My ipad isn't letting me cut and paste, do you think someone could do it for me after adding my name at the bottom. Pretty please

Thats very true.
I have lost over 5 inches from my waist since summer 2012 when I I rest started!
Also 4 inches off boobs, and 2 inches off each thigh.
I can now get my lovely knee high winter boots on again!

count me in!

stuntnun - you should keep reposting that :) I definitely 'shrunk' more than I 'lost' and I found it helpful to know why that was, I think it keeps you 'hanging in there' when the scales are fucking you off being less than co-operative.

BIWI eloquent

What page are the rules on please?

givemeaclue - I don't use pages - but it's not far up the thread

Could someone kind and lovely please add me on to the list and post for me as my ipad isn't playing. I would be very grateful and promise not to beat you in the weight loss stakes ( highly unlikely I will be beating anyone!)

Hi BIWI and everyone else!

I'm hoping to join on the 13th but I'm dairy-free at the moment so I can't add butter/cream to dishes to up the fat content and can't eat yoghurt either.

I really want to do this and I know from previous experience that planning ahead helps stick to this woe so what shall I stock up on?

I already have coconut oil that I could have in coffee for almost bulletproof. I also have groundnut oil which I've been using to cook veg in instead of butter. I usually make salad dressing with olive oil so ok there. If I have a salad for lunch, I'll usually include an avocado, some chicken with skin, veg and an oily dressing.

My breakfast is usually eggs, albeit with oil instead of butter now. I do use mayonnaise but rely on jars - for some reason I can't get on with making my own.

Any other tips? I want to make sure I have enough fat so that I get hungry and reach for something sugary.

Err, that should be don't get hungry obvs!

I would like to join please (iPad won't let me copy and paste). Probably should step away from the mince pies as I sign up...

CobOnTheCorn - why the groundnut oil instead of butter? Butter doesn't count as dairy, and is probably better for you anyway. Coconut oil is also brilliant. And make sure that your protein choices are fatty ones - e.g. not just lean chicken or fish

Doing this on the iPad is not easy!

Namechanging again... fed up with lily-amaryllis or lily-annie. I've changed my name in the list below and added four others that had asked to be added in the last couple of days.

Chubby your menu looks great - love the sound of the spinach & ricotta aubergine - maybe you could pass on the recipe? I would remember you can serve your veg with butter, to make sure you have enough fat. Also, if you're struggling with the total yogurt, its great mixed with vanilla essence, or cream, and some people say cinnamon but I've not tried it. When you get to bootcamp light you can have berries with the yogurt which is great.

All of you starting today or earlier than 13th, note down your start weight so you can claim the full effect of what you lose!!

Delighted to be joining. Have combined low carb very successfully with some running in the past, but 15 pounds have crept on over the last year...easily done but hopefully easily lost!

Stunt I need to cut out the white wine because I drink too bloody much of it, not so much because of the carb content!

I'm looking forward to it. I have low carbed before and found it quite easy but allowed myself to stray and stil need to lose somewhere between a stone and a stone and a half, preferably by April!

There's still Christmas crap in the house. Neither DH or I want it but the voices of our mother's ring in our heads when we think about chucking out unbeaten food! Guilt everywhere.

Mothers. Apologies for the rogue apostrophe. See, more guilt.

Couple of questions if that's ok?!

How many grams of carbs am I allowed in first 2 weeks? Soft start yesterday, after lunch admittedly, and was undone by a can of emergency desk-drawer soup, and an onion, so ended up just under 50g for the day. Today I should end up on about 25g.

I love tea... And milk seems to be a bugger, not sure I can switch to black - what do I do??

My husband loves carbs and does calorie counting, any tips to cook once? Or how can I convince him? He really is addicted to carbs.

I'm Logging food on myfitnesspal and seem to be coming out at about the 'right' number of cals, magically. Is that actually how this works??!

Thx in advance.

I normally have breakfast in the office and on LC diets in the past I was having porridge. I see this is not allowed by the bootcamp rules. Is yogurt my only quick and easy office breakfast option?

Just to add, am only logging on MFP to track carbs, not calories, but it reports both.

Tia

Wow! Loads of us! Still eating christmas leftovers here but doing an online shop for next week and trying to start incorporating the rules.
What is the view on honey in cooking or in yoghurt?
