Talk

I'm interested but know nothing about it. Where can I find out? Want to lose 12 pounds. Hopefully a couple of them will be gone by 6th feb

Here's some general stuff about low carbing/Bootcamp

Ugh what took you so long, I need this to whip me back into shape so much...can you bring an extra big stick just for me, please?

I'll post more stuff about it over the next few days - what it's about, what you can/can't eat etc.

The key thing is that for the 10 weeks of Bootcamp, you're significantly reducing your carbohydrate intake, and specifically excluding:

potatoes
pasta
rice
bread
flour
sugar
chocolate
sweets
biscuits/crackers

from your diet.

You eat a high fat, medium protein and low carb diet.

For the first two weeks you also can't eat any fruit, nuts/seeds or drink alcohol. But after these two weeks, this is relaxed and you can re-introduce these (albeit in moderation).

Welcome, CarlessWispas! (Although I think you're going to have to change your user name! )

Me please! Have 14 lbs to lose.

Yes please. Two stone to lose.

I will start the list. Just copy and paste from the last person and add your name

I will join too, have more stones than I would like to admit to lose. Started low carbing nearly three weeks ago but want the extra motivation of boot Camp!

I'm in!

I need to lose at least 2 stone I'm in - been intrigued by this for a while so it would be good to get some group motivation.

Me too! I lost 5 and a half stone on BIWI's bootcamps last year. Fell off the wagon over Christmas and though I haven't regained more than a couple of pounds, I still have 2 more stones to lose.

BIWI - weird question for you - I've noticed that my memory isn't as good as it used to be and though this may be down to getting older, I've read on the internet that some studies show a high fat diet can affect the memory. Is that something you've heard about? Or maybe there are particular types of fat to be avoided?

I'm in! I'm on a mission to get my BMI under 30 again, so we can go ahead with our last IVF.

I'll be joining but not weighing - am in between houses (divorced and living with mum while buying new house) and my scales are in storage. I will be judging weight loss by the fit of my clothes! Ideally hoping to lose a dress size
