No spreadsheet to link to this week, as the LBD challenge is now over!
I don't know about anyone else, but I have definitely not had the greatest of weeks, and I'm keeping on keeping on until we get to Christmas.
Not quite sure yet what my own Christmas strategy is going to be, but I also guess it depends on where I've got to with my weight by then. I know that, having achieved my first major target of losing 2 stones, I still have more to go. So my next really major, very psychological target, will be to reach 9 stone. Something I have been trying (and failing) to do for the last 10 years! But now it seems so much more achieveable, especially with all you lot giving such brilliant support.
This week for me starts with a super strict day today. I'm out to dinner tomorrow, with a groups of ex colleagues, and venue is not yet chosen, but is likely to be a Chinese, which always brings its own problems. not to mention the wine
I'm also out to lunch on Friday, so it looks like Wednesday and Thursday will also have to be super strict!

Well I managed my run. It was the first one in 4 months so i didn't go far or very fast. The cold air was not great on my chest but i felt good while running but like death when i stopped and went in the warm house 
.
It has made me realise that i do enjoy it and need to get out more so i can improve on distance and speed and i need to get back in the gym aswell seen as i am paying for it.
Afternoon ladies and well done all you super energetic ones with your running, walking etc
Needless to say I am just sitting on backside with feet up...
Jan It will get easier with Ex DH it just takes time. I really related to what you and dosh were saying about food and exercise etc when younger, I used to only eat once a day and if I felt I over did it used to make myself sick or work out
It took a long time to realise how silly I was being! I now work out because I love it and since this woe have a much healthier outlook re food.
Toomuch put it behind you, whats done is done.
MrsHP well done on not indulging in all those chocs etc
I cant wait to get back to the gym, its not in my nature just to be sat on sofa doing nothing
Hi all, I fell spectacularly off the wagon last night and am suffering for it today but the less said about it the better
toomuch you and me will sit on the naughty step together and give each other a pep talk! (Actually I would sit anywhere warm at the moment, it is fecking freezing here even with the heating on. I look like this 
)
I'm working towards a healthier attitude to food and weight but know I still have a long way to go. It's sad that we get such skewed thinking
half Mine has come back twice in 25 years but smaller than the initial one and resolved itself both times.
I will see your running gymming and biking and raise you swimming this morning and squash this afternoon. Jeez I had forgotten how hard squash is I am not going to be able to move tomorrow.
C'mon BIWI!!!! When you think what I could be like, the odd nut and drink are NOT major wagon topples......and that is all the time, not just during BOOTCAMP proper!!!! (not sure I am convincing anyone )
Jessica yes feeling a lot more with it today
can't believe how many books I have read and also just got a new app on mobile. its the Atkins carb counter and recipes, seems quite good
flipping scales not working
hope everyone s weigh in goes well.
BIWI I was just wondering if the tablets I am on will affect weight loss? codine and strong ibuprofen
Teehee, who would have thought a group of grown women hiding from a metaphorical big stick!
I am glad I have Friday as my weigh-in day and had already put my weight on the spreadsheet as I have had a very odd weekend. Has anyone else found that alcohol affects them peculiarly on this WOE? We went out on Sat and had a fair, but not ridiculous, amount of wine with our meal and had a gin and slimline tonic after. On the way home I felt a little odd and remember asking DH if I was slurring but he said no, said goodbye to friends, etc and didn't feel drunk but then have no recollection at all of going to bed and felt quite unwell in an odd way yesterday, not like normal hungover, no headache or sickness, just a bit queazy, very shaky and emotional Consequently didn't do low carb all day and apparently have put on 6lb overnight! 
............and that is why I am hiding from the big stick! I'm viewing it as a learning experience (say no to Sauvignon Blanc as well as puddings!) and back on the straight and narrow today.
The thing you have to remember with wine is that it is very carby very quickly!
Lots of water, and that weight gain will soon disappear.
