Plan is to start the next one on Monday 5 January, which will run for 8 weeks.

You’re very welcome to start on 1 January if you wish, but starting on 5/1 gives us all time to make sure all the Christmas, carby stuff is out of the way!

… are already signed up, and the very lovely @FinallyHere is going to woman the spreadsheet again.

If you’re interested, add your name to the list (please copy and paste it), and I’ll post some preparatory stuff shortly:

As with other Bootcamps, we’ll have a spreadsheet where you can record your weight each week. As well as the weight sheet, there’s loads of other information on the spreadsheet, so it’s definitely worth reading. That said, you don’t have to be added to the weight sheet. If you don’t want to be on that sheet, please add NO SPREADSHEET against your name when you put yourself on the list.

It will be good to back on boot camp with you all ☺️. Probably much needed by the new year. 5/1 sounds perfect for me - a few days to recover from the new year excesses. Thanks @BIWI and @FinallyHere for gathering us and keeping us on track 🙏

TheOnlyMrsW · 09/12/2025 11:20

Morning all, looking forward to a much-needed reset, doing my best at the moment but there's so much rubbish out there!

I need some advice on supplements and thought you lovely lot would be the best people to ask (if I need to add it to the ongoing thread please lmk). I have been gifted (not sure what this says about me or the person who bought them!) some vouchers for Holland & Barrett and thought supplements might be a good use for them but there's so many...........I already have a multi-vitamin, extra vitamin D and B. I'm always ridiculously tired (even on bc I've never managed the energy whoosh that others have) and knee-deep in peri so wondered if there would be anything else I could add? No idea what I'd spend them on otherwise..........

Thesoundofmusic23 · 09/12/2025 22:58

Collagen and Lions Mane have both helped me during Peri. Esp Lions Mane for mental clarity and energy. Get a good quality one.

RainySaturday · 10/12/2025 00:57

Helloooo... Please can you add me. Cut n paste fail means I can't follow the instructions. Promise to do better with the spreadsheet of glory. X

Busy eating up the stuff in the freezer that’s not bootcamp friendly like anything with beans and pulses in. I tolerate them quite well and it’s the cake/toast/pudding/snacks etc I actually need to eliminate but want to commit to this properly in the new year. There’s definitely some falafel I should try to polish off next week!

BIWI · 19/12/2025 12:00

Just a quick pre-Christmas bump!

Remembered to put my order in for some Srsly Low Carb bread, to get it delivered in time for The Big Day.

If any of you haven’t already discovered it, https://srslylowcarb.com/ does make good low carb bread. I don’t think it toasts especially well, but it’s great for sandwiches. Love a chicken and stuffing sandwich at Christmas.

Anyway, leaving the thread here for anyone else who wants to sign up.

Thanks BIWI, I had success losing on a previous bootcamp but have got back into old habits and need a reset.

CherryogDog · 21/12/2025 14:29

Does anyone have suggestions for low carb food that satisfies no sleep/migraine cravings?
The past week I've had terrible insomnia, a three day migraine, and my appetite/junk cravings have been crazy!
I'm not a snacker usually. But in the "come down" from a migraine I do eat the naughty stuff. The last week I've had the awful nausea hunger constantly cycling.
Fingers crossed I don't get such a long spell again.
