... come and sign up here!

It's only an 8 week one this time, as I'm away sunning myself beforehand.

So it will be an extra strict one - you have been warned!

Hello everyone.
Can I just ask for a bit of care when copying and pasting. I noticed that a few posters had been left of the list. I hope I have got you all now. Smile

ThingIn - I think what you are describing is known as 'carb flu'. Not everyone suffers but if you do, it should pass in a few days. Good luck Thanks
tankerdale I have been eating this way for a number of years. I have had some great success on bootcamps and some not so much. I find that if I only half commit to it, then I am more liable to eat rubbish carbs and find it hard to get back on track. The more I eat, the more I crave. I will be 100% committed to this one Smile

Thecontentedcat · 09/10/2016 13:26

Hi there please would some add
me to the list? Flowers it will be my first boot camp - I am ttc so should I do full boot camp or boot camp light BIWI? I don't actually know the difference but will have a look through some of the previous threads to see the rules Smile

lovelycuppateas · 09/10/2016 14:25

I really need this! Turns out my low carb discipline is pretty awful without the weekly weigh-in and the advice of everyone here (also spent some of the summer recovering from emergency surgery which led to lots of carby treats...).
Have added you, contentedcat

momofgirls would like to restart on the 24th. Did last bootcamp but have resumed carbs and other treats.
Interesting to see what weight I will be at the start clothes still fit better.
Nice to see a few names from last bootcamp.

Conflictedoncemore · 09/10/2016 21:39

Count me in! I'm excited x

GinThief · 10/10/2016 09:32

Please can I join you? I've started back on low carb today as I have lots to lose.

FinallyHere · 10/10/2016 13:06

Could somebody please add me to the list, I've had this iPad for years and still haven't learned how to copy more than 1 line of text! Blush

anne121 · 10/10/2016 15:11

What is the low carb bootcamp?

Visaste · 10/10/2016 15:32

Please can I join? Been doing LCHF for a few weeks with great success but need some support as am weakening! Hopefully I've done the list right... (and added clare8)

I'm in - need a stone off before Christmas - can someone give me the story on Chickpeas Yay or Nay - I have a pork belly, chorizo and chick pea stew for lunch everyday this week, served with buttered veg (sprouts and mange tout) and follow LCHF 75% of the time but feel that this may not be the best lunch going forward! Se y'all on the 24th!!

Hi Plumstone It's a no to chick peas I'm afraid.

LoveMyRs and Anne - I'll try and find a list of BIWI's rules and post them here.

I have started today as I've gained weight since the last bc and need to get back in control.

wombattoo · 10/10/2016 16:52

bootcamp

Here is a link to a previous first week on bc. The OP has a link to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has tabs on the bottom which contains the rules and some hints to useful reading.

CassandraKumquat · 10/10/2016 20:08
