Morning all. Very excited to hear the final scores!

Here's the Spreadsheet for its last outing this Bootcamp

We'll keep this chat thread going, and when it finishes, we'll start a new one so that we can keep the support going until next Bootcamp.

MOIST. Hope it goes well Flowers

ninnando · 02/08/2017 10:38

I would love to do the meet up if possible. It's not too far for me and I am much better face to face than typing!

MOIST · 02/08/2017 10:40

As expected I need a little op. It'll be fiiiiiiiiine

Going to make fathead pizza to calm myself.

MOIST · 02/08/2017 10:46

The crap chicken is for the dogs

ninnando · 02/08/2017 11:27

moist That made me smile, I once put a big bag of economy grated cheese in my basket, as I sprinkle a bit on the dog's biscuits to entice them to eat. A woman next to me was choosing cheese and loudly demanded her husband not to buy the cheap stuff. I walked off but felt I should have explained myself!
What do you do with mascarpone?

MOIST · 02/08/2017 11:42

Marscapone for the fathead pizza base. Also nice stirred into spinach or chard,

SummerSazz · 02/08/2017 13:02

grah very close guess - we are actually at A kumal Bay (deliberate space to stop links!)

moist hope all goes well with the op - I'm guessing they've caught it early so hopefully routine and precautionary 💐

lolol at 'too fat' to make meetup 😆

I asked for less sugar syrup in my mojito last night. Small things 😉. Was disappointed by the natural yogurt at breakfast yesterday - 14g of carbs!!! It tasted horribly sweet and I left it after one mouthful.

wombattoo · 02/08/2017 18:04

Sending you good wishes MOIST Thanks
A meet up is not really for me, but I hope you all have a great time and post here to tell us all about it.

Kleptronic · 02/08/2017 18:25

I might go to a meetup if I'm feeling brave. Will there be strong liquor?

ShastaBeast · 02/08/2017 19:16

I'm another Londoner but send my love to birmingham - I lived there once.

I went to a Chinese buffet yesterday and suspect low carb flew out the window despite avoiding the obvious- the chicken and sweet corn soup tasted soooo sweet. I'm seeing a pattern with eating carbs/sugar and then feeling really hungry when I shouldn't be. I took a pack of pork crackling to work suspecting I'd struggle.

MOIST · 02/08/2017 19:18

Thanks for the Flowers and good thoughts. Very much appreciated. I am a total hypochondriac so I'm making the most of it.

I'm having fathead pizza and wine.

Please say if I have missed anyone who has replied.

I was wondering how many people would rely on public transport and how many would be driving? This kind of influences the choice of country pub in the environs vs Brum city centre venue. Also, on dates because trains tend to be subject to hideous engineering work and BRS on Sundays, but this doesn't matter if everyone is driving there or we choose a Saturday.

How about Saturday 16th or Sunday 17th September? Otherwise it's back to the 10th Sept or first or second week of October, which could also be a pre boot camp meet up for the next one!

Indications please of what dates suit, method of travel, type of venue choice. Grin

I'm getting quite excited at the prospect of meeting you all!

HemanOrSheRa · 02/08/2017 19:21

MOIST I saw your thread the other day - it'll be absolutely fine - Flowers for you from another 'Arghhhh I AM LITERALLY, ACTUALLY DYING' type person Wink.

I've grown a mystic third eye on my forehead so I am sat with mag sulph + plaster on top of it to try and get rid of it.

I had a very late lunch today - about 3pm - delicious fancy tuna in organic olive oil with Salad, cubes of cheese and olives. I'm not really that hungry. My bloody crown hasn't settled down, I'm running out of soft food options. Grrrrrr.

YoLoZammo · 02/08/2017 19:31

Hi Moist. Chin up. Namaste, bitch. #mydodgynodescanpissrightoff

Wink
MOIST · 02/08/2017 19:34

#dodgybitseverywherecanpissrightoff

Herman. Can I have a pic please? To cheer me up? Wink. Maybe it's a horn? Like a unicorn?

MOIST · 02/08/2017 19:34

I'm still away 16/17th. Soz.

HemanOrSheRa · 02/08/2017 19:39

Of course! Bear with me.....

HemanOrSheRa · 02/08/2017 19:52

Honestly, my third eye doesn't have the decency to come up in the middle. It looks suspiciously like a MASSIVE peri meno spot Angry. A bit like the second head that is growing out of my chin.

I've got another one below the same eyebrow. It's very strange. In the last 2 years or so, about 10 days before my period, I get MAHOOSIVE cyst like spots around my eyebrows. Lovely.

OMFG Shock. Sorry. Hideous close ups. I need to get me some botox on my 11's Shock.

MOIST · 02/08/2017 19:58

Cor. That's a beaut.

Your eyes are lovely.

Wouldn't get back in time to open me b'day prezzies on the 11th.

Have fun everyone.
You could organize pick-ups from stations for those not local. Then depending how you all get on Hotel.com or Sofa's WinkSmile

Well back to KOKO
B - 1 egg bacon mushrooms
L- Chicken Legs, Mayo hot sauce, Coleslaw, raw Brussels Sprouts
D - Pork Stir fry. if I'm lucky

Apparently last nights stir fry was supposed to be for today as well. But it was just sitting there, so I ate it.

206.6 today down form yesterday and only 5lb bounce up from Saturday's dehydrated 201lb.

So happy I weigh often to see how it fluctuates up and down in a single day.

HemanOrSheRa · 02/08/2017 20:07

Why thank you MOIST. . They look a bit bloodshot Confused. It's so big I don't think it'll ever go away SadWink. And it's going to be disappointing - it won't 'produce' Sad.

TimeIhadaNameChange · 02/08/2017 20:10

Totally not diet related, but you are the only people I can talk to about this. I feel I know you and you are my friends. (Warning, this is very pathetic.)

Got some news today. Not my news, nothing to do with me, and, in fact, it's lovely news, but I'm devastated. A good friend of mine, still a teenager, is pregnant and her parents (and his) are delighted.

My problem - I,m late thirties, can't have children with DP (he'd leave) and am unlikely to have one now full stop (unless I win the lottery then I'm going for sperm donation). What adds to this though, maybe is even worse, is that I know that if I had got pregnant at that age (or even now) my mother would be so very unsupportive. Probably tell me to have an abortion.

If I mention my friends pregnancy I know she'll moan that she's throwing her life away etc, and if I tell her I'm jealous she'll tell me I'm not, and refuse to listen. She's not very good and accepting and acknowledging I have emotions.

I'm just so, so upset about it. I see my friend most days so can't avoid her for the next seven months, and my heart is going to break every time I see her. I am so tempted to go and open a bottle and not stop. (I won't, as I'm too scared of BIWI's big stick, but still!!!)

Kleptronic · 02/08/2017 20:10

Heman ooooooo that's an absolute doozy. You HAVE to to start a sporner's thread when that comes to a head!

Grah Toronto?
