im finding that low carb is actually very sustainable and Im hoping to keep this up long term.
I dont think I've actually dropped many pounds yet, which is rather disheartening! Any tips? Im hand on heart not cheating, and im not eating tons to make up for not eating carbs! May try grilling sausages etc rather than frying to cut down on the fat/ calorie intake. Hopefully it'll kick in soon!
Well thats all for now folks! Jxx

Fab blogs
Ive added some of my fav low carb blogs to this site - find each of them both inspiring and useful! Please feel free to leave me a comment with a link to your blog/ website and Ill put a link to it here!
ALSO - Does anyone have any thoughts on the Wii fit?...Im currently at my parents in the middle of no-where (until my return to Newcastle on Thurs, where Im a member of a gym) - SO until then my only form of exercise, as its persistently snowing, is the Wii fit. I tend to do 1/2 free jogging, boxing, all the muscle work outs and some yoga to cool down (all in all about an hours activity). Any thoughts or tips HUGELY appreciated!

The Journy Begins...
Well folks here goes nothing! Im hoping to lose a stone in about 2 months - its not going to be easy but I feel it is necessary for health reasons to get back down to that 9 stone mark! Ive used low carb on short term trials in the past, for slimming down for parties etc, but Im hoping to change my eating patterns for good this time, making low carb a lifestyle choice.
For those of you unsure of the 'LOW CARB' rules, here goes my version of them:
NO GOES:
* Pasta
* Pizza
*Potatoes
* Rice
*Bread (devils food!)
*Cake/ biscuits/ cookies/ any other piggy food!
*Breakfast cereals
*Oats
THE GOODIES
* Eggs
*Meats/ Meat alternatives such as soya & Quorn (NB no sausage rolls/pies etc)
*Fruit
*Veg (careful with root veg..)
*Milk
*Yoghurt
*Nuts
Well thats about all I can think of right now - if your interested in joining me that would be fabby! Lets lose the chub once and for all!
