Eeeeek!
The Spreadsheet of Fabulousness is here along with The Weight Tracker
Here's to another good week.
Four weeks left, including this one, so chance to lose up to half a stone if you're really focused!
I'm glad to see that we're all thinking about Christmas and how we're going to deal with it. My own personal problem is that I find it too easy to let things slide - well, I've already had that, so I may as well have this as well - and before I know it, I've scarfed chocolates and eaten a sandwich and start to eye up the pasta as well ...
Other people are much easier to deal with than yourself! 
Anyway, I have one social event this week to negotiate, but other than that all should be manageable.
Hope you all have a good and successful week

Low-carb bootcamp
Week 7 - Pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp - the last 3 weeks!

Right, I have read and digested the advice. to all.
Sayra ok, I will stop obsessing about what the scales say and concentrate on the fact my waist has gone down 3 inches. I won't weigh for a bit if you don't either.
I remember the egg fast. Didn't she eat 23 eggs in 24 hours or was it 3 days? I might try that on Monday for a day and see how it goes.
Biwi I realised it was 4 weeks not 3 but as you say, going down over time. Have drunk almost all my water today and been sure to eat more fat today. Had salmon and avocado Mayo in buttered cos lettuce wraps for lunch and a home made chicken jalfrezi with lots of coconut oil, plus coconut cream for dinner.
clash I am over the moon at losing two stone, I really am. Just worried if has stopped completely.
Miffy I tried 5:2 too and it worked for the first two weeks but I found it unsustainable. Saying that, I've probably tried every diet under the sun over the years. This is definitely the easiest apart from the water
rybka I have yet to try a BPC so I will do that tomorrow morning. I think if that is filling I might cope without lunch.
This thread is great at giving support when needed. It's a real lifeline. Thanks all again.
Tanukisan i read your coconut link going 
when does it get to the bit about the egg fast? Then I reread your post 
Could you explain what the egg fast is please.
BPC is something like 15g butter, 15g coconut oil, dash of cream. stunt always said to start off less and build up.
here is the link to stunts egg fast thread.
best no weighing until the end of BC? I will be away from the 22nd November to the 8th December but should have internet so will keep in touch.
Earlier on today (4pm ish) I suddenly felt really weird. Like spaced out as if I wasn't here, I went to bed. I was really cold then I fell asleep and have only just woken up
Going to have dinner now, I wondered if I hadn't eaten enough earlier?
B: BPC ish (coffee with cream plus ate spoon of coconut oil) - wasn't hungry
L: Egg (x3) in a cup with butter
That was before 4pm....I should have eaten enough shouldn't I? Maybe not a lot of food but plenty of energy in the for of fat surely?
D: Salmon with celeriac dauphinoise and asparagus - will have that now
Yes, I am going to Brazil
I have five days of work then 8 days of fun,my oh is coming over too and we are having a holiday with a Brazilian friend and a work friend. We are going to the Pantanal which is a rainforest/wetland area, then Iguacu Falls and finally Rio.
I really cannot wait!
Luckily they eat plenty of protein in Brazil so hoping it won't be to bad for weight although not so sure about the caiparhinas
only just realised that today is Sunday and not monday
It is a weird day as driving through 2 out of the 3 meal times. Have only just grabbed breakfast and will try to out of sync meal times to accomodate.
Will look into the 5HTP Mo thanks for the recommendation.
Remembered my training thing of Epsom salt soaks for achy muscles and did that before bed so whilst my muscles still hate me I didn't have cramping problems. I am supposed to be helping with ds' training on monday which will mean low level training myself as he needs showing the drills by example and keeping on task. Right now my muscles will hate me too much, but it might be good to slowly ease back in. Will have to make those kinda conclusions tuesday onwards as this week is insane and would tire most normal people. But it is competition day for ds so we have a road trip and my car looks more like a travelling changing room rather than a car so will wish you all good low carb onwards and downwards vibes and head on off.
Lovely luminous green pisses
Hope you are well enough to use your new kit soon.
best when I made BPC before I had flavorless coconut oil if it was just the flavour that bothered you. I've also had just butter and cream too.
bitchy I tried oil pulling with my coconut oil today, I'll give it ago and report back. I didn't spit it out though, I just swallowed it.
I was very pleased with myself yesterday - a weekend trip down to London for a Yarnaholics meet up at the V&A: up very very early to catch the 4.26 train. Drank water on the way down and then a much needed coffee once I arrived at Euston. Met some others Kings Cross outside Leon - and saw that they did a poached egg, smoked salmon and avocado pot - which was delicious.
Just had water and coffee at the V&A until about 4.30 when I started crashing - so succumbed to some cake but chose the lemon and almond cake, served with some clotted cream 
Evening meal was at Pizza Express: tomato, mozzarella and pesto starter, a pulled duck, mozzarella and rocket pizza - which I scraped off and left the base 
much to the waiter's disgruntlement
We did have dessert - so I had raspberry and lemon curd sorbet (we'll gloss over that bit) and the meal deal I had included a glass of prosecco and the Christmas cracker won our table a round of Limoncellos so I had to force the glass down
But given this was a girly weekend away, I think I did pretty well!
I had to turn down the breakfast m in the B&B as it was all carby and just have a cup of tea - but fortunately I'd brought some mini pepperami with me to give me energy as I walked 2.5 hours across London to see the poppies
I bought some peanuts on the train back to Glasgow to keep me going - and then drank loads of water when I got in, to supplement the litre I'd had with me not enough

Only two meals? No wonder you are starving Did you get enough fat? Vegetables? Tbh I always find the first 2 weeks dreadful wrt cravings but if I am stubborn and have nothing what resembles what I am craving then I am fine. It does get better and the first two weeks of bootcamp are designed to kick the cravings into a sensible level.
And before BIWI comes wandering in with her stick this is not a NO carb woe but a low carb woe where the carbs are coming from vegetables. Additionally how much water have you drunk? It really does help to drink the minimum 2ltrs.
