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!
BIWI · 13/01/2014 07:22
I'm in. Like the new online weight tracker. I don't think today's weight is accurate as is it OV day, but I'm going with what the scale said, rather than what I want it to say 
ooh helooooo.
breakfast was 2 eggs fried in butter and oil, and loads of mushrooms. On 3rd glass of water, got both kids off sick so that will curtail me from certain things, but Im here, Im doing it!
Good luck everyone.
Lucy - you've started though! It doesn't matter what you weigh compared to everyone else, and it's not a competition.
Seri and MrsPNut - please don't cry 
Look at it this way - in only a few days you will already have lost some of that weight. And I can promise you that if you follow Bootcamp rules, you will also do it whist enjoying lovely, satisfying food.
Just one thing I need to point out as well - I won't be able to pop into the threads as often as I used to, as now I have an Actual Real Job, in an Actual Real Office, with Actual Real Colleagues - and so I have to do some Actual Work
Will do my best to check in when I can, but please forgive me if I'm not around as much.

good morning losers, just wanted to add my thanks to BIWI and Willie for all their hard work 
this WOE really works if you stick at it, i'm already half way into my 2l bottle water as i don't think i paid enough attention to that in the past. good luck to everyone, keep posting your meal plans for inspiration! (i tend to be hugely unadventurous)
B: 2 eggs fried in butter, spring onion, dusting of grated cheese
L: avocado & chicken salad with lashings of mayo
D: pan fried salmon, wilted spinach, mayo
hope that's ok?
I'm going to add my weight later, just coffee and cream this morning as I'm going for my first outdoor run for years:)
Thanks BIWI and Willie for all this work and support
Good luck, losers:)
Wakemeup yes tea and coffee is allowed but be aware that
a) it might provoke an insulin response (I haven't read any evidence but that has been said on here)
b) milk is quite carby so only use a tiny bit in tea, if at all, and use cream/butter in your coffee. No milky coffees!
c) tea and coffee are diuretics, so you won't be hydrating yourself quite as much with them as by drinking plain water.
Sayra almonds are fine on bootcamp light, so it isn't a complete disaster. Glad the meal was good last night! Be careful of lemon juice and lemons folks - they're surprisingly carby.
Kasbah full fat yoghurt is fine, Total is a good one, and there's an Aldi one people recommend I think. Dairy stalls some people though so just be aware of that.
CheerfulYank ooh who is it?
Plonky yy to ff yoghurt; see above. Quite a few people carry on with strict bootcamp after the initial fortnight. You can do it for as long as it suits you, really. 
Queen sounds yum but use double cream instead of milk in your eggs!
