Week 7 - Low Carb Bootcamp - Four weeks left ...

[BIWI]

Morning. Apologies for late start to this week's thread, but I'm off work poorly today, and had a bit of a lie-in.

Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

And don't forget the Weight Tracker

Good luck for this week

Good girl sass

My cleaner is coming in a min, so i'll do mine later, will try on my favourite jeans and my new ones that are very snug, get some pictures on too

I'm a bikini wearer. Being another one of the people here on the taller side, swimsuits rarely fit properly and tend to come down too low around the boobage (btw trashcanjunkie, have you tried next for long enough trousers? Their tall ones are so long, i've had to get my mum to shorten them at times!) So when i wear one, i just tend to make sure i'm either laying down or in a swimming pool!

Oh and thanks for the tattoo (tittoo!) compliments, I know they split opinions somewhat on mn...

Thanks romey

My xp is just awful. I know the anxiety feeling all too well. Dd1 is old enough to meet him without handovers (hasn't seen him for 10 weeks because he's an arse with her too) so it does get better.

You need to channel some inner woman warrior and ignore any fuckwittery.

((((((())))))) hugs.

beyond thanks. Waiting for yours now then.

And yours mrss

umm considering it. My jeans do the same to me sass, it will be interesting to see what a few pounds does.

I weighed this morning and i am 13.8, i think was around 14.9 in early jan and 14.2 at start of bootcamp so thats a stone down in 2 months yay!!!
Its my birthday is 5 days so will have a stint on uber bootcamp (starting tom) and need to be strong this weekend for DS birthday on sunday and swerve the cake. Off to a hotel for the night but the food looks lovely and rich so will just skip the obvs carbs and pudding.

Last night i slept awkwardly on my elbow and its agony, thanks to DD taking up the entire bed ! Anyone know what i can do? Frigging hurts.

B- BPC and coffee with cream
L- leftover roast pork and salad with mayo
D - hm tomato sauce with courgetti and cheese

I may do some jeans photos later. I'm pretty thrilled that I have got into my size 18 ones. My size 20 ones were starting to feel very tight before I started BC.

I found Biba and Gottex swimsuits from House of Fraser really good. Gottex are quite pricey, but they look amazing. Biba do a nice ruched supported tummy one that looks very glam. gottex

quite a nice Biba swimsuit

Hello all I wish this virus would fuck the fuck off, I am seriously fed up now, it's been a week

Good news on the jeans front too, I have a new pair of size 14s I'm looking forward to wearing just as soon as I feel well enough to get out of my PJs!

Size 14 is a LOOOONG way off for me but my clothes are looser and my aforementioned white company bargain xxl pj's are getting a bit baggy.

Breakfast: remains of two hard boiled eggs with 25g unsalted butter (they weren't mashed enough and kind of exploded in the microwave), big mug of coffee with almond breeze and 100g of lovely ham from the smoked hock I put on for soup last night. I could live on that. Cured pig is heaven.

AArrgghh i can not stop eating cheese and peanut butter - although not together!

Great photos everyone, really inspiring. Might have to get the camera and muster titanic levels of bravery. But it would be really good to be able to look back at when the blubber is receding...

I do have quite a few fat photos to use as comparisons (understatement), but I can see that having ones like yours Sass and Chester would help to see the changes better, esp during the process rather than just the final ta dah photo! Can you tell I love all those reveal shows where the people lose a rubgby team worth of weight and then shimmy around in a silver sparkly dress?!

Thanks, sass, mentioning fuckwittery suggests you know what you are talking about! Oh, for the day DS is old enough to walk across the car park himself, but even then, he would probably find some reason he had to speak to me. The stress is almost involuntary, but it helped to break the thoughts by writing it down

And it turns out my mega breakfast was needed as my carefully packed low carb lunch went all over the floor through the intended to be helpful, but misguided actions of a porter. So lots of water needed.

Oh yes romey I know all about fuckwittery. Put it this way, I spend a lot of time in relationships and I have only once seen a exdh who I thought, Christ he's worse than mine..........in 5 years!

Best advice- detach. Talk only about DC, ignore him otherwise. I still get texts telling me what to do. I never ever reply, or do what he says. I really question why he persists tbh

I have a humongous side photo of me at my biggest post pregnancy. Dare I post it?!

