Here's the Spreadsheet for you to confess all!
I hope that you've seen good results, and that they have convinced you that this WOE works - if you weren't already convinced, of course 
Here's to a good second week. Hopefully all of you suffering from carb flu will be through that now, and will be feeling much more energised.
Good luck to all

I've also gained weight but just 2lbs and I'm not surprised. I had a very carby meal (and drinks) on Friday as a 30th birthday celebration. Now I'm interested in seeing how long it takes to lose that additional 2lbs so that in future I can decide exactly how worth it it is to eat a carby meal.
Just realised that I am in week 6 so that might also be why I've had again -much more likely to be my Friday night-
Well done to all the losers. I've added your weight very
kleptronic sometimes I just record my lowest weight for the week

Morning everyone. Hope everyone's scales are looking good this morning.
I'm 3lb down this week. Very happy with that. I started LCing 2 weeks ago, so total loss for me is 9lbs in 2 weeks which is just amazing. I've been faffing about trying to lose baby weight for years (my baby is nearly 4!) and this is it now...it's all going, every last pound...no more faffing... 
Chilli for tea tonight, but haven't figured out the rest of the day yet. Out for lunch at a very carby place, so maybe an omelette there.
Good luck all.

Well done everyone who's lost! :)
Looking at my food plan, I'll probably need some veg to go with my dinner! There's a forlorn cabbage from last week in my fridge, so I'll make something with that.
I have a few challenges ahead this week. Trying to think and plan ahead to avoid giving in to carbs.
I'm meeting friends at a cafe tomorrow. It's a quiet place, and we usually spend a good few hours with a couple of giant lattes and cake and a good catch up. I don't think they do anything low carb in that place, except black coffee. So the plan is to eat well before I go, and not look at the cakes and sandwiches! I feel a bit bad not ordering more, as it's a small family owned place and we sit there for ages, but can't be helped.
It's DH's birthday on Friday. He's got time off and everything. Usually this would mean homebaked cake, plenty of wine and going out etc. I'm not baking, but I'll try to find him a tiny individual portion cake instead. I'll buy him nice craft beers, which I won't be tempted to drink. And I'll cook some nice fatty ribeye steaks and roasted veggies, I think, which he'll appreciate. Might end up drinking something, but will stick to things that at least aren't sugary.
Biggest challenge might be that I'm feeling very stressed, have a hospital appointment coming and other stuff, and my usual coping mechanism is to stuff my face.

Morning all :)
Eating humble pie (figuratively, avoids the hovering big stick ) today after going on and on last week about how skeptical I was, then losing 8lbs in 3 days 
Turns out this WOE does actually work, who'd have thought eh??
Dinner tonight is satay prawns using a tiny teeny bit of peanut butter, I know the peanut butter is off the menu during bootcamp, but it's measured out and only 20g between 2 of us and I'm massively craving this particular meal
Macros:
Fat: 57%
Protein: 34%
Carb: 9% (22g)
Total caloric intake: 1,065

I loveweek 2 of Bootcamp, because there's always someone (often several!) like you, Hesdeadjim
You won't believe me until you see the results for yourself! But if you have a read of the resources on the spreadsheet, and get to understand the science behind low carbing you'll be totally convinced.
For those of you who haven't lost, it's time to have a good, honest look at what you were eating and drinking last week.
If you can, hand on heart, tell me that you followed rules exactly, then the other things to consider are:
- your menstrual cycle; you retain water around this time, so it's not unusual to gain (or at least not lose) weight
- you may have a problem with dairy; try and cut this out for a few days and see what happens
- if you're taking any kind of regular medication, this can impede weight loss
- if you're a regular dieter, and have switched to low carbing from another plan - it seems that it can take a bit of time (anecdotally!) for your body to 'trust' you
Have a good read of the rules, and especially the list of allowed veg, and make sure that you really are focussing on keeping your day low carb (as well as high fat).

Congratulations you losers
I've lost 0.8lbs, which i'm pleased about as it's been TOTM. Also, it's week 6 for me and I've managed to lose something every week. I've now lost 15.6lbs since 1st Jan.
Lunch is leftover roast beef, mashed garlic cauliflower, broccoli and sprouts sautéed with lardons.
Dinner is pork belly, yummy.
I won't be able to weigh in next Monday as we are going to Center Parcs on Friday. I'm going to try and stick with LCHFing, but will probably have a few treats alcohol . My DC keep going on about how many times they want to visit the Pancake House! Just as well they do omelettes there, too. I will weigh in on Tuesday, however nasty it is.
