And off we go! Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp - Week 1

[BIWI]

Welcome everyone. We have over 150 people signed up this time, so it's going to be pretty busy, and the initial chat thread is going to be very fast-moving!

Here is the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness for you to post your starting weight.

Remember, you don't have to input your actual weight if you don't want to - you can index it, which means starting at 100 and then for every pound you lose, you take off a point.

If your name isn't on the spreadsheet, don't panic! Just add your name to the bottom, and then the lovely @AthelstaneTheUnready will re-alphabetise the list.

If you're on the spreadsheet and you don't want to be, don't worry - just don't enter any info, and then you'll be deleted after the first couple of weeks.

Its 6.45am here in Australia and I am pleased to report a 2.5lb loss 😊 I have followed this woe since 18th June and my pre diabetes diagnosis. I am delighted. Hope you all see some scale victories today.

So I started today. I just got back from Holiday. It's gone ok!! Although I've just woken up for a wee... 😂 a lot more fluid than I normally drink!

Early bird with a weigh-in...lost 7.4 lbs. I'm pretty pleased with that.

Good luck everyone getting on the scales this morning!

4lbs loss this week

So happy with that

9lb loss 215 down to 206.
Is that possible?!

Maybe my scales are wrong.

-7lbs! 😲 from 15st6 to 14st 13 😁

Thanks to all esp biwi and athelstone, you've kept me going this week!

Sorry- that should be from 216 to 209 lbs. if you would be kind enough to update the chart on my behalf please Athelstan. Well done all 😁

Whoops!

Weighed in this morning and only lost 1 lb so a bit disappointed. Full disclosure here, I've followed this to the letter but there have been a few voda and soda waters....that said, I did the same regime after my son was born and easily lost a stone without giving up alcohol, so maybe something in my metabolism has changed. Also did a (hitherto unheard of) cycle ride of 16 miles in the New Forest on Saturday, though I know that doesn't help the weight loss, but it did feel good when it stopped :-) I will keep going....good luck all.

3lbs lost (it was 5 on Friday before I got stuck into the wine!) but I’m happy with that. Haven’t had a chance to read the thread since I posted my weight last week but will do so now. Thanks for the constant inspiration and food ideas!

Four and a half pounds lost this week. Really pleased with that as I had been no carbing to my own rules for a couple of weeks before Boot Camp started. On to week 2!!
