@fruitstick who knows? (we're all different) but doing nothing certainly won't make it go away. And burning fat has to be good - for your belly, your heart, your self esteem... Give a try.

@BIWI ignore my earlier post - I've managed to do it now ☺️

venusandmars · 30/08/2023 15:33

@RooRooCooChoo one of the things you will learn on bootcamp is how to navigate life events, including holidays. For example (depending on where you are going) fill up on fish and salad maybe with a few chips or steak/chicken and veg; plates of continental cheese, olives, roasted peppers, tomatoes and ham/salami; eat the continental breakfast of cheese, ham, boiled eggs; snack on nuts rather than crisps. Avoid the worst excesses of sugar - have gin and soda not syrupy cocktails, limit your ice-creams to one or two a week.

I'm off to Greece, so really I will have no excuse to fall off the wagon and into a face full of carbs, as long as I can control my own gluttony. But thank you so much for the pep talk. I have heard tell of a big stick, but very glad to see it's not making an appearance just yet 😅.

TheOnlyMrsW · 31/08/2023 09:51

@fruitstick I've been dabbling on and off for about 18 months but joined the last BC properly, lost a good amount of weight that I'm keeping off (mostly). But more obvious than the weight is the inches - at last count it was nearly 4" off hips and tummy and it's really noticeable. Hopefully it will help you lose some tummy too - but it's such an easy woe (again mostly) that it definitely won't do you any harm 😊.

Withinthewhirlwind · 31/08/2023 10:00

Finally going to take the plunge,I’ve been ignoring the creeping pounds for too long - so if I can join please?
low carb works best for me, - no excuse really, I’m on holiday until 8 Sept, so perfect timing too

Hi, I’m new to these threads but please could I join?

I put on about a stone and a half over covid. I’ve lost nearly a stone of that and managed to keep it off, but I’d like to lose the last half stone before Christmas.

Im veggie.

Signing up for the first time. About two stone overweight with a waist measurement in the high risk zone. Mindful eating and going mainly plant based had zero effect. Neither did doing more exercise. Fingers crossed this works.

Please can I join? - I’m menopausal, just started HRT, look like I’m about 6 months pregnant and can’t tie my shoe laces as my boobs/belly get in the way- at least 3 stone to lose (and even then I’ll still be obese according to my BMI) 😞

Thanks @BIWI for starting another BC.
I may not add on to the weight, as I felt the results drive my brain adversely. Especially after a loong stall. Hope that’s okay
