Sign up here for January Bootcamp - it's a dry one!

This one will be a short, sharp Bootcamp, lasting just for January.

Allowing for the last of the holiday, we'll start on 2 January - or 3 January if you're in Scotland as you have an extra bank holiday!

The usual Bootcamp rules apply, i.e. you can move on to Bootcamp Light after the first two weeks if you wish - but this time, no alcohol for the duration.

If you want to join, just copy and paste the list, and add your name.

I was in two minds but I feel so rotten after Christmas indulgence, I know this will get the year off to the best start. I've only put on 2lbs mind and @comeonyoublues has only put on 4lb. We were back on chicken, sprouts, cheese and a few blueberries with cream today. No carby treats, no alcohol and all the water. Phew. Feel much better. I really do want to get nearer to 10 stone by mid March so something has got to be done. thank you for keeping us all going @BIWI.

I'm in, disappeared partway through the last bootcamp - dad in hospital, his house move to deal with and some stressful diagnoses for DD at uni. Mostly back on an even keel so ready to focus again, and I can really tell things have slipped. Not sure I dare brave the scales but clothes are snugger and I feel rubbish 😢.
Away until the 6th so will jump back in with both feet then

I'm really delighted this is happening, was planning to bootcamp alone. I have put on a lot of weight this year due to medication I've had to take, and am now pre-diabetic, so am really pleased to be doing this with you all.

I'd like to join too please. I have never done it before, though I always do Dry Jan, so at least I know what I am getting into there. I am the biggest I have ever been 😔. Would also love to see the rules you follow, which is the original thread?

Thank you @Gunnersforthecup for those links too!

I'll be posting the prep thread probably tomorrow, with all the info you're likely to need.

After a difficult year, ive decided to really make an effort. Thinking to do Fast 800 low carb. I'm going to join the local gym too. My son was permanently excluded in October and I'm taking him out to Austrua on the 1st to join a residential snowboarding camp so will start on Jan 7th
