12 April - the next Low Carb Bootcamp as we leave lockdown!

196 replies

BIWI · 28/03/2021 11:33

As ever, Bootcamp will last for 10 weeks. Starting on 12 April means we'll finish on 20 June, just in time (very hopefully, and keeping everything crossed) for all lockdown rules to be eased.

Sign up here if you want to join!

(Each Bootcamp we create a new spreadsheet where we record our weekly weigh-in - it's not mandatory, so if you don't want to be added to the spreadsheet, please put NO SPREADSHEET after your name)

Yay, second Boot Camp. Thanks @BIWI and elves.
I weigh in kg so not sure the spreadsheet will work for me. I'm not ready to go back to lbs yet. I suppose I could convert my kg loss to lbs and work down from 100? Let's go with that. Then I won't have to know what I weigh in lbs!

@RagzReturnsRebooted you do know that there's a converter on the spreadsheet, don't you?

@Howdidthathappen1 have you downloaded the Google Sheets app? That should it make it easier to access the spreadsheet.

@BIWI I will do but am running on very low signal at the moment so nothing will download - moving house Tuesday and hoping for improved Internet.
Can I change my mind and say yes to spreadsheet as I should be sorted by the 12th!!?

@solongsugar you joining us? Smile

cheeseisthebest · 28/03/2021 16:19

I would like to be on the spreadsheet although I can't do it from my phone so maybe there's no point?

Underthebludgeoningsofchance · 28/03/2021 16:30

Not sure how to join the list, but looking forward to my second boot camp too. I have persuaded my hubby to join but he won't have a mumsnet account. Can he go on as my username + OH please?

Midlifemission · 28/03/2021 16:59

Hello all I would like to join again please. Bootcamp 3 for me and will hopefully be tinkering with maintenance mode or thereabouts.

Thanks as always to BIWI, and all the other amazing posters who make this what it is.
Bootcamp has changed my life ! ( I know that sounds too much but it's totally true !)
