Count me in, I lost over a stone 2 yrs ago (I'm only tiny) but have piled it back on (and more) by faffing around and trying to please DH who likes wine and roasties at the weekend. I was going to restart on Monday but the extra week means the chocolates in the staffroom won't sabotage my good intentions.

I've started cutting out my bread and pasta type stuff now, still eating my Xmas chocs, but by Monday (back to work) I should be ready to go. :-)

CointreauVersial · 01/01/2014 13:41

I'd like to join, but can't cut and paste on the phone.

Could someone possibly pop me into the List?

Ta muchly.

I started low carbing in 2010, and lost 1.5 stone, but most half of it has piled back on over the last few months. I'm feeling the podge and I don't like it.

I'm in. It's happening. Will probably start from Monday though, as DH - and most of my friends and family! - will be dieting then.

MrsJoeHart · 01/01/2014 14:09

I'm in, but my ipad won't let me cut and paste so could someone add me please?

I've low carbed very successfully before going from a size 18 to a 12/10. Someone asked about thyroid problems, mines underactive and I had no problems in fact I felt a lot better and no longer suffered from some of the problems that I usually attribute tot he thyroid.

Thanks Thanks Thanks

statisticsthicko · 01/01/2014 15:21

I'm in! I'll add my name when I can get to my laptop. I've lost 2.5 stones on low carb in the past, and put about 9 pounds in in last 3 months or so. Most of it in last 3 weeks Blush. I've only ever lurked on these threads in the past but m ready to throw myself to the lions in this time!

BIWI · 01/01/2014 16:13

Hello, Cointreau!

OP posts:
ziggiestardust · 01/01/2014 16:37

Started my 'pre bootcamp bootcamp' today, as I'm feeling like such a mess! Also a good excuse to say no to offers of booze and carbs tbh.

Also, if I wait until 13th, I'll find yet another excuse to not do it!

StuntNun · 01/01/2014 16:57

BIWI if you're already low carbing is there any real reason to do Bootcamp or can I stick with Bootcamp Light for the first two weeks? I did the strict two weeks as the start of the last Bootcamp and I wasn't sure it was really necessary. Obviously if you're just starting low carbing then it's needed to break the carb cravings and get your body used to low carbing.

blizy · 01/01/2014 17:04

Can someone please add me to the list? I can't work out how to do it on the ipad. Thanks in advance ??

StuntNun - do whatever suits you best. I think most of us who have signed up are doing so because we haven't been low carbing over Christmas and have therefore gained weight! In that situation, IMO, the 'short sharp shock' of Bootcamp is a good way to get you back on track - but not essential.

OP posts:
StuntNun · 01/01/2014 17:59

Thanks BIWI I have been trying to keep to low carb but the odd carrot, bit of stuffing, slice of Christmas pud and a few Wine have sneaked in along the way. The worst excess was a piece of turkey and ham pie which was yum at the time but DH and I both suffered the next day.

statisticsthicko · 01/01/2014 18:06

Thank you Mary. Just shovelled last carby meal down - home made steak pie and potato wedges. About to follow with chocolate and raspberry torte. Then. That. Is. It.

I know it's not officially starting til 13th but I can't go on like this !!!!

Tigglette · 01/01/2014 18:49

Hi folks can I join please - my iPad wont let me cut and paste... I did this last year and lost just over two stone, about 5 lb of which has crept back on. I know once I get going again it'll soon drop off.
