I did the dry January Boot Camp back in 2025 but spectacularly fell off the wagon and probably weigh more now than I did then😔

Have you been following any specific plan @Lexingtonavenueandme?

I’ve always followed the original Atkins not the new version. Edited to add sorry…. After my mum died suddenly I’ve gained a horrendous amount of weight and I know low carb works for me. I’ve been easing in psychologically and practically but I’m ready to go fully in now.

I might be a low participation low carber. I think I will do better at tricking myself into success if I keep my aspirations low key.

Fupoffyagrasshole · 23/09/2026 07:44

I’m new here too

I’ve been following calories deficit using my fitness pal solo for about a year though - no specific plan or anything really just trying to stay on top of my eating 🤷‍♀️

Thanks BIWI for running this. I find low carb works for me. Unfortunately this past year I have had a few health issues and surgeries (all resolved now thank goodness) and I've put a few kgs back. Then i injured my foot and am awaiting surgery which will likely happen in the next few weeks so my main aim of this BC is not a dramatic loss (though that would be nice) but to try and get back to where I was a year ago. I always find the support on these threads invaluable.

@MyThreeWords At the start of this Bootcamp I think it would be very useful for all of us to state what our aspirations for the 8 weeks are. Firstly to check that we're being realistic, and second - obviously! - so we can measure progress, and to be accountable

@Fupoffyagrasshole before I start Bootcamp I'll post a thread with specific information about Bootcamp and how it works. There's also a list of FAQ in the Low Carb Bootcamp topic which you should find helpful. Low carbing is a different WOE (way of eating) from calorie counting, and a lot of it goes against 'conventional wisdom' so you do have to get your brain around it!

New to bootcamp but I’ve been keto pretty much for a decade. Fell off the wagon this year so I’m going low carb to get back in the zone!
