Week 10 - Low Carb Bootcamp - it's the final countdown!

[BIWI]

Morning all

As ever, here's the spreadsheet - making its penultimate appearance

Just this last week before we have our final weigh-in next Monday, so hopefully we can make this a good last few days.

Morning all!

Final weigh-in thread, and general chat thread is here

So happy for those who got to goal!! And for everyone to made it to the end!

Congrats to everyone who completed and especially those who made goal!

I am a bit dissapointed that I only lost 11 lbs, but will keep going on until the next one. KOKO!

Evening all and congrats @BalloonSlayer for reaching your target, that's fab.

I've managed to get to within a pound of mine which I'm very pleased with. 1 stone 3lbs off since 8 Jan which is pretty amazing when I look back on it . Also my thanks to @BIWI for the thread and the inspiration and to everyone on the thread who has kept everyone's spirits up and keeping everyone KOKO.

I'm going to try to get there before Easter holidays and then try not to fuck it all up!! I've not been great this weekend but I've had a lovely time and properly back on it again tomorrow.

I'll be sticking around for chat so hope to still see a few peeps here

I love clotted cream BalloonSllayer last week when I really wanted a scone , I was thinking if I put loads of clotted cream on , it would overrule the carbs .
It didn’t t work , obviously
Been on it this week though 😀
Scales of truth in the morning 👍

Amazing work BalloonSlayer!

balloon yeah! Well done!!

I'm so no longer at goal I'm still claiming it on the xls tomorrow. Just a few too many calories over the weekend.

Planning on running before DH leaves for work at 7am tomorrow. Yeah...wish me luck!

Back to Germany tomorrow. Got to watch myself that I don't fall into any bad habits. There were a few bad choices a fortnight ago that I need to make sure done become entrenched ( cheese, salami and wine eaten as a picnic in hotel bed. That would be it! Oh, but you're jealous aren't you!)

Does anyone else have food in their fridges/cupboards that don't get used as they were intended? I have peanut butter that only gets eaten with a tea spoon. Never on bread. (Not in the first 2 weeks of BC of course!! And not too much). Same for clotted cream. Isn't clotted cream amazing by the tea spoon?!! Oh and if I'm going really mad. Half a tea spoon of peanut butter and half a tea spoon of clotted cream together. A-ma-zing!

Last night I dreamed I ate a hot cross bun full of sultanas. When I woke this morning I had put on two and a half pounds!! I am now back into the 12s :(

@BalloonSlayer you must be thrilled! A huge well done!

@SlinkyDinkyDoo thanks for posting your stats, you have done brilliantly. I might compile mine for tomorrow.

Out to eat last night and my first alcoholic drinks since October. I felt fine and wasn't tempted to binge (why I've laid off the booze thus far). I do feel a bit peckish today though, but pleased to find I feel strong enough to just KOKO. A result for me I think.

That's brilliant @SlinkyDinkyDoo. for you as well

Checking in a day early for the final weigh in of bootcamp.

I've lost another 3lbs this week. Very pleased bringing my total loss on this bootcamp to 1 and a half stone!

Here are my bootcamp stats for anyone looking at this in the future and needin hard evidence that this woe works 😀

Start weight 208lbs
Finish weight 187lbs
Bust -1.5 inches
Waist -2.75
Hips -1.25
Low hips -2.75
Thigh -0.75
Knee -0.25
Calf -0.5
Nothing on the bingo wings.

A big thank you to Biwi for starting the thread and to everyone here for their support. I still have a long way to go but this has really given me a greatbig kick up the arse. I've gone from feeling 'stuck' to feeling like I'm absolutely going to lose the weight.

Congrats to Brassica and balloonslayer for achieving goal. Fantastic! Infact well done everyone for KOKO.

Woo hoo! Brilliant timing, @BalloonSlayer

Just popping in to say at LAST (and isn't this the last day?) I reached my goal!

Thanks BIWI (I am going to PM you) and everyone else too for all the ideas and support!

BIWI Apparently, American cup sizes are not the same as our metric cup sizes - so be sure you get the right cups.

Well done Brassica! Great news.

Hi @doilooklikeatourist! Not bad here, nice comments from your colleague.

@MrsKoala

(Been following thread but few days behind!) I love what you said on 21/3. I think I’m probably the same height/build as you, and my DD will be even taller. I hope she comes to the same conclusion as you (and me), but a few years earlier 😊

Recovered from binge and back down to healthy weight. Managed my third park run at a faster time than last two and I felt good doing it too rather than just being pleased at the end. Friend who I run with even said I was pushing her this week (mostly because after the run I had to take dd1 to a sleep over so I didn't have time to mess about). Good to know I can do more. 34minute 40seconds isn't amazing for 5k but for me - someone who doesn't run - it's bloody amazing!

Meant to congratulate Athelstane as well, re the smoking thing. That’s brilliant.

Well done Brassica!
I have the same shape as you-big blooming shoulders and a sodding large rib cage!!
We have bought the CALIFIA Vanilla Almond milk and the unsweetened iced coffee. Soooooo good!! So smooth. Stopping now!!!

Oooh , well done Brassica
Had a stupidly busy day , ran round like a fool
Then a lovely ex colleague came to see me , and remarked on how much weight I’d lost ( in a nice way , not you used to be so fat type of way ), that was a boost
Had a carb creep meal tonight , chicken tikka masala made with a sauce in a jar, though I added cauliflower and spinach and obviously didn't have any rice
How is everyone getting on
Good day @Rshard ?

Off the scales for a couple of days as been away. Having a glass of red tonight and then out sat and sun so I don't expect to meet target of 'normal' by last weigh in. 2lbs to go but it will be gone by the start of next bootcamp.....

Well done @BrassicaBabe that's brilliant, especially through a tough time 👏

KOKO ladies......

In honour of Brassica, I am having pork belly tonight.

Planting 9 saplings and umpteen random pots of rescue plants tomorrow, and sorting out the veg bed. Nice long walk Sunday, finished with roast chicken dinner (i.e. mostly skin and broccoli in chicken juice) - am SO looking forward to the weekend .

Fantastic @brassica!!!

Well done@BrassicaBabe!

BrassicaBabe FABulous. Really, just so happy for you.
