Well, week 15 of Bootcamp has just ended. But the support and banter will continue! I, for one, am carrying on for the next couple of weeks until my holiday, in the hope that I can drop another pound or so before I go.

There have been some brilliant losses in the last two weeks, so I'm hoping that you'll all be sticking with it too!

BIWI I would be up for helping with bootcamp as a project while DH is away. You will have to tell me what sort of things you want me to do though, nearer the time.

Have a lovely holiday biwi and goddess

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 10/08/2012 21:23

Just popping in to wish anyone who happens to be going on holiday tommorrow a great trip Wink

Well done to all the losers Smile

I think the stall I've had for a couple of weeks has lifted because I've lost 2 lbs this week so far. Been sticking to this WOE without much difficulty, which makes me hope that is is sustainable for me long term Smile

Off to Egypt in 2 weeks time and would like to lose the bits of flab that are clinging to my tummy and hips, which are always the last to go.

Am still so bloated; am looking 5 months pregnant atm...hate it.

Have fun!

MsRinky · 11/08/2012 08:04

Ooh, van talk. Me and my candy apple red 1967 split screen are off on holiday today!

Hope I don't put on too much over the next eight days, but I'm confident that I'll be back on track when I get home.

mummyduff · 11/08/2012 08:09

Morning all and have fab holidays to all those going awaySmile

I have just dropped DH & DS1 at the train station, as they are spending the day in London at the Olympics ;-))

So its garden time for me and DS2.

sybilfaulty · 11/08/2012 09:07

Will there be anyone left or will I be talking to myself? Have fab hold everyone.

Been for an hour long swim, still not hungry after my pork chip and looking forward to another day of lovely food nod fun with the kids.

sybilfaulty · 11/08/2012 09:07

Fab hol, not hold. Bloody iPad.

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 11/08/2012 09:08

Have a great time, BIWI!

Envy of Jins being in France and having raclette - I love it, and perfect for low carb!

Have added a breakfast recipe to the low carb section, just for you, OliviaMN. [suck-up]

Thegoddessblossom · 11/08/2012 09:13

Have a fantastic time BIWI!

Dh says he wants to low carb on holiday so that's great news.

9 2 again this morning and scales hovered on 9 1 so back to where I was hurrah. Hoping for 9 before I go on hols Monday night. Sharon we have a villa in Greece (Crete) for two weeks, very excited and am packed already Sad

Greek yog for brekkie, to get me in the mood. Grin

SingingTunelessly · 11/08/2012 09:51

Morning all! Those of you off on holiday have a great time. Sybil, I'm still here with you. Smile

9.12 hurrah! Am I being a bit dense but I can't seem too find the spreadsheet? Confused.

Off to have a look at our recipe section.

hazchem · 11/08/2012 10:18

Opps I thought I;d bee in time to farewell BIWI.

Emma too late for your sweet cravings now but yesterday i had a handful of frozen raspberries and a good splodge of double cream. I just sort smooshed them together until they were bright pink. insanely sweet but really tasty.

Thanks for the cheese instead of pasta lasagna. It went down a treat at the dinner party. I'm going to make it again on Sunday so will try and jot down amounts and timing so it can go into the recipe spot.

E: 20 minute run (without the push chair!)
B: 2 egg omelet with slice of cheese.
S:rounds of cucumber and sliced cheese ( i needed a bit more bulk in my breaky)

Not sure about lunch yet maybe some tinned mackerel.

On with to the packing. We are emigrating in October so trying to sort out the flat, my weight, ect.

SingingTunelessly · 11/08/2012 10:47

Thank you mummyduff Smile

I've decided my weigh-in day is a Friday. This is due to Monday morning sometimes being depressing after a weekend's lapse due to socialising and more likely, too much wine drinking. Blush. But DH and I are both so into this woe that come Monday morning we're straight back on the wagon. Love it.

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 11/08/2012 11:05

Singing, I find that having weigh-in hanging over me on a Monday makes me stick to it at the weekends better. It's a good way of resisting the 'oh fuck it' moments when I want to buy a giant cake and eat it all!

Hazchem, where are you emigrating to? Sounds v interesting.

emmak86 · 11/08/2012 12:19

Morning all Grin

Glad to see theres some of us left whilst te others are on hols Smile

No breakfast today.. Have had a 500 ml bottle of coke though on the walk home :/
L- chicken ceaser salad, with a boiled egg

Not sure about dinner yet!

Got over the sweet craving last night by downing some squash before i went to bed, it did work HOWEVER i was up and down to have a wee all night :/ lol!

I see alot of people seem to have raspberries/ strawberries and cream.. Thing is i dont like any cream unless its in something you cant taste.. Fusspot i knowSmile

Have a nice day all
