Afternoon folks, well the blinking scales were up again this morning - only about half a pound but it really cheeses me off, need to hide the scales till weigh in day but it has become such a bad habit of mine

 

[Jim]

Yes it is a bad habit bren, I used to do it all the time, Thankfully I have broken the habit now and rarely weigh, only when I'm on induction after a blow out now.

 

[Quak]

I think it was reading it in the new atkins book that says it is better to weigh daily on maintenance - that really scuppered me lol

 

[Jim]

Now why would they recommend that then? :sigh: I know by my belt, in fact I just KNOW if I'm putting on somehow.

 

[Quak]

I think it is too early days for me yet to know myself - it is a bit of a security blanket thing I think. Don't wear belts, no loops on my trousers lol so can't tell that way plus being a woman my stomach can balloon in a day just from water iykwim so hard to tell then too.

 

[LVLLM]

I cant really tell unless ive put stacks of water weight on.

 

[Jim]

But I think that's because women generally don't wear belts as much, I'm in suit trousers at work every day with the same belt Vicky.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I agree Jim... we change our clothes too much to follow that method!

 

[Quak]

Well news from the hospital is much better than thought - he has a bad kidney infection which they are sorting and he is having a camera up you know where tomorrow which he is not looking forward to.

I have been experimenting in the kitchen tonight with some of the Linwoods Flax with sunflower,pumpkin and sesame seeds and goji berries. Made some savouryish sort of biscuits (softer than a cracker and a bit thicker) to go with cheese/pate/boursin or even just butter. 3g carbs for 5 sort of biscuits. Will put recipe on mim thread for anybody that is interested. I am quite impressed with the taste as I have struggled with the savoury mim/biscuit concoctions so far.

 

[Kat1e]

Sounds nice - will have to hand recipe over to dh lol!

 

[rosebug]

Mmm, they sound a little bit like oatcakes, Bren. Will have to try them out too.

 

[Quak]

Morning All
Just a flying visit - will see you properly at lunchtime

 

[Quak]

Mmm, they sound a little bit like oatcakes, Bren. Will have to try them out too.

Yes, similar but just softer in texture, nice to have something chewy if you know what I mean

 

[Jim]

Morning Bren, how are you this morning love?
