Week 2 - Pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp: our first weigh-in!

[BIWI]

Morning all!

Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness for your delectation and - hopefully - delight

I hope you've seen good results this morning

Look forward to hearing how you've all got on, and here's to a good week 2

[BIWI]

Apologies Week 3 chat thread is finally here

[SestraClone]

Food for yesterday -
B - fried crispy halloumi
L - crayfish tail salad with mayo
D - Creamy pesto & chicken courgetti

[plumstone]

It would appear that having an actual working battery in my scales is the way forward. Definitely confirmed a 3lbs loss this week and a sold, non flickering, non changing number of 149 appearing on the scales this morning.

To be fair I have lived like a hermit since my holiday and stuck religiously to the plan, planned and shopped accordingly - having everything delivered including bottled water on Friday night has helped enormously!! No need to go into a supermarket at all removes all temptation. Also stopping eating when I am full I think is making such a difference, as is 4 litres of water per day - God help me I am sounding so dull!!!!

[Pengweng]

I didn't lose anything this week but had a few dodgy days and it was also period week so i'm just going to carry on.

Well done everyone who lost x

[PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel]

Good morning!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet. Emotional nightmare of a week. I'm proud Tha none of it involved the cookie jar!

Could someone please update me? PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel 190?

Thank you

[GuyMartinsSideburns]

Could someone update me please - 2lbs on. I know it's because I've fucked up bigtime, i haven't been well and I've been feeling terrible. Those that remember me from previous know that my dh was really ill last year, it seems that now I'm just in a constant state of anxiety/depression with worry. I haven't been eating very much but I haven't stopped milk in my drinks, I ran 20 miles last week but it's not made any difference. I came off citalopram a few months ago and I know that affected my weight, I don't know what's going on at the moment really. New start today

B - coffee (with milk but I plan this to be the only milk drink of the day) not sure about food yet.
L- leftover courgette bake I made last night
D- chilli, either cauli rice or buttered spinach with mine.

[achangeisgonnacome]

1lb off for me.

Sabotaged my efforts with fish and chips after the fireworks on Saturday and it went downhill from there.

Today was better:

B: boiled egg and spinach pot
L: chicken teriyaki
D: tesco finest sausages x2, courgettes, carrots, peas and plenty of fired onions.

[DoctorBeat]

4.8lbs down!

[DearPrudence]

Tried skipping breakfast today as really don't like it.

L - tuna, mayo, salad leaves, 1/2 avocado
D - bolognese sauce, Parmesan, sprouts with butter

[Veryflummoxed]

Two pounds off this week.

Could somebody add me please.

Veryflummoxed 194. That's a pound less than my finishing weight from last boot camp. So a milestone for me albeit a very small one.

Food today was

Coffee with cream

Brunch of cold meat, leaves and coleslaw

Dinner of belly park and cauliflower

Well done everyone.

[wombattoo]

Evening everyone
prettybird I have added you to the spreadsheet and put both weights on. Fantastic loss.
boldly I've updated s/s for you.
Another pound off for me.
koko

[nekobus]

Not great for me - I've put on half a pound... I think all I can do is stick with it and wrote everything down on here. Maybe it's the snacking on cheese? I'm telling myself that as a long term LC-er the results are just not as spectacular each time I do BC but I'm sure that's just an excuse!!

So, must do better and stay away from the snacks! I'll stick with BC for now rather than move to light.

[Eightiesmate]

Just 2lb off for me but that does make 7lbs over the fortnight. I usually come to a halt for a few weeks now - the water weight drops off quickly but the fat takes a while to shift. Stil KOKO Though, well done on all the losses.

[WentworthMillerMad]

Hello, have lost another 2 1/2 pounds so 11 1/2 off so far. Feeling better and more energy for sure. Well done on losses everyone.

[BIWI]

Eek! Sorry I haven't started the week 3 thread - majorly busy - will do it after my next meeting

[margaritasbythesea]

Looks nice Sestra I might try that myself tonight.

I am frustrated by not having a weighing machine now. I'm convinced I'm putting on weight. I've decided no more booze to the end of bootcamp though. Anyone else?

[Polkadotties]

4lbs off for me. One more to go before I'm at my pre holiday target of 10 and half stone, one week left before holiday. I can do this!

[PlayNice]

I weighed myself this morning and my start weight is 10.4.

Food today has been a bit dodgy. No time for breakfast so had some TTD cocktail sausages. Lunch will be a smoked salmon salad, and thinking of making some sort of broccoli/cheese soup tonight.

[SestraClone]

I am going to make this for dinner tonight, swapping the pasta for courgette. www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2320662/creamy-chicken-and-green-bean-pesto-pasta

[SestraClone]

Pippi, you h ave had amazing results up to now, so I know this can feel disheartening. But as Biwi always says, the weightloss isn't linear and I am sure it will start to shift again once your body realises that this is not your new set point.

[Veryflummoxed]

Don't be disheartened Pippi. You have lost loads since the start of the last Bootcamp. It will start to shift again.

[boldlygoingsomewhere]

I'm down 1 pound! A minor miracle as I'm full of pre- menstrual bloat.

132lb if some could add to the spreadsheet please.

Well done to everyone else who has lost and KOKO to anyone who has struggled.

[DearPrudence]

Oh Pippi that's so disheartening for you not to lose. Do you feel better in other ways?

I lost 3 this week, making a total of 13lbs. I feel lighter, trimmer and more energised, even though I still have 5 stone to lose!

I'm not going to introduce any new foods this week but I want to drop breakfast. Does that seem ok?

[DearPrudence]

Well done everyone.

[PippilottaViktualia]

Well done Sestra and everyone else who's lost. I've had yet ANOTHER week with. O loss, need to find a way to break this, it's really getting me down now!
