Week 10 - Low Carb Bootcamp - the last week!

[BIWI]

Well, finally, we reach the finish line! One more week to shout your shit.

Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

And the Weight Tracker

Hope the results are positive for you today - and that the rest of this week gives you time to drop another pound or two.

I lost 12lb all together.
Very pleased. I'm going to carry on strictly for afew more weeks as I've been really bad the past couple, not drinking enough water but drinking booze. Thank you BIWI I've really enjoyed it x

Up 1lb or so for me, but I had a real issue with some compulsive biscuit eating last week, so not surprised. It still makes about half a stone off this BC - not too shabby. I'll be keeping on keeping on too.

And yes, of course, to BIWI and Willie and indeed all you vipers for your time and support.

I've lost 12lbs in total as I started the week before so I'm really pleased.

I'm so glad I stuck with it through the fluctuations - and everyone on the thread's reassurances are to thank for that. Its so supportive and great having everyone doing it together! The trend has finally shown itself!

Thanks all! I'm still keeping on and will try and post more often too.

Morning, another one who can't believe it's been 10 weeks. I started a week earlier and didn't weigh myself for a week, so I know I will have lost more than I'm actually recording but I have lost about sixteen pounds officially, have yet to weigh in this week.

16! Bloody marvellous.

Am keeping going as my target is August 6th when I go to India with my daughter.

Am so grateful to everyone, for although I post very little I have found the thread very reassuring and supportive.

Morning All.

I going to keep on keeping on. Haven't lost weigh during the last few weeks but I have been quite relaxed about it all recently. Only have a few pounds to go now so may need to cut back on calories as well as keeping an eye on carbs to achieve the last bit of weight loss.
I love this way of eating, I will continue to ignore bread, pasta, potatoes and rice as I don't miss them at all. I will however eat all manner of vegetables because I enjoy them all, I can't wait to tuck into a huge corn on the cob. I will treat myself to the odd piece of dark chcolate (daily!) and the odd piece of cake when we go out for coffee.

Loved the last ten weeks. Its been a blast, a low carb blast!!

Boooo, its all over.

Ive lost a total of 25lb.

I have another 15lb to go, but its very very slow, so I expecting that to take another 15-20 weeks.

Whens the next BC?

Thank you all so, so, so much

Congratulations all, there are some AMAZING losses here! onwards and downwards.

I lost 8.6lb this bootcamp. It could have been 10lb but I've put 1.5lb on since yesterday - TOTM could be a factor. I'm not worried though, as I fluctuate like StuntNun. As you all know from earlier in this thread, I could not be more pleased with my overall many-and-longtime-bootcamping transformation.

And Thank you all for sharing your thoughts over the last 10 weeks, the support does really help with the keeping on keeping on.

I will certainly be checking in to catch up on the between-bootcamp continuing.

This is now day 1 of my personal Maintaining my weight and not putting it on again Challenge!

I've lost (including the unofficial soft start to bootcamp).....
30lbs!!!! Which is amazing. I'll be slightly more relaxed now until next bootcamp, but I'll be back to lose the rest next time. It's been wonderful working with you all :o

And thank you BIWI and Willie and all other people who are behind this and provide support

I don't post much but I read a lot and enjoy everyone's posts. I didn't weigh today but will do so tomorrow.

Thanks so much to BIWI, Willie and all the lovely ladies who have provided the chat and support. Love to everyone.

Well that's annoyed me ever so slightly. I had a few stalls along the way but no actual gains - until this last week. And I know exactly why, which makes me even crosser with myself for being so weak. And crosser still because mid-week I was another lb down from last week, and was heading happily for 11 1/2 stone - but have bounced upwards instead.

Overall I have still lost a whole stone over the 10 weeks though, so am very pleased with that - this last week's gain just proves to me that I need to stop cheating and stay on this WOE for a while longer yet if I want to keep the weight off! I still have at least another stone to go for me to feel even halfway happy; and I know I can do it, I just have to be stronger and avoid the devil's food completely, in its many forms (chocolate).

As I said before though, I'm not stopping as such at all. I'm just going to keep on keeping on with the extra incentive to stay away from the bad stuff.

Will both the spreadsheet and the weight tracker continue as we go?

Happy Monday.....

I am a Happy Happy Whooshfuckerfairy,

A) I have dropped a lb this week - making a total of the 14lb I had wanted exactly. Biwi. Found a WOE for life, Learnt a lot, learnt from mistakes, made good virtual viper friends, very happy...

B) I just heard..... I GOT THE JOB !! Fuck me , I cannot believe it . In Nursing terms this is a big deal - I remember thinking I would never be ' grown up' enough to be an 8b.... and now I am ! not that I feel grownup

I second everything that Sayra said earlier - its been fantastic - thankyou to each and everyone.

eva I am joining you on a challenge of not putting weight on and maintaining until the next bootcamp. I think I have got about 10lb to perfect goal weight - but feel great, so determined NOT to yoyo.

Kisses to all - except the infected ones

Whoosh! huge congratulations on getting the job after the observed focus group of hell!! Its official you are the best!

Oh fantastic work, Whoosh! Congratulations but no or

........ Tonight
Water water water water tomorrow !

Oh my word Whoosh -well done you! Clearly a side effect of BC is making people excellent at getting jobs :)

I am so thrilled for you, Whoosh! I think is definitely in order if you promise to drink gallons of water tomorrow. May I ask what sort if nursing you do? Huge congratulations. Lovely news.

Final weigh in; 153lb

So am going to keep on, bootcamp lite until the next bootcamp, and try again.

Well done to everyone who has lost, brilliant news about your job.
Thank you BIWI and WILLIE for your hard work and encouragement.
I'll see you on the next bootcamp, does anyone know when it might be?

sybil - I work in child protection/ safeguarding . I will be moving up from a Named Nurse in an acute trust to a county wide Desgnated Nurse for a CCG.

Have had a slip-up, full of the cold and living on lemsips, but going to keep on. Well done to everyone!

Congrats whoosh!!!

Massive thanks to BIWI for this wonderful Bootcamp and thank you to Willie also for the spreadsheet of wondrousness.

I have really enjoyed getting to know you all; you are a fabulous bunch of wise, honest, funny women. The last ten weeks have been made much richer by these threads and you lots.

[tea] (minimal milk and no sugar, obviously, low carb to all, and a big virus-laden snog for Trashy!

Now where's our chat thread??

whooshy that's bloody tremendous news! well well well well done

thanks so much to everbody for every little bit of encouragement and love I've felt and shared through this bc

thanks BIWI and willie

Although, I feel proper miserable today. All my effort has come to nowt. I weigh exactly the same as when I began bootcamp. I know I'm following the rules, and I can't fucking understand why it isn't working for me. I am doggedly going to continue so will see everybody on the chat thread, and feel like I've been a rubbish bootcamp buddy the last couple of weeks, what with my dramas and whingebagging.

maybe just maybe I'll sts for another few weeks and then whoosh down some more....

Anyway, I've been a proper nobhead today and ate crappy chocolate. That is the second time I've cheated on this bootcamp. I ate a mini creme egg, three mini malteasters and a small (but not the smallest) lindt hazelnut easter bunny.

Pah. Humph. Fuckass

Trash we all love to hear from you, none of this whingebagging self-criticism nonsense please. Its a real shame you feel miserable (and the same sympathies to Twit too). I wish I could just wave a magic wand for you both!
