Run-up-to-summer Low Carb Bootcamp starts on 16 May

[BIWI]

Sign up here if you want to join!

The spreadsheet hasn't been made yet reader so just copy and paste the list and add yourself to the bottom then I will make the spreadsheet up at the weekend.

Ah ok thanks. My names on there already. Getting excited now!

Can I join too?

Is it ok if I don't weigh in at all? Former ED and getting on the scales is garanteed to make me obsessional/depressed. I'll know by my clothes eventually and just liking the idea of LCHF because I don't have to calorie count/restrict etc.

Of course you can join - but please, please, please be careful if you have had an ED. Definitely don't join the spreadsheet if it's going to make you obsessional and/or depressed!

Sorry - missed the bit where I was supposed to copy and paste the list! Here it is:

May I join please? I was low carbing before my wedding, then went to an all inclusive for my honeymoon and regained 10lbs!!! Need to get it off again fast as none of my new clothes fit any more. (had a great time on holiday though)

Please can I join? I've tried by myself but just don't have the willpower. Would love to join you all!

Welcome everyone!

I've posted a lot of stuff on this thread already about preparing for next week, so have a good read through everything here.

My goodness - there are 107 of us!!!

That's a lot!

Biwi - do you know if there is any reason I shouldn't do Bootcamp if I'm having radiotherapy? I can't think it would interfere. I start 3 weeks of radiotherapy on 25th. (Had a lumpectomy a couple of months ago. All fine now and it hadn't spread so the radiotherapy is a precaution.)

Sorry to hear that Cider

I can't think of any reason other than positive ones, to be honest! Low carbing helps reduce inflammation, I believe, which would suggest it would be a good thing. And you'll be eating fresh, natural and unprocessed foods as much as possible, with lots of veg and salad, so I can't see how that could do you anything other than good!

But - the usual caveat - I'm not a medic!

Hadn't thought of the reducing inflammation aspect. That's obv good. And as you say it is fresh, natural unprocessed food.

It was a shock obv but it was caught very early and was technically a pre-cancer. Thank God for mammograms! Feeling very fortunate tbh.

I've just added myself to the list. It's less than 3 months until my first holiday in the sun for years and I just got on the scales. Eeeeeek!

Have low carbed before and know it works. Unfortunately, I drifted back to my old ways.

The only thing i can think of with re to radiotherapy would be... If you are going to get carb flu/night sweats (which arent guaranteed of course), it might be compounded by any side effects you get from the radiotherapy?

But then it could also help you feel better if you have any side effects, no way to know really til you're there!

Hi all,

Have decided to bite the bullet and join in. It's been far too long now, that I have been denying to myself how big I have actually become. I don't recognise myself in the mirror, or if I catch a glimpse in a shop window

I won't post my weight on the spread sheet, but will index from 100.

BIWI, I have been contemplating this for a while, but have been hesitant as I have suffered with gallstones in the past and am a little fearful of it getting worse on a high fat diet. On the other hand, I am pretty sure I am close to pre-diabetic, so LC is an ideal way to stave of the T2 Diabetes that is undoubtedly in my future if I continue as I have been.

Should I give it a go and see?

DIFMAL

Hello, would like to join please? Have been no-sugar for a few weeks but still eating bread/potatoes so need an extra kick-start!

BeyondTells - I haven't been eating much in ththe way of carbs at all recently so am hoping that won't be an issue. It certainly hasn't been in th past.

I'm in. I have around 4/5 stone to shift, ugh, and I know that carbs are my problem.

Doing I'm sure BIWI will have a proper answer when she gets here but I had gallstones, followed by gallbladder removal some years ago. The received wisdom has always been that fat is an issue for those of us without a gallbladder but I have had no problems at all on this way of eating

Sign me up too. Lots to get rid of and so little time or too much mental effort. This may be the kick start I need

Hi everyone can I join? I have been low carving for 6 weeks now but want to be stricter as I've had few blips at weekends. Hoping this will keep me on track

I'd like to join, never low carbed before but been slowly coming to the realisation that carbs and sugar are my serious downfall (create binge eating for me). Currently breastfeeding but dd is almost a year so should be ok. Hope the copy paste works - am on my phone!
