@Andi2020 I had to have a 24hr blood pressure monitor on recently, which was a real pain. Did you sleep? Thankfully mine showed that I don't have high BP but that I do suffer from White Coat Syndrome!
@OnceUponAMidnightBeery 
no I didn't go to school in South Wales!
@mermaidsariel and @Bestbees I'm sure this has already been answered, but it sounds like an electrolyte issue - potassium in particular, but also magnesium and sodium. Definitely try and get hold of a supplement if you can.
@Bestbees - really well done on reaching your lowest weight. I, too, find that I have to be careful with cream - very sadly.
@BSky maintenance is actually the hardest part, I think! A couple of pointers - when you reach the weight you want to be your target, you need to allow yourself a range either side, as your weight will fluctuate naturally - and also as you introduce more carby things, the weight may go up a little. I'd suggest a range of 7lbs. Second thing is to introduce carbier things gradually - so at one meal a day, for example, rather than at all three meals. And keep an eye on the weight - as soon as it reaches your 'ceiling' weight, go back to stricter eating. But don't, whatever you do, take your eye off the ball and think you can start eating pulses and bread (and pasta and rice and drinking wine ... !) because all that will happen is you go back to square one.
@Pleaseandthankyou it sounds like you're handling maintenance really well! The important thing is about making this WOE work for you as a longer term, lifestyle change. Inevitably there will be days when you decide to (or have to) go off plan - and it's fine. You have tools/strategies for dealing with that now! 
LOL at Gordon is a moron and Jimmy the Trombone @Random789 and @venusandmars!!!
@MotherBuckets sorry to hear about your DD. The teen years aren't much fun generally (I seem to remember), but anxiety and the current Covid situation must make things so much harder.
I really don't enjoy running either, but I had to accept that if I didn't heave my arse off the sofa that I was not doing myself any favours, health-wise. I'm hopefully back to the gym with my PT soon, so might cut the running down to just once or twice a week.
@SunsetSeaCow welcome back! Lots of posters confessing to their sins already - no need to disappear if you transgress
@colouringindoors
is there anything I can do that I'm not already, to maximise loss. Don't want doldrums to get the better of me?
The key thing in week 3 and 4 (possibly 5 - prepare yourself for that!) is to make sure you're following the rules and not allowing carb creep. It's obviously working for you, despite no change on the scales! That's why we advise people to take their measurements as well as stepping on the scales. Just relax and make sure you're enjoying your food.
@TheHoover I'm the last person to ask for S&B advice . But if you wear them with trainers out of work, would it not be possible to wear them at work? Trainers are very much a fashion accessory these days, are they not? If not actual trainers, then why not trainer-type shoes? these are an example of the kind of thing I was thinking of
Well done @prettybird - I'm sure you'll get there! How brilliant it will be to see the scales start with a 10
@Random689
I feel very mindful of the fact that science is in a 'corrective phase' at the moment -- rectifying an oversteering towards carbs and away from fat. There does seem to be a danger in some of the literature of overcorrecting, so that we demonise carbs too much. I imagine that eventually that will settle down a bit
I think we need to make sure that when we say 'carbs' we know which ones to be demonised! Absolutely nothing wrong, at all, with vegetables, salads and (most) fruit - or pulses and legumes. But sugar and wheat are very problematic.
@FusionChefGeoff re beetroot - I genuinely have no idea why pickled beetroot should be less carby than fresh stuff!
Re almond milk, no it doesn't count as dairy. No idea what else you could do with it - I don't like it very much so always end up throwing most of it away if I have bought any.
Glad to hear things are picking up for you.
@ListenLinda poor DS 
I hope you find something that works for him soon.
@Stokey yes almond milk is allowed!
I seem to be eating loads compared to others on the thread but definitely feel like my tummy's getting flatter
The rule of thumb on Bootcamp is to eat enough to satisfy you. It's not a WOE that's about deprivation. Obviously that isn't carte blanche to over-fill your plate and stuff your face though!
Brilliant @MrsBertBibby! 
@ElasticFirecracker
I've read on here 'keep away from the tracker' does this relate to a carb tracker? If so, why is it not good to track carbs?
This generally refers to My Fitness Pal which a lot of people use to track their calories (mainly) but also their carbs. It's entirely up to you if you want to track your carbs - but the idea of Bootcamp is that if you follow the rules then there should be no need to do that, as your carbs should be low enough for you to lose weight. That said, if you have no idea how many carbs are in your portions, then weighing and counting for a while is no bad thing.
(Just be aware, though, that the values given on MFP are not always accurate)
I was thinking I should probably start racking them because although I think I am following the plan, I don't think I am actually losing any weight
Why do you think this? Why do you think you're following the plan?! You either are or you aren't! Are you weighing and measuring yourself?
@BestIsWest and @FusionChefJeff - sorry to hear about your appointments. However, the NHS 2WW is a truly wonderful thing, which does mean you don't have to wait around forever worrying about things. Fingers crossed all turns out well for you both. (And very sorry to hear about your mum BestisWest)
Fingers crossed for you for a '1' on Monday @ouchmyfeet
Right. Phew! Off to make dinner now - back later!
