Oatcakes do not count as junk. 

absolutley detrooth.
The Priest House cafe in Audley do divine oatcakes with a variety of fillings.The cheese & mushroom ones are worth the 100km ride in themselves.
Guess how I know this

Fillings? Ah, you're talking about Staffordshire oatcakes. I was thinking of Scottish oatcakes.

Ah.  Not haverbread, though I lurv that, as you know.

I buy Nairn's, though I used to enjoy making my own (even if they were a bit crumblier)

There's only one type of oatcake, them things north of the border are just confused biscuits

Oatcakes do not count as junk.

They are, perhaps surprisingly, quite high in calories though (they're about 20% fat).

d.

Top breeders recommend it because it's [thump] solid nourishment.

David likes oatcakes. I do not.
I am getting thinner.
Slowly
David is not.

Depends how you make them. I'm sure mine (though made with England's finest LARD) aren't 20% fat.

It's unlikely that 20% of the calories don't come from fat though.
Weight percentage is not energy percentage.

I actually don't really like oatcakes all that much, but I need something to put my blue stilton on! I buy them for Simon who has a definite weakness for them. He has realised here that crisps and sweets are a very temporary fixture, and the kids know all the likely crisps or Creme egg hiding places. I limit the kids intake of unhealthy stuff by generally just not having it in the house. If they are hungry then they have to snack on things like beans on toast because it's all that's there 

[Marmitegeoff]

Better day today  I have left the biscuits in the cupboard.  baked a tea bread and then did some circuit training instead. 

Thanks all for the encouragement, I am back on the wagon.

[clarion]

Well done!

[simonp]

I have uneaten oatcakes in the house. I’m not *that* weak. 

*munch*

[L CC]

I've put back on in 4 weeks everything I lost in 4 months.

Yay!

[mrcharly-YHT]

Is that including the weight of the cast?

[clarion]

No movement.  That's about two months I've plateaued now

[L CC]

Is that including the weight of the cast?

What cast?
They took it off. I've got a supporting splint, a hideous zip of a scar and internal metalwork.

(As well as constant pain that drugs don't alleviate and a snarky bad mood that alternates between comfort eating, pathetic wailing and vicious anger, obviously)

[Butterfly]

There you are then - it's the weight of all that metal.

Hopefully it'll be a bit easier once you are able to do more.

[jogler]

Being the IT philistine that I am I cannot add today's reading to the table 'cause I can't see were to put it in the "modify" screen IYSWIM
 
so I've simply changed the current reading at the bottom of the page

[L CC]

4kg of metalwork would certainly explain the reduced strength and mobilty of my hand... 
It doesn't explain the increased flab around my waist though.

bleugh. I'm not trying, I'm far too pissed off for deprivation, and any kind of exertion raises my blood pressure enough for the swelling to increase, throb, and be, generally, even more uncomfortable. I spend half my time on the trike riding with my hand raised above my head, one day a taxi is going to stop for me... 

[Wowbagger]

109.5kg today. At least I don't seem to be putting it back on again...

Today is the only 2nd of the month this year which is a Wednesday. If you can find "2nd" in the chart, it goes in there.

[clarion]

...If you can find "2nd" in the chard, ....

...then you've won a runner-up prize in the Produce Show

And you ought to be too busy to pick up that typo. I'd corrected it within 30 seconds!

Back to work with you!

But I hang on your every word!

[Simonb]

New scales; they read 0.5kg heavier than the old ones. Trufact!

Oh well.

[GrahamG]

Man I need to sort myself out - I just can't seem to moderate my eating when the long audax rides come around, instead of losing weight I put it on! I easily have a stone to lose. Got to get disciplined..

[trio25]

Hmm, managed to lose nearly a stone through various means including starting back on meds. Felt good climbing. Meds have started working, side effects have gone so am now eating way too much, weight piling back on. I have no self control!
