Me please. I've been vaguely following the boot camp over the last few months and really started to modify my eating over the last two months. I've seen a difference in my weight and I'm feeling so healthy!

I think I'd like the discipline of being on bootcamp along with the support to shift the final stone I want to lose.

Sorry can't work out how to cut and paste lists on my phone

I'm in.

5'9", 160 pounds, lover of Cake. Losing weight for my June wedding.

I lost 25 pounds on the last bootcamp. I've been struggling since then but am back on track now and down another 8 pounds. My wedding is 7 weeks today so I'll finish bootcamp early. I am hoping to fit into my wedding dress which doesn't currently fit Shock

I'm vegetarian too florene - you don't need meat to lose weight here!

Hi, I would like to join in. I've been low carb for a while but always seem to miss the start of boot camp somehow Smile

lisbapalea · 03/05/2016 10:36

I have added myself - desperately in need and delighted that the next BC starts after my birthday! Although I am getting back on the BC light wagon until the 16th after a weekend of massive overindulgence which has left me feeling just gross.

Is there anywhere I can find a few sample menus for a days worth of food? I'm mainly interested in breakfast ideas because I don't have time to cook breakfast every morning.

My DP is doing it with me and he's worried feel hungry all the time, he's basing this on slimming worlds 'red days' where we are a lot of meat and he always felt hungry.

Also, is there a list anywhere of which veg are OK to eat?

lisbapalea · 03/05/2016 14:39

If you go to one of the proper weekly bootcamp threads there will be a link to the 'spreadsheet of fabulousness' in the OP. On that sheet are a few tabs with useful 'allowed' vegetables as well as some food ideas.

There's also a recipe thread that's stickied to the top of the Low Carb Bootcamp section which has loads of meal ideas.

lisbapalea · 03/05/2016 14:39

previous, not proper!

WanHeda · 03/05/2016 16:23

BIWI, thanks for the information on Bisto gravy. I will look into alternatives!

WanHeda · 03/05/2016 16:26

Titsalina if you look on old bootcamp threads, people have posted their daily menus. I have spent the last few days reading them!

oldlaundbooth · 03/05/2016 16:29

I'm in.

Thanks BIWI.

VagueIdeas · 03/05/2016 16:31

Count me in! I fell off the last bootcamp but I lost more weight than expected (a five year low in fact) AND have been successfully maintaining (whilst having daily carby treats Blush) so I reckon I've been doing alright Grin

But I do want to start being stricter again, purely because I don't want to get into bad habits and find my weight creeping up.

oldlaundbooth · 03/05/2016 16:59

Just been reading some of the old Bootcamp threads, very inspirational, especially for food ideas.

Lunch and supper I don't think will be much of an issue, have lots of grilled meat and salads anyway, so will just continue doing that.

Breakfast I am thinking will be omelettes - prep the veg and meat the night before, whack a handful in a bowl with a couple of eggs, mix and microwave.

Maybe with a bowl of FF Greek yog if I am hungry (or mid morning snack at work)

Titsalina if your DH is doing low carb properly, he really won't be hungry!

ihatethecold Bootcamp lasts for 10 weeks. The first two weeks are the strictest, and then you move on to Bootcamp Light for the next 8 weeks.

Kummerspeck · 03/05/2016 19:50

I'm in but don't want to be on the spreadsheet as I get too obsessed by weighing if I am.

I lost 3 1/2 stone on bootcamp a few years back but had gained back 2 1/2 of them which is pathetic as I am very large so have a lot to lose. Anyway I have been LCing on my own for a while and have lost some so I am now within a stone of where I fell off the wagon face first with my mouth open. In the last week 2 people have told me I look thinner which is positive

Only problem is I have a holiday smack in the middle of the bootcamp but will clamber back on on my return

cheeeseplease · 03/05/2016 19:54

Can i join too please? I have one or 2 things that pop up during the 10 weeks too.. but sure there's always something!

I've just been reading a low carb FB page, who have said that swede and celeriac are a big no-no! I've been eating them at least twice a week :( According to the DietDoctor website, they are worse than carrots. Shit.

BIWI · 03/05/2016 20:39

No they're not. They're fine and low in carb.
