Hi Uk Carbers
Only just found you.
Christmas - blimey, it seems so far away yet we all know it'll creep up on us fast.
Instead of xmas pud, I'll be making myself a low-carb cheesecake with extra cream. Won't be able to resist roast pots and turkey but the rest will be easy to resist except....chocolate !!!!!!!!!!
I've already put no-sugar chocolates on my xmas list !!! Will my other half have the nonse to findout where to buy them...it'll be his little challenge me thinks.

Just thought....really the hardest part for me will be all the build up to Xmas...the parties, office xmas lunch...annual get together with my pals....I'm afraid the alcohol will be my greatest sin.....gulp.

well, I never realised that we were all such slaves to christmas!!!

I think that this will also be a good chance to plan next years goal. Where do you wanna be next easter? next summer? next holiday? next birthday?

My focus is to be 16 stone by xmas, which for me is 16 pounds in 10 weeks.

There are a few meals planned with others that I believe I will give treat as very special occasions. That means more carbs than normal. But I am going to TRULY try to fill up on the good stuff and taste things I truly miss.

Then right back on the next meal!

And unless they have a damn good chocolate dessert - my lc bars will help see me through the worst of the cheats.

Hey, spare a thought for those of us who have to work Christmas Day and Boxing Day . I'll be working a 12 hour shift both days, and there's not much chance of us over-indulging. Last year, one of the guys did a huge cooked breakfast for everyone, so that would be OK from a LC point of view. Seeing as I'm working, husband will be going to see his sister and her family in Sheffield, so there'll be no turkey and Christmas pud waiting for me when I get home either.

Look on the bright side though, hopefully the weightloss will go up!!

I really can't believe I'm the only one who voted:

"Total blowout, eat drink & be merry for 2 weeks, I am looosening my belt already"!

Well that's the plan so every carb I manage to resist will be a bonus.

My downfalls are, mince pies, Xmas pudding, roast potatoes with Xmas dinner (I'll only have one) and...well everything else really.

I did it last Xmas and I lost weight faster after. My body needs a shake up once in a while or I just plateau. And what a good excuse for a shake up.

Greetings

Robert

We always go to a nice Italian restaurant in Glasgow on Christmas Day... they've sent the menu through and i've already chosen what im going to have:

Starter:
Insalata di Mare: calamari, prawns, scallops,mussels, etc marinated in lemon juice, garlic and oil.

Main:
Rib eye steak au poivre: Steak sauteed in butter, flamed in brandy, and flavoured with a cream and peppercorn sauce

(so far not too bad for the LC-er!, I plan to pass my potatoes to my husband and just eat the other veg...but then there's the pudding... havent decided yet, but the pudding and the Italian lager will be my downfall... only for 1 day, though!!!)
