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:

Yes (she says with a nervous laugh). Can someone add me to the list as I cannot work out to copy & paste from an iPad.

MrsDesperado · 18/08/2013 21:51

Me please! Did it last year and now need Biwi's kick up the arse!

I've never done this before but I'd like to try. Does anyone know if LC is okay to do while breastfeeding?

I'm in too. I started the last one but went on holiday about 3 weeks in and came back heavier than before I started! Have been low carbing for about 8 weeks now - lost about 8lbs initially but have stalled for about 4 weeks.

I'm in, but stupid me ipad won't let me C&P the list.

Have maintained my 5stones weightloss from last year's Bootcamps but that illusive last 7lbs has to go. And I'm going to be on a very foodie holiday until 9th Sept so the timing is perfect!

Armadale · 19/08/2013 15:45

Here you go Ilovemyteddy, c&p'd for you- (5 stones-v.v.impressive):

monsters there a could of people bf on the current bootcamp, they have found it fine and will be able to tell you how it was for them I am sure! One definitely had Abby that feed regularly through the night and needed to have some snacks on hand next to the bed either for night munching or first thing in the morning, but both have lost weight, babies have gained weight and everyone is a winner!

Wooo Hooo, bring on the Bootcamp!!!!

StuntNun · 19/08/2013 19:17

Monsters I've been LCing since June when my DS3 was 7 months. I found that because he was feeding three to four times between my dinner and my breakfast that the carb flu hit me hard for a couple of days so I would recommend having some food, e.g. salted almonds, on your bedside table that you can eat when you wake up. It was only for the first few days though, once I had adapted I didn't need it anymore. I started on Bootcamp Light and I take a supplement (Pregnacare Breastfeeding) to make extra sure my nutritive status isn't impaired by the production of breastmilk. I haven't had any problems with milk production and I lost 18 lb in the first seven weeks. HTH.

LillethTheCat · 19/08/2013 19:20

I think I should give this a go, but not sure it's for me (very fussy eater who doesn't like most veg or salad) so want to look at the rules and list of good food to eat, but can't see that spreadsheet on the iPad. Is there anywhere else I can see these lists? Say on another thread?

Dreamingofcakeallnight · 19/08/2013 19:21

Me me! I did a previous one (lurking) and need a kick up the butt. Doing bc lite til then - exciting!!

I'm in. My sugary ways are upon me again and nothing has ever dealt with the cravings as well as low carbing.

Right I'm in I think

I'm new and a bit nervous especially since pasta is my favourite food and is often for our evening meal, so I apologise in advance for the masses of support I may need for those first two weeks.

I can't copy and paste on the iPad so can someone do it for me please?
