Bumbumbee - hot water with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of fresh ginger is nice - makes you feel nice too & can keep topping it up with hot water

In the summer I was drinking water with a slice of cucumber / orange / lime / strawberry or a combination of some of the above.

Afternoon all! Sorry not to have replied to the many queries but I've been at my dad's having Christmas with my family Ooop North. And with very, very limited internet access.

On the train back home now so I will reply later when I can guarantee a good signal

The princess project (search on MN) recomends starting every day with a glass of lemon water. If that helps.

Green tea is nice. No milk but doesn't taste like you're missing out!

Thanks FourArms. I have most definitely been overindulging and drinking way way way too much as well. I have some leftovers and open wine and chocolates so we are going to celebrate the end of the holidays today and then start cutting back from tomorrow.
Thank you!

I'll be drinking jasmine tea which I love.

Love jasmine tea, too psuedobadger – occasionally treat myself to tiny balls of pure jasmine leaf...

Am debating whether to start tomorrow BC proper tomorrow as well but may wait as like the support on the thread. Still not eating pasta, bread or potatoes though have had lots of wine and chocolate over Christmas. Also eating loads of nuts and berries. Think I've maintained since the last bootcamp, so pleased with that. Would dearly love to shift another 7-10 llbs this BC (trying to be realistic).
My main problem is not drinking enough water so really going to try and work on that this time round...

Thanks BIWI for new thread!

(Athelstane, I have never seen so many anti sugar articles as in the press in the last week. I'm really pleased. Even articles about diabetes never mind obesity. The message seems to be getting though. The Sunday Times Style also has one today Part 1 how to give up sugar)

Tomorrow I'm starting a 'soft' start to Bootcamp Maryz, if you want to join us on that thread?!

Hello, I'm a bit nervous but I think I'd like to join boot camp please? I did low carb with great success in 2012 and looked like me again for the first time in years but have been sliding back into bad habits and at Christmas gave up completely, stuffed myself with crisps, choc and booze and have gained 9lbs since 20th Dec, I shit you not! Not even sure how it's possible to gain so much weight so quickly :-(

I've never done weight-loss with a support network before but this time I think it will really help me. How do I add myself to the list?

Oh and just saw you're doing something that starts tomorrow, good! Will come across to that thread too, if that's ok.

Maryz, have you tried chai? Not the sugary milky version they sell in Costa etc, but the proper spiced tea. I drink it without milk and find it very warm and comforting, especially in cold weather.

Can someone please link the soft start to bootcamp thread for me please? I can't seem to find it.

I haven't started it yet, blizy

I am completely bloated and feel sick through ice cream and carbs.....

Am sooooo ready to start low carbing again.

No softly softly for me.

Eggs and bacon for breakfast.

Pate and salad for lunch.

Chicken with swede mash and cabbage for dinner.

3 litres water.
Milkless tea.

Link to next week's 'soft' start to Bootcamp!

I think I hae added myself on at the end of the list!

I started low carbing in abour September and automatically felt a million times beter and lost a few pounds. Have fallen off the bandwagon drastically and feel like crap. I am starting tomorrow. Had a ton of carbs and sugar today and feel awful. I am within a healthy range for my height but would like to lose about half a stone and keep it off.
