Thanks BIWI for that - wow, it all sounds very intimidating impressive! I need this BAD. I seem to be eating my bodyweight in junk food. Roll on Monday, and no, I couldn't possibly get cracking by myself before then. It's a bootcamp I need and nothing else will do :)

I think thats just because most people only post on the spreadsheet during BC cardoon. I just extended that one in case anyone wanted to post for longer.

There will be a brand new spreadsheet on Monday Grin

Goldensunnydays81 · 26/09/2014 17:54

can i come and join you please, i need to lose a lot of weight and kick my sugar habit!!!

Username12345 · 26/09/2014 18:18

What are the rules?

amigababy · 26/09/2014 18:25

Are all boot camps so big? It is an impressive list. I'm getting excited checking to see my name is still there ( it is!)
Roll on Monday.

added myself to the list Grin

BIWI · 26/09/2014 20:51

amigababy - I can tell you that we often start with loads of people, but the reality is that it's a tough regime, and the drop-out rate is pretty high.

But - there's always a 'hard core' of people who stay with it and become evangelical about low carbing. And there are lots of people who lurk.

Whatever - there are lots of people who stick with it and who will give you tremendous support throughout the process.

janx - if you don't think you can do 10 weeks from the outset, then you are going to find it really hard! Ideally, cutting down carbs should be something that you aim for in the long term. That doesn't mean that you'll never eat them again, but it's about realising just how much carbs are implicated in weight gain.

Oooops, but think have added self?

BitchyTakesOnManagement · 27/09/2014 09:30

And actually you do get into the swing of low carb diet after a while. And whilst i fell of the wagon spectacularly it was sugar and chocolate that was my down fall and pasta is something i haven't even considered to return to eating. But as BIWI says it is harder if you think it is impossible at the start.

BigSpottyCupofTea · 27/09/2014 09:49

I am fed up of WWs having lost 5st twice on it and needing to lose the same now - then I started to do some reading about sugar - The Bitter Truth about Sugar by Robert Lustig - and I realised why I have put more weight on each time I stop. I reckon this is going to be a more sustainable WOE/less likely to leas to yet more yo yo dieting so I'm definitely in!

Yes, absolutely, understanding the whys and hows of low carbing, as well as what carbs do to us is an absolute revelation and is what keeps me focused on it. Even during times when I'm feeling less motivated.

I have fallen off the list, please can you add me back inSmile

janx · 27/09/2014 11:19

Thinking about coffee with cream-what are those squirts cans like? I am thinking they might be full of sugar?

PseudoBadger · 27/09/2014 12:12

No don't use them, just simple double cream.

miffy49 · 27/09/2014 12:20

Most squirty cream is sweetened. I think Anchor Extra Thick is about the only one that isn't but you would need to check as I haven't used it in ages. I much prefer just to buy a carton of extra thick double cream and dollop that but I don't use it in coffee so maybe just the normal double would be best for that. The Anchor one seems to taste of plastic now!

janx · 27/09/2014 12:21

Thanks -will just use double cream. Funny enough the hardest thing for me is breakfast as I love breadShock

Jocastafantastica · 27/09/2014 12:32

Hi could I be added to list please I'm on a phone Smile