My lunch today - a 'no pizza pizza'!

on my blog

If it helps Romey I nicknamed my ex fuckwit when speaking to friends about him. To the point where so many didn't even know he had a real name

Breakfast: a dolloup of yoghurt
Lunch: - no idea need to go stick my head in the fridge

Hey all, gawd Fridays are manic here. And everyone in work thinks my 'day off' with DS is nice and relaxing!

B: two boiled eggs, butter, BPC
Late lunch: chunk of Brie, 50g almonds, little bar of Aldi 85% choc
D: black farmer sausages, swede mash, roast broccoli

Sass great pic. Will be great to see your progress in a few weeks. Also you've all inspired me to get a bikini this year, I've not worn one since DS was born but this year I will, no matter what my size!

BIWI love that no pizza pizza recipe, looks like that's going on my list!

Tired and pmt-ing so hoping to make it through the day relatively unscathed I have wine open so suspect I'll have a glass or two later.

trash do you know tallgirls.co.uk with some great trousers?

No more coffee for me at playgroup. I had a biscuit

Seems its easier to turn one down when i dont have coffee (took herbal tea last week and managed it easily), so wont make that mistake again.

Right, heres my biggest size jeans. Theyre a very small 18 (i have bigger 16s that fit)

Thank you sass and Bitchy, not sure why I am feeling so triggered today, I have been getting better. I got a solicitor letter the other day, so that is probably it.

I don't know, I used to have a bikini and XH made so much fun of it, I ditched it. Same with jeans, he had a thing about how jeans looked and always commented. The first time I bought jeans after we split, I bought them online from Next and got myself into a stress because I had no idea whether I should keep them or not. I didn't buy new clothes for about 5 years because he liked stuff I didn't.

So, I started buying myself new things last autumn once I had lost about a stone on boot camp and really enjoyed trying new things. I am not sure if I am at the stage of wearing a bikini again, but I am psyching myself up for a jeans trying session in an actual shop! It is nice to see all your photos, thank you for posting them

I am glugging down the herbal tea

I need to vent a bit ... I can't eat enough to stop being hungry and its really pissing me off. Don't know what it is but I just can't get the calories in at the moment without lots of dairy or cheese, so at the moment theres a celeriac dauphinoise in the oven with some fatty pork and I know its just going to be too much for me! - 1000cal I need to finish up my day

any ideas for a non dairy carby protein cal boost

I'm making fathead pizza for tea. Lots of dairy but better than a real one!

Pisses how about serving hm Mayo and / or guacamole (with a glug of olive oil in it) with everything?

Thats how a do it, a serious dollop of hm mayo with (or in) everything

Very busy today - didn't get to eat lunch till 4pm. been up since 6 and was out in the shops at 9 wondering why it was so quiet.

Like other tall ladies on here i'm a bikini person. Even when i'm carrying extra weight those string triangle bikinis suit me best (i have hideous non existent boobs and broad shoulders).

Just about to try on my 14 jeans. I'm wearing 16 skinny Gap khakis atm but i find them cut very much on the small side and are smaller than my Hobbs size 12s (i know Hobbs are cut very big tho). My jeans are a make called 7 for all mankind which i got from JL 4 years ago, i've no idea whether they are big or small 14s. They are boot cut tho So i shall probably be run out of town by S&B when i get them over my arse.

imustbepatient genius Tomorrow is going to be Mexican night

I am quite short at 5ft and a smidge so even without scar and flab not really suited to a bikini as torso is virtually non-existent, also big boobs which for me look better in an underwired one piece. beryl those ones in the links are similar to miraclesuits, I like them not frumpy at all. I would say wear what you feel most comfortable and confident in and to hell with what anyone else thinks.

Anyway B today was 3 streaky bacon, 2 scr eggs, half avo, cuppa
L was supposed to be learning lunch at work and was planning on picking inside out of sandwhich and adding salad but order did not go in so had to quickly go out and get some lunch, did quite well with lots of spinach, vinagrette and big salmon fillet - delish
D will be lobster tails and I have no idea as DH is cooking

Have a good lc weekend all and charlie hope you feel better soon

Just checking in before making dinner. I have finally got hold of some green beans Can you shallow fry them? If so, for how long?

Having them with ribeye steak and loads of mushroom that need used up.
