Right chaps, while BIWI is drinking prosecco in sunny Italy away being busy and important, I'm your supply teacher for the next couple of days. BIWI has given me temporary responsibility for the Big Stick, so no messing about at the back there!
Well done on getting to week five, it's not easy and despite the fab support on here you've done this yourself, so remember how far you've come.
Please record your weight on the spreadsheet and marvel at your progress!
Temptations will come along, especially over bank holidays and half term treats, but remember that you're doing this for yourself, so be kind to yourself by not giving in to the temptation from things that do you harm and risk derailing you, as every time you look after yourself in this way it get easier. If you have a wobble, post on here - we'll remind you of all the tasty things you can have instead and why.
Have a lovely week!

Low-carb diets
Week 5 - summer low carb bootcamp

Oh Buda. You have let Bootcamp down. You have let Mumsnet down. But most of all, you have let yourself down ...
Get yourself back on the wagon and over to the week 6/new leaf thread!
Good move confessing here Cider! New week, new thread, new start. 
Evening all, welcome all newbies and any other lurkers out there, don't be shy, come on in!
B 2 eggs scrambled with butter, double cream and a little grated cheese
L cold roast chicken thigh, big salad with feta and oil
D was caught out and had to work later than I expected so just grabbed a pack of cooked chicken fillets (Tesco brand) part of my emergency stash in the fridge at work
S when I got back from work I was starving so I had what was left of DHs lamb curry, (just the curry bit no rice or anything) pretty low carb as I know what goes into it.
Again, not enough veg today but I did drink loads of water. Even up here in the NE it was a pretty warm day and inside my work was very warm so it was easy today!
Good luck for weigh ins tomorrow everyone (am off to cut toenails, remove all body hair, pluck eyebrows, it all helps )
crabby i am having exactly the same problem - and for the same reasons! (wine last night) and tonight i'd had enough of not eating with the family so i just tucked in and shared the giant mushroom pizza that DH had brought home to save me from having to cook...
i am very 
that i don't seem to be able to stick at this any more. i'm not a cook, and i haven't a clue about what's in the food i eat (ie whether it's carb-heavy etc) - i also have a problem eating fatty meat/butter (though have come to love eggs in the past month!) i bought the total yoghurt but it was far too rich (to the point of making me gag), i find the lidl one much more acceptable. i also find i am looking longingly at the freshly squeezed orange juice in the fridge - and at the fruit in the fruit bowl...
will weigh in tomorrow but am not expecting any movement unless it's upward (also my TOTM). i'm sorry this isn't helpful just moaning but i will take on board what you say MrsHP (i realise that it's no good being half-hearted about this WOE and then expecting to be able to drink alcohol) - it just undoes anything good i've achieved during the day and makes me crave carbs the next day.
hope everyone else has had a more successful weekend...
Oh and thanks for the bicarbonate in water tip (though it tastes FOUL) - am trying to just flush it out without going to the docs... And whoever mentioned Coral Reef - I love that place, grew up nearby. I once won a year's membership in a competition when I was little and it was basically my proudest achievement ever
MrsH I know it's the white wine that sets off the cravings again. It's always been my downfall.
Thanks pretty I will try that.

BIWI the problem is that I'm quite finicky about my food and if I don't fancy something, then I just can't stomach it. So the problem is that I'll go to the fridge and there's nothing I fancy that doesn't have a carb component (ie to eat boiled/scrambled eggs I want toast with it, things like bolognese I want pasta with it etc), so I end up just snacking on cheese and tomatoes or something. So I'm hungry but have no appetite for what I'm allowed, if that makes sense. 
And I love fat (cream, butter, oil, not fatty meat though), but lately I've been finding myself gagging slightly when eating fatty meals.
