Me please!

I started LCHF after my son was born in summer 2015. Since losing the baby weight I've been eating low carb ish for over a year. It works brilliantly to keep me from gaining but I HAVE got into bad habits this winter. I'd like to reign it in again, but with half term coming up I know it will be a challenge Grin

Yes please! Been doing the blood sugar diet since 2nd Jan but not doing the 800cals so I'd rather join in boot camp. Hoping to make this a lifestyle.

Can I join too, please? I started the blood sugar diet 5 days ago, not sticking to the 800 cals, more around 1,000 each day, but have list 7lbs in 5 days. Was looking for threads on here about blood sugar diet, but Boot Camp sounds great. Smile

Thanks wombattoo. Been faffing around trying to lose weight for ages but not really committing and not really losing. So, I fully committed to low carb, lots of different meals to shake things up a bit, and now feel really motivated to continue because of the great initial weight loss. Smile

Nipping in to give credit where it's due. The lovely, long time almost invisible low carber Sayrra is setting up the spreadsheet for us, as she always has because I can't manage it but I will update weights for those who can't. Just a reminder for those who do go on the spreadsheet - please do not touch the blue cells. It causes chaos. Thanks Wink

Hi, I've been watching this thread for a week as my head finally seems to be in the right place to make a proper diet effort. Low carb fits how I instinctively choose to eat - if I can only break the sugar addiction! Other diet and weight loss plans always seem totally irrelevant to me because of allergies. Heading over to the prep thread!

Report
GrassWillBeGreener · 04/02/2017 07:10

Oh yes, meant to say, 3-4 stone to lose ideally. Even if I can lose 2 I'll get back to the place where people used to be surprised I was overweight as I'm tall, but I had better aim at normal BMI range if I'm serious about this :)

SayrraT · 04/02/2017 08:55

Hello everyone Grin

I've been very absent from the last few BC, but now I'm back! Was away mainly because 2016 was a very stressful year with job difficulties (me), ill health (oh), unemployment (OH due to medical incident), tragic death of a friends 20 year old brother, house renovation etc!

My otherwise LCHF eating went totally out the window and I started 2017 weighing more than I ever have (243 lbs).

I decided that enough was enough and 2017 would be a good year. I started back on LCHF and since the 4th of January I've lost 13lbs Grin

I've also booked myself in for a pole photoshoot in April Shock, started training more seriously for it and bought myself a beautiful outfit to wear. I will look fabulous no matter what I weigh.

This year is already looking good, I faced my work issues and I am much happier at work now. OH has a job on a local farm and his new medication means he's been seizure free since August (reason he lost job). House is pretty much done so we can relax in the evening instead of working.

And, my wonderful friend who lost her brother is now engaged AND she asked me to be her bridesmaid Smile

I will try very hard to keep up with the thread though I've only got my phone now as laptop died.

Can't wait to get started, good luck to everyone!
