Just giving you all advance notice, so you can decide if you want to join in.

As before, Bootcamp will last for 10 weeks - which will take us up to mid-November. Just in time to get us all ready for all those Christmas parties Grin

And as before, we will have a Spreadsheet of Wonderfulness, masterminded by the lovely WillieWaggleDagger, where you can (if you want) record your progress, week by week.

So add your name to the list if you're going to join:

I've added myself to the bottom of the list. I was on one of the previous bootcamps but have changed my name since.

I'd like to eat less meat, but can't see on the spreadsheet what the carb content of legumes is. Does anyone know about chickpeas?

BeattieBow - legumes are not allowed on either Bootcamp or Bootcamp Light I'm afraid. They are too carby.

Hello

I think I will join you all too.
I will have to add myself later when I m home - can't do it on my iPad.

I shall go back and read all the links now Smile

MrsHerculePoirot · 08/09/2013 10:37

cider yes it is possible on ipad. Hold down finger anywhere on list for a second or two and it will highlight that name blue. Then drag the circles at the end to the very end, and the first one to the beginning then choose copy. The hold down finger for a few seconds in comment box and you'll have option to paste it! This works on safari on ipad, not us about app as I never use it!

CiderwithBuda · 08/09/2013 10:47

Thanks MrsHp - I will give it a try. I tried something yesterday and ended up with the whole screen highlighted! I do MN on safari as not keen on the app.

Hello. My name is MsRinky, and after having been one of the success stories on the early bootcamp threads, I have spent the last few months being a carb guzzling idiot. Gaaaah.

I will weigh in and face the horrible truth tomorrow and join you all, if that's OK. Need to get a grip. Right, off to do low-carb shop.

Report
PrimalLass · 08/09/2013 12:48

Am doing my Tesco shop just now, and also have protein shake stuff being delivered tomorrow. I take it we just weigh and add that to the spreadsheet in the morning?

Report
BIWI · 08/09/2013 13:20

Have you checked the carb count of the protein shake?

Tomorrow I will start the official Week 1 thread, and will put a link to the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness in it. Hopefully Willie has managed to get everyone's names on to it Grin

So yes, just click on the link and add your weight.

I will also link to the recipe thread, and will start a fresh Questions thread.

Yes it's 1.5g. I really struggle with breakfasts and end up starving and eating biscuits so these really help.

Why do you struggle with breakfast? Is it the type of food or just the fact of eating?

OP posts:
Report
PrimalLass · 08/09/2013 17:12

Time, and that I just can't face something savory. I can do eggs etc a bit later but lack the impetus to actually feed myself. Half my problem is that I cba to eat properly during the day (I work from home) and end up grabbing rubbish.

Report
PrimalLass · 08/09/2013 17:14

I'll probably add a raw egg before I blend it.

Report
BIWI · 08/09/2013 17:15

But if you work from home (as do I) then it's much easier! You can buy and cook/eat whatever you want - no need to worry about how to negotiate your way round (yet another) platter of sandwiches!

Do you like yoghurt? I often have full fat Total Greek yoghurt, with some vanilla powder or extract in it.

There's also no need to eat immediately, if time first thing is a problem. But make sure that you do have something mid-morning - this will ensure that your blood sugar level is kept stable, and it will stop you being ravenously hungry, and then grabbing at the nearest biscuit.

PrimalLass · 08/09/2013 17:24

I know, but the problem is that I go past being able to face it and cruise the cupboards for something I can grab. What's the problem with protein shakes? I've been doing this on and off for years and they have always worked well for me.
