Bootcamp Campfire Interim thread!

[MrsHerculePoirot]

We could keep chatting here until someone starts a new proper thread...

BIWI Indiscreet question! When you take Berocca do you, like me, get wee that is the colour of a highlighter pen? First time I took it I went to the loo and was WTF??!!!

No, you are weird

No you are completely normal. It's the vitamin B that does this.

What is berroca? And what are the benefits?

Also BIWI you might want to start a new thread whih we can link to before this one fills up!

Hi Convert and welcome! I completely agree about the positivity on these threads - what I love is people sounding so happy and excited about their WOE instead of bemoaning what they can't eat. But then again, low-carb is DELICIOUS!

B: a few teaspoons of Total full-fat, to finish off the tub
L: handful of macadamias and a pot of large prawns and mayo (eaten on the run at work)
D: three eggs scrambled with boursin, and a handful of asparagus

It's been a long week so a glass of Rioja and a bit of choc too... DP is out for the night so I'm watching Most Haunted as he hates that programme

Good point well made, MrsHP.

Come and mosey over to the new camp fire

Evening all

Just back from holiday - very impressed with all the very small clothes buying

Didn't go mad on carbs during the holiday - just didn't fancy them much tbh and like this WOE but didn't deny myself either so had puddings/icecream/chocolate when I felt like it and despite that only put on a 0.5lb. Yay! Keen to get to 8st 7lbs so have another 3lbs to shift before I start maintaining.

Breakfact - fried eggs and bacon
Lunch - bacon and avocado salad with dressing
Snack - yoghurt
Dinner - grilled lamb chops, courgettes, mushrooms and broccoli

Not drinking enough water atm so need to get back into that habit.

Way to go, MissBeeHiving! Welcome back.

MsRinky the flaxseed pizza is brilliant, and it's a good base for a cheesecake. Whatever gets you through it. Cream cheese pancakes can also be used at lasagne sheets - dh took a trip to the mushroom man at borough market this afternoon, so we're in for a treat when I pull it all together tomorrow for a fabulous wild mushroom lasagne, I can't wait.

Aww thanks BIWI - am a total convert - I really missed eating well

Home now thank goodness :o

I can get back to eating properly again (til next week) as the food has been shite in the hotel. The bacon and eggs at breakfast were gross, I had yogurt and berries but I
think they added sugar to the berries. Fish was the only low carb lunch option again only salad leaves and coleslaw to go with it so I had some fruit with cream.

If I tell them I need a gluten free diet next time will that work better do you think?

BIWI
Just wanted to check in and say a big thank you to you...I am down to my best weight ever ( even beating the time I went to Weightwatchers!). I haven't been this weight for about 10 years.

Is the Spreadsheet of Marvellous still going? - I want to write it LARGE!

Your diet thread was the start of it all - many many thanks!
( now, if only some people around me would be kind enough to remark on how well I look....)

You look fabulous, darling !

I'm not sure about the Spreadsheet of Marvellousness - I think it's still going - hang on ....

I can't find one that goes up to today - I suspect FiddleDeFat has left it until we re-start Bootcamp on 1 October, but I've sent her a PM asking if this is the case.

Come and shout about your weight on the new chat thread!

Restarting Bootcamp? fab
Thanks for the compliment too! Seriously without sounding like I'm fishing for compliments - without any nice feedback I was doubting the loss and I even considered the scales had been lovingly altered my DH.

TEN pounds I've lost -that's TEN pounds!
Off to look at jeans for the first time in yonks...

dear lord, today is day 1 of boot camping again. I am so bloody hungry that I could eat anything. I am off on holiday with my (super slim) friends in November and this HAS to be a huge part of motivation for me.

Help me stay focussed, help me stay on track and remind me what I can eat when I am struggling. During the school holidays I have scoffed sugary things and put on 7lbs.

Its on tinternet now, I have to do this! I was so focussed before summer holidays.

Oh, I see we are starting again 1/10. I cant wait until then, I need a head start.

Finbar that's bloomin marvellous work - well done. Must be a wonderful feeling.

People who are Good At Drinking Water - when will I stop peeing like a racehorse? Will my body adapt?

Yesterday was pretty good, I think ...

B: Kedgeree (cauli rice, smoked mackerel and a boiled egg)
L: chargrilled chicken and a handful of pistachios
D: Sirloin steak in bearnaise sauce with runner beans & celeriac chips (YUM)

had a decaf coffee with cream.

have ordered some better scales, might step on them in a few days

arrr I've posted on the old thread. Wot a wally. Will C&P forthwith.

I am not sure your body ever adapts to not peeing like a racehorse, I think we notice it less and I definitley dont pee as much now as I did at the start.

Stood on the scales and they are not working properly. Im going to have to order new ones (again)

Celeriac chips - fried or baked? I need to know......

I don't actually get that 'peeing' thing much now, I can drink 1 pint water at 7.30, a large cup tea (about 1/2 pint) and walk to work for 9. Drink 1 cup coffee at 930 and feel the need to go at about 10. So I feel confident that I can go a few hours without a toilet and still drink loads.

when I made them they were baked

So rub with oil and bake like oven chips?

Hope this works - tis a link to Custy's blog - this is what we do and they are lovely

fingers crossed this works!

Oh my goodness, look at this:

alzheimers called Type 3 diabetes by some scientists

The more I learn about it the more terrifying insulin disruption* seems (and the more I wish I could get it all straight enough in my head to argue with my dad who insists I have got insulin all wrong, which I probably have)

*"insulin disruption" is exactly the sort of home-made nonsense phrase which makes my father roll his eyes, tut, and disregard what I am trying to say (he is a cell biologist)
