Week 9 - Summer Low Carb Bootcamp - let's get focused!

[BIWI]

Morning campers

Here's the spreadsheet

So we start our last two weeks. Let's get really focused - think about the food you're eating, pinpoint any carb creep and eliminate that cheating!

If it helps, post what you're eating each day. Or even consider going back to strict Bootcamp for the last fortnight!

Good luck to everyone

@ilovecherries - I feel your pain! And I hope very much that the hotel were able to make you a lovely, low carb fry up this morning

You look fabulous C4. Stunning. Your dress fits you beautifully, those SHOES . Have a wonderful day. (Gah. I've started crying )

jimminy I too think it's probably going to be another week or so until the side effects settle, but if you're worried go back to the GP. I've heard good things about mirtazepine for anxiety, it's a pre-uptake inhibitor so works differently, perhaps give it a google.

C4 you ROCK girl!

Carby twat - don't you just love auto correct.

Jiminny I'm exactly the same, no appetite at all. Been almost two weeks for me - I only had two scrambled eggs and some courgettes.

C4 you look STUNNING.

Have a fab day!

Thank you goodbadorindifferent.

Well I did think, 'That's a bit rude for C4 . Who's she calling a twat?' .

C4 you look lovely

You look great C4, you must be so proud! Enjoy it!

I was trying to think how you are 'being a car'

You look great! You can't go wrong with black & white, it makes you look really tanned and LOVE the shoes

You look fab C4. And now I understand the "pink wheels".

I'm sitting in the garden in the sunshine drinking an ice cream soda made with Oppo vanilla and Diet Coke. A bit naughty for the artificial sweeteners but oh so yummy.

Hello ladies, I'm still here, haven't deserted you. Haven't been contributing lately, just don't have much time to spent on internet.
I'm visiting my parents and flying home on Saturday. mum has been cooking lots, she is trying really hard to support my WOE.
I have cheated few times, had some bread and home made cakes, also too much fruit straight from the garden.
I still have 2 family gatherings to attend this week and will try my best to stay on track

Well done to all for KOKOing

Lovely pork meatballs and zucchini. Made by my mum

Oh C4 you look gorgeous. Enjoy, and hope your daughter has a lovely day as well. ( another one stumped by the the car you twat but glad to hear you're being a carby twat)

C4, you look stunning! You must be one very proud mummy

C4 - you look absolutely fantastic!!!!

Looking good, C4. Hope you are having a lovely day.

Thank you so much for all the compliments, it's given me a real boost because it came from this thread.

I don't like looking at photos of myself but in that one even with my brace on I think I don't look bad for a cripple with 9 kids and 8 grandchildren.

Those courgette twirls look delish, Mandelinka.

C4, that's a great shot, you look so happy and proud. Is it Cambridge, did you say? If so, do yourself a favour and go punting (if you haven't before). A lovely way to enjoy a beautiful day!

C4 you look wonderful. Enjoy every minute

C4 You look wonderful, enjoy this special day. You must be bursting with pride.

Just wondering if I'm eating too much protein and that's been stalling me a bit the last couple of weeks. I'm not eating massive portions of it, but I have been eating meat or fish every day, plus eggs at another meal,which is something I don't normally do. Anyway, decided to drop meat out for a couple of days and see how I go. Fasted this morning, had an omlette with spinach and asparagus for lunch, and I have a very fragrant harissa stew in the slow cooker for later: aubergine, courgette, celery, green pepper, shallots, spinach, garlic and half a tin of chopped tomatoes, plus a mass of fresh herbs and spices. Everything well sautéed in oil before going into slow cooker and will serve with a dollop of creme fraiche. Everyone else can have couscous with their's. It probably would have been ideal for my new instant pot, but still a bit nervous of it!

Cardiff not Cambridge

That'll be a no to the punting, then.

ilovecherries not sure about the too much protein idea. Don't see how it could stall you on a low carb weight loss plan. Though less meat might help with any toilet stalling.
