Hi Biwi! I'm in. Can someone add me please? I'm on crappy slow iPad so cutting and pasting is a bit of a nightmare.

I've low carbed and done Bootcamp before and found it good but never managed to stick with it. Have two months before holiday so really want to shift weight.

My biggest downfall is wine so am cutting that out completely.

I'm starting sort of Bootcamp lite today but it's my birthday on Sunday so will prob relax then but be ready for Bootcamp proper on Monday.

Am currently a stone heavier than I was this time two years ago having done Slimming World and faffed about with various attempts at losing weight myself since.

Can I join too please? Also need someone to add me to list of names as tablet not letting me copy and paste, many thanks.

Seem to be going round in circles trying to lose weight. Low carb suits me best (when I can stick to it!!) so it will be nice to have some company to keep me focused.

Can I join too, please? I BC'd a few years ago but have taken my eye off the ball. Would like to shift a stone of stubborn middle-age spread.

Biwi panic not - I was in Russia during last boot camp and it is very LCHF friendly - lots of fatty meat and salad. Breakfast was cheese and cured meats. My downfall was the obligatory vodka. I don't even like the stuff... but it was business and apparently no was not acceptable. I did learn "choo choo" though which means "small" - though the Russian version of a small vodka is very different to ours!
I have just arrived in Hungary which I'm hoping will be meat / salad based then off to Kenya .... this will be more tricky as the factory I'm going to work at is run by a vegetarian Indian family and lunch of veg curry, rice and chapatis with the boss every day is obligatory. Leaving food on ones plate is not well received so week one of boot camp may be a struggle.
Oh the joys of work travel - that's what caused my weight ballooning in the first place

Count me in too. I keep dithering so need some support and a kick up the arse to do this i think.

Really interesting piece here about why diet is much more important than exercise for weight loss

Count me in please - I have been faffing around with 5:2 since January, managed to lose 10 pounds but have plateaued. A more consistent low-carb approach has worked for me in the past so I'm hoping this will help kick start shifting the rest of my post-DD2 baby weight!

Thanks wombattoo for adding me!

Spending this week going through the cupboards and using up all the crap, and writing a new shopping list!

Roll in bootcamp start date. I feel like I'm intentionally eating poorly this week as I know I've got bootcamp coming. Grwww what's that all about!

I have been low carbing since Easter. Ive done really well, but have fallen off the wagon a few times. My weight loss keeps fluctuating as a result. I went from 13 stone to 12 st 4 in 3 weeks, since then, I have gone up and down between 12 6 and 12 4 but not gone lower. I need a kick up the bum! I dont have uncontrollable sugar cravings like I used to have, but if I have a bad day at work, its hard to get over the mindset that I can treat myself with a chocolate bar! Im frustrated. I need to be strict. Does the fluctuation make it harder to lose weight?

Isn't that fluctuation small so it would count as maintaining rather than fluctuating once you take water retention etc into account? Better to think how good you have been maintaining than fluctuating too?

oh is it? That makes me feel better! Just in time for me to go out for dinner too! going for Indian so will stick to tandoori with a vegetable side. Maybe aubergine

Ida - no problem.

raised That is a great loss. I agree with Raisin

Here is a link to another spreadsheet I made with some Low Carb Meal Ideas plus carb counts (for some of the recipes).

Most of the recipes are on the recipe thread and you should be able to search for them.

Hopefully this will make meal planning for the first few weeks a bit easier if you can see what kind of things you can make.

I posted this on a separate thread but I don't think many people have seen it.

Please can I join?
I am a stone heavier than this time last year and know I have been emotionally eating due to life changes, but also know this works!

Checking in from my hotel in New York! Sounds a lot more glamorous than it actually is. Food on the plane was very nice, but in no way low carb, so I just went with it. Just about to have a steak here for dinner, trying to stay awake so that hopefully I sleep well tonight. Have two very long days tomorrow and Thursday so need to try and get into the right time zone as quickly as I can. A large G&T has just arrived for me but they don't do Slimline/diet tonic here.

Ah well, as they say, tomorrow is another day ...

Please can I join in? I have about two stone to lose and am really struggling with confidence issues having just had a baby in january. I turn 32 at the end of this month and want to reinvent myself from frumpy mum to slightly less frumpy!!!! Please could someone add me to the list as I can't copy and paste on my phone? Also going to need some serious hand holding as not eaten this way before. Thank you.

Hi. Please could someone add me. I did the last Bootcamp and went from 157 to 143lbs. I have remained low carb and now weigh 137lbs. Just 6lbs to target wt. am loving this WOE. Not really missing bread or pasta and happy that I can eat cheese.
I have always been a bit of a binger but now seem under-control. The worst thing I have done in the last 16weeks was a binge on almonds- could have been worse!
