Here is the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness
Hopefully the scales are moving for us all now, albeit rather more slowly than they were to start with. And this is good. Honestly!
To keep weight off, it's much better to lose it slowly and over a longer period of time. Remember, despite how people may talk about low carbing, this is not a crash diet. It's a way of eating designed to allow you to switch to fat-burning, rather than carb-burning, which will therefore allow you to lose weight - and which brings with it a myriad of other health benefits.
Please share with us your successes as well as your frustrations. Even if we're struggling, which all of us will do from time to time, and it might be galling to read that others are doing well, ultimately it's important for us all to hear the successes because it helps us to (continue to) believe that this is a WOE which can work for us.
And PEACE AND LOVE!
Hope you all have a good week.

Week 6 - Autumn Low Carb Bootcamp - and we head to the finish line!

Another drop here although I'm going by yesterday's weight due to my late night duck curry last night. 
While the oft touted 1-2 lb weight loss a week doesn't seem very exciting or fast enough it does mean that your skin has time to keep up with the weight loss. When I started LCing I had a rapid weight loss at first but it left my stomach looking like an empty sack for a while until the skin and subcutaneous fat shrank back into place which took a surprisingly long time.

good morning losers! just wanted to share a mini triumph with you, i didn't manage to stick to bootcamp the first two weeks and so haven't joined in the discussions here as i didn't feel i could encourage anyone - but, but BUT - with just a pound off this morning those magic little words popped up on my scales for the first time EVER (i bought these scales about 3 years ago, when i was nudging 12 stone) "HEALTHY WT"!!!!! my BMI is apparently 24.7 - i have never really taken much notice of that figure but was always mildly offended at the scales telling me i was "OVERWT"!!
i have largely adopted low carbing as a WOE since the april bootcamp, and am so grateful to have found BIWI and Willie and these threads, i really wouldn't have believed it was possible as i have struggled for most of my adult life with weight issues. i still have a way to go though - would like to be under 10 stone if possible (and haven't been there for 2 decades)
good luck to all and thanks again for the support 
Ruby Congratulations, that's brilliant!
Mouse hope you and your wee fish are feeling much better now.
Negroni, just for you (and anyone else who's a bit 
that I seem to lose the weight quite easily), I've put on a lb this week. God the sacrifices I make for you all! 
I'm actually pretty pleased with that because I had a carby twat lunch with DMIL on Tuesday which wasn't even that nice, and then a total blow-out this weekend. My oldest friend took me took me out for a meal in London as a belated 40th treat. It's very rare that I get the chance to get all dolled up and go out on the town so it was rather exciting. I even wore my sexy high heeled boots, which I haven't done for years! My friend couldn't get over how trim and slim I'm looking, which was great for my self confidence. Even better for my self confidence was the fact that the gorgeous Brazilian waiter flirted outrageously with me all evening and gave me his phone number!! 
Seems I'm not quite as over the hill as I feel most of the time even if looking that good was a bit of trickery created by make-up, a new bra and some flattering clothes!
Hope the whoosh fairy is at her most beneficent for everyone this week. I need to get my nose to the grindstone again to shift this last 10lbs.
Afternoon, tis me, Mouse
WELL DONE TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE LOST WEIGHT OR INCHES!!! :) :)
2lb here this week, which is a miracle because my bowels are sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooower than ever just now so a good proportion of my weight is waste.
Crabby - we're better today thank you, Nemo was sick in the night, really sick, one of those projectile voms that shoots across the room, and I managed to catch it in a bowl. It was just a build up of snot and mucus bless him. He's absolutely fine today though, as cheeky as ever and getting cuter by the day, he high fived his 1-1 as she came out to get him this morning!
Thank you to BIWI and the fab Willie for continuing to keep these threads going week after week and helping us out :)
I'm now at 9st 7lbs so just want to maintain now, would I be better to switch to Bootcamp light? All thoughts welcome :) x
Mouseface - you do make me laugh! Glad you are feeling so upbeat.
Collywibbles - My shape has definitely changed. After decades on the low-fat Rosemary Conley type WOE (and staying, to be fair, at 9st4) I still never got rid of my love-handles.
Over a year ago I started Low-carbing, (when I got to nearly 10st, and I can honestly say that even though I am back to 9st4, my love-handles are gone. I have a theory that it's there that the glycogen stores are stacked.
I had a comfort eating requirement this afternoon due to moving house stresses and a non-sleeping baby with sore teefs but managed to rescue it from a Crunchie ice cream, which I really wanted, to two lamb chops with mint sauce, which I really enjoyed. Only problem is I don't really want my tea now which DH is cooking.
B: three strawberries and Greek yoghurt
S: ten almonds and six macadamia nuts, one Babybel
L: bacon and mushrooms
S: two lamb chops
D: low carb sausages and leek fried in butter (but too full of lamb to eat much)
Did the dog enjoy his dinner FrenchFemme ?
2 out of 3 meals have been good here but 3 meals have been eaten. water is well down on where it should be and there might have been a close encounter event with a rather large pot of coffee
B: scrambled eggs cooked in butter
L: erm sunflower seed rolls with butter on it
T: Spag bol sauce on top of cauliflower with cheese on top.
Now to fix the lunch bit and I might be heading back on track. Hopefully. Maybe.
