Feb '24 Low Carb Bootcamp - week 8 - the last week!

[BIWI]

Morning all

So we reach the end. Final weigh-in will be next Monday.

I'm away right now, but will post later this afternoon when we’re back. Just wanted to get this thread up and running!

Thank you @BIWI - it does feel like sabotage and then I feel a bit paranoid. I brought a SLC roll to have for breakfast and it mysteriously disappeared only to turn up in the biscuit drawer . Wee bit of gaslighting from her (silly you...you must have put it there and forgotten) and then I managed to have my bacon roll!

Off home soon though!!!

I like the sound of your organic gin!

Sadly, I didn't like it and stopped buying it!

It's this one, if anyone is interested

@UnOeufIsEnough how frustrating and sad that people want to bring you down for improving your health and wellbeing ☹️.

@Appalonia I have similar issues with bread, and trying to work out how to eat without it was actually the start of my lc "journey". I can manage the odd wheat product here and there but mainly avoid it apart from an lc recipe I've made myself.

Survived pieday yesterday but there was wine, DD's birthday today no idea how I've got an adult! There is cake and a variety of beige (read carby) food at her request but as we're at home I can navigate that with no issues and our lamb will be tomorrow 🐑.

Happy Easter to all........hope everyone has a restful day!

Thanks @TheOnlyMrsW!

The frustrating thing is that I find the low carb WOE isn't just good for weight loss, but it's great for my lipoedema. It reduces the inflammation and pain in my legs so much!

Ah well - home now and back in control!

I'm up about 1.5lb this week, after a weekend away staying with family. I expected a gain after eating as best as i could, but I'm still down a few pounds since starting the January bootcamp (I've really struggled to commit fully to bootcamp this time so am delighted that I've lost anything at all and not simply gained!). Will be chugging the water today and getting back on track. @BIWI do you have any plans for another bootcamp in the near future?

Absolutely delighted - after weeks of bobbing round the same two pounds I finally weighed under 150 yesterday for the first time in years. I’m finishing on 148 which is a total loss of 20lbs since January. More than I could have ever hoped for. Thanks to you all for a great community, accountability on the grey days and support. I’ve especially loved hearing your recipes - so will def carry on using the recipe boards. 🙏

That's great to hear @Thesoundofmusic23

Final weigh-in and ongoing chat thread
