The next Low Carb Bootcamp starts on 24 October

[BIWI]

... 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!

May I join? I was here last year, and did lose some weight, but like with any commitment, I did not last long. This time I think I am ready to commit- I need to commit. I have banned my family from buying me sweets and cakes- it's funny, we are all in agreement that I need to lose weight, and yet they are the ones that are always coming round with cakes ,knowing full well that I will not refuse. Anyway, that's just me rambling.

Hi, I'd like to join, can someone tell me how it works please?

Femp the rules are on the spreadsheet...and the Big Stick is being sharpened as we speak! 😁

Yes please. Loved the last one but baby hasn't slept more than a couple of hours a night and I have hit the self destruct button with tons of sugar for the last few weeks.

I need boot camp to get back together.

Pls could someone add me to the list? Thank you

All added now!

This is how it works, in a nutshell:

Normally Bootcamp lasts for 10 weeks, but this one is starting a bit later than I would usually, so it will last for 8 weeks, so it will finish just before Christmas.

The first two weeks are the strictest, and then after that you can either:

• move on to Bootcamp Light, which is a little more relaxed
• choose to stay on Bootcamp if it suits you
• choose a hybrid, i.e. Bootcamp during the week and Bootcamp Light at the weekend

We don't eat any of the following, during the whole 8 weeks:

• potatoes
• pasta/noodles
• rice
• bread or any bread products
• pastry, or anything made with flour
• sugar (which also includes honey, agave syrup, maple syrup)

And in the first two weeks, we also don't have any fruit, nuts, seeds or alcohol.

Each Monday I will start a new chat thread, and the OP will link to our spreadsheet, which the lovely wombattoo has agreed to oversee this time. You will (if you want to - it's not compulsory) add your weight each week, so that you can track your losses. On the spreadsheet, at the bottom, are lots of tabs which show you:

• the rules of Bootcamp and Bootcamp Light
• a list of carb counts for various vegetables (including a carb counter, so you can work out the carb count of the veg you're eating, if you want to)
• a whole load of really helpful resources - books, blogs and links to videos - about low carbing, which will help you to get your head around low carbing

Oh, and I'll generally be here to keep you on track, by waving my big stick around a bit .

Low carbing isn't the easiest way to eat, because the world is generally arranged around carbs - look at any high street and see how much of the food we're buying/eating on the go is based on carbohydrate - but it's important that you stick to it as much as you can. It's not the most forgiving way of eating and, unlike low fat/calorie eating, you can't compensate at one meal for going off piste at another.

So you'll find that I'm very strict unforgiving about any transgressions

Oh yes please BIWI! I can't believe it's a year since my first ever BC. I did quite well in the first half of this year but it's slowly creeping on again so need to get back into gear. I definitely need a big stick!

Marking place

Can someone add me please

Please could someone add me to the list?
I've lost on low carb diets before so im up for trying again, but I'm really worried about giving up sugar in my coffee...I can still have coffee though, can't I?

Decaf is better. With double cream. Yum.

I'm in (restarted a couple of weeks ago but need some extra motivation).

However, next week is half term and we're away for half of it with no access to any sort of kitchen. I'm also vegetarian. It's going to be awkward!

Can I join please. No idea how to do it though- what's involved?

Please can my name be added too.

I'm very excited about bootcamp starting! I've stayed low carb since last bootcamp but my weight loss has stalled over the last few weeks and I need a bit of bootcamp discipline to get it moving again. I realised yesterday that having too many coffees with cream during the day has probably not helped so now I'm restricting it to one first thing!

Ps BIWI do we have to have 3 meals a day for the first 2 weeks even if we're already low carb at the start?

Me too please!

I'd like to join, want to lose an inch from my disproportionately "generous" arse before Christmas!

Yes please! Been on boot camp for six weeks. Was too scared to weigh self at start, but in last five weeks have lost 4.4kg. (Yay!). I did this originally 4 years ago and lost 30kg.

When I've tried to get back on the weapon before, I have found that because I thought I knew the rules, I wasn't as careful as I should be. And so didn't lose. Too much cheese and too many peanuts. This time I am being careful on portion size and peanuts and cheese. Much better! And running became easier about 3 weeks in. Onwards and downwards! Thank you as ever BIWI

Wagon!!! Not weapon!

any chance that I could join? I did follow my own version of low carb a few months ago and lost 8lb in 4 weeks but never got back into it. now Ive just got back from holiday and feel so uncomfortable in myself. I also have pcos & have been ttc with two unsuccessful cycles of clomid under my belt

I've been really interested in trying the lchf diet, I've got loads to lose (around 6 stone ) but can I do this safely while breastfeeding? I'm hoping so! Thanks

Bootcamp Light is probably better while you're breastfeeding

And welcome everyone!

Thanks BIWI can I still join in with bootcamp even though I'll only be doing light? I'm excited to be doing something about my weight again, I've been simultaneously ignoring and worrying about it for months

insert yes you can still join. There is loads of support once the thread starts.

I can see that some people have not been added to the list. i don't have time now, but I will return tomorrow and add anyone who has asked on to the list. No need to ask again - I will pick it up tomorrow
