BIWI · 23/04/2013 08:19

Come and sign up if you want to join us. We start on Monday and Bootcamp will run for 10 weeks.

Each week we will weigh in using the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness which is set up and maintained by the lovely WillieWaggleDagger.

You will also see, if you look at the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet, the rules as well as the list of allowed veg, and all manner of other resources to help you.

So that Willie can get the spreadsheet set up in time for our first weigh-in on Monday, please can you all sign in if you want to join?

I'll start the list, so just add your name and then cut and past the list and re-post it.

I am signing in.

I followed the last bootcamp and lost 20lbs (didn't make myself known as I have 'signed in' before then never made it past day 3!) I've lost another 5lbs since then and want to do the next 10 weeks- is it 10?- with everyone else.

I look forward to all the support and recipes!

I'm in sainsbo.com as I write concocting the perfect Week One shopping list.

I've been low-carbing since last August and hit my target last month. Before Bootcamp I hadn't stuck at a weight loss program for more than a week but eight months of delicious food and great support and I'm wearing the same dress size as I did aged 21.

After a couple of weeks of Letting Things Slide due to birthdays and life generally I'm well up for a couple of strict weeks.

Signing in...BIWI there is a thread in AIBU from someone thinking about a gastric band. Have told her about LC so hope she comes over and at least looks.

AtYourCervix · 23/04/2013 08:55

I'm looking. And humphing. And making excuses.

Tell me. Can I low carb if I don't do meat or fish?

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Hello I started last boot camp and sort of wandered off onto a pike of cake and toast and didn't come back
But! I have been boot camping for 2 weeks now and have got back in the gym so I will most definitely be joining you all :)
I won't be weighing weekly though as it sends me a bit potty.

BedHanger · 23/04/2013 09:03

Can I join if I'm intending to do a Whole30, please?

EwanHoozami · 23/04/2013 09:07

'ello AtYourCervix There's a great book by Rose Elliot called the Vegetarian Low Carb Diet Cookbook which has loads of great nutritional info. I use her recipes a lot. There were several vegetarians on the last Bootcamp who'll hopefully be along soon to extol the joys.

Can I sign in, please? Have a big wedding to attend in July (my partner's sister's), and need to shift this baby weight! I might have to do slightly modified version as I'm still bf my 8 week old DD.

Let's do this!

Signing in. I'll add my name when I'm back on a pc.

I lost 29lb on the last Boot Camp . Another stone and a bit to go until I reach target so if I get close in the next Boot Camp I'll be happy. Even if I only lose half that I'll be satisfied, as I know you need to slow the rate of weight loss as you get close to target.

At the moment I'm on Ubercamp (as of today) as I have a more immediate priority of getting in to my Nicole Farhi evening dress (probably 14 years since I last wore it but it's a classic style). I have until Saturday night.....

CiderwithBuda · 23/04/2013 09:22

Oops missed one! Can't copy on here so can someone update please?
