Morning all!
I see several of you have already weighed in on the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness
As of today, though, we also have our bright, shiny, new Bootcamp section on Mumsnet, including our own Weight Tracker, which will only show your own weight/progress.
You can either use the Spreadsheet as we have done before, which everyone has access to and can see, or you can go here and enter your weight.
Obviously you can do both!
When you're in the new Bootcamp, if you click on the tab that says 'more info' that will take you to a section which has loads of information about low carbing, as well as Bootcamp Rules
Before we get going formally, I have to make an important disclaimer:
I am not a doctor, a medic, a scientist, a nutritionist or a dietician. I have no formal training in food, dieting or low carbing. The information that I provide here is based solely on my reading on the subject, as well as my own experience. If you have any kind of medical condition and/or you are taking any kind of ongoing medication, you should consult your GP before starting a low carb diet
That done, good luck everyone!
Mumsnet hasn't checked the qualifications of anyone posting here. You may wish to speak to a medical professional before starting any diet.
Low-carb bootcamp
Week 1 - New Year 2014 Low Carb Bootcamp - And We're Off!

Oh gosh just worked out what I need to lose to get back to post DC1 weight - 40lbs to top acceptable level, 60(!) for ideal 
AthelstaneTheUnready - I also only have a stone to lose. Lost 1.5 lbs last week, which I consider very good. Also half an inch from hips, woohoo!
Best of luck everyone 
I need to come on to confess that I have already made a mistake on day one of bootcamp (a complete accident).
Last week when I really fancied something sweet/nice I made myself almond pancakes (1 egg, almond milk, ground almonds) but they were so filling I only ate one (about 1.5 inch diameter) and there was some of the batter left so I had one for breakfast today and I had almond milk in my coffee
Tomorrow I will be much better, it was just a slip and as soon as I realised what I had done I was like "nooooooo!" but since they were made and almonds aren't cheap I just ate it anyway.
On the plus side last night at the Italian I had garlic mushrooms and then fried chicken in lemon (very very lemony!) and vegetables....and I didn't eat a single chip!
Thank you so much BIWI, you are a star 
.
Willie, the spreadsheet is fab, you too are a star
I have been doing the soft start to bootcamp last week and lost 4lbs, I must say I love this WOE and it suits me very much. I have had quite a few sugar cravings though, hopefully they disappear soon.
Today I plan to eat,
B- FF Greek yog, slice of ham with Philadelphia spread.
L- broccoli and bacon soup
D- slow cooked beef curry with green beans and cauliflower.
I have drank 1/2 litre of water and a green tea so far.
If I need to snack I will have cheese cubes, celery/red pepper strips.
Good luck everyone and fingers crossed we become a bunch of losers!
Don't cry Seri77 - do something else with that energy. You've already started to get your figure back. Hope you have a good day today
Wow - really don't want to be going to work .... Just want to play with new boot camp toys and read all these threads ! Weighed yesterday , but did manage to measure my bum this am ..... It won't be spring for a good while as my arse is obliterating the sun !!
Good luck to all - can't wait until can get back on MN later ! ( am I a bit sad ?!)
Morning everyone!
Willie and BIWI thanks so much for all your hard work on this.
Feeling really inspired! (and horrified as I haven't weighed myself in over a year, this morning I am 12st 4 - bleeee!)
Am cooking myself poached buttery eggs for breakfast whilst writing out my shopping list with reference to the recipe thread. I'm also going to take my measurements before I go out, as I always forget to do that and I want to keep a record this time.
Good luck everyone! :o

I haven't weighed myself yet lucy so hold your horses! 
I've been so busy lately I haven't got a meal plan or done any special shopping. We have eggs though so I'll hard boil two of those for breakfast now, then take it from there.
