I'd like to join in once I come back from holiday the next week.

I usually have about 6 cups of milky tea or coffee a day, I'm going to have to give that up aren't I? ☹️

Billybumbler · 22/09/2018 05:15

Have been lurking for a long time. Have lost 24 lbs since June. Joining in this time to help me lose the final 10 lbs before Christmas!

Hi All, I was out last night and have seen some photos of myself this morning that mean I can’t ignore my weight gain any more!
I’ve at least 3 stone to lose, am finding size 18 clothes ‘snug’ and would like to get down to a comfortable 14.
I’m also perimenopausal and do no exercise Confused
Can’t wait to get started.

@titsbumfannythelot Yes, you will! You can use cream though, if that works for you?

OP posts:
TightPants · 22/09/2018 15:09

Oh, and I’ve never low-carbed before, but have seen some impressive results with my friends.
Thank you for doing this BIWI, I’ve seen your advice on threads over the years so excited to be doing something positive at last!

BIWI · 22/09/2018 17:16

You're very welcome!

OP posts:
titsbumfannythelot · 22/09/2018 17:36

As I suspected @BIWI, may as well bite the bullet and drastically reduce the tea and coffee

IntentsAndPorpoises · 22/09/2018 18:17

Is like to join. I've never done it before, and feel nervous to give up bread! Does it matter that I've never don't it before?

Justmuddlingalong · 23/09/2018 00:55

Just in. Have been at a 'do.' Am buckled, but stuck to vodka and diet Coke and only had 1 sausage roll from the buffet. I'd call that a result. 😁

ItsalmostSummer · 23/09/2018 02:37

I am excited for this to start. I am low carbing but not strictly right now. Woohoo!!

BIWI · 23/09/2018 08:33

@IntentsAndPorpoises No not at all! I'll shortly post about how to plan for Bootcamp, because there are often lots of newbies each time. I'll also post about how Bootcamp works, so that everyone knows what to expect. Oh, and welcome! Smile

OP posts:
WheelyCote · 23/09/2018 10:33

Cheers Biwi that'd be great👍

I've noticed Greek yoghurt mentioned a lot in the other threads but I can't seem to find

Full Greek ....it's all Greek Style. Is the latter still ok?

Rayna37 · 23/09/2018 11:42

Wheely Greek yogurt tends to be lower carb than Greek style. Look for the shorter fatter tubs. Always check and compare the nutritional content though as it varies between shops and brands. Proper Greek yogurt usually about 3.7g per 100g I think.

NLisa · 23/09/2018 11:52

I’m in!!!

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2018 11:58

I'm in too. I lost 10lb on the last one - but not an ounce since thanks to insidious carb creep. I haven't gained anything back thankfully, but I think I need the discipline of boot camp to motivate me again & keep me on the straight and narrow.

Can someone please add me to the list, can't do it on my phone. Thanks in advance.

BIWI · 23/09/2018 12:03

@WheelyCote

The brand you want is Total (or Fage, which is its Greek name).

I think most supermarkets sell it, but I have noticed that they've stopped selling the highest fat one. So look out for the supermarket's own - they usually all do a proper Greek yoghurt. Sainsbury's do a lovely one, under their Taste the Difference brand.

OP posts:
WheelyCote · 23/09/2018 13:41

Cheers Biwi and Rayna😊
I've seen the Total but they seem to be 0% fat in the nearby supermarket.

I'll shop about...the Greek style yogs seem to be 5-5.5 carbs...so the full Greek, sound much better👍

BIWI · 23/09/2018 16:03

If you go into a Sainsbury's Local or a Tesco Express, chances are they'll only have the 0% fat version. You'll need to go to a bigger supermarket

OP posts:
TightPants · 23/09/2018 17:58

A few of us got missed off IntentsAndPorpoises cut and paste! Then the subsequent list too - can we be added? There are 4 of us Smile

IntentsAndPorpoises · 23/09/2018 20:05

Sorry! On my phone. Maybe someone with better cut and paste skills!

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2018 21:38

OK TightPants & IntentsAndPorpoises, I'm on my laptop so I've fixed the list (I think!) and added myself too.

No worries Intents it’s a proper faff on a phone!

LipstickForADogwalk · 23/09/2018 22:28

Hi everyone, I’d love to join, please. Could someone please add me to the list? No clue how to do it from a phone, sorry! Have been low carbing for a while, I love eating like this but lately I seem to be struggling on the weekends, so some company would be fab!
