Come and sign up if you want to join us. We start on Monday and Bootcamp will run for 10 weeks.

Each week we will weigh in using the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness which is set up and maintained by the lovely WillieWaggleDagger.

You will also see, if you look at the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet, the rules as well as the list of allowed veg, and all manner of other resources to help you.

So that Willie can get the spreadsheet set up in time for our first weigh-in on Monday, please can you all sign in if you want to join?

I'll start the list, so just add your name and then cut and past the list and re-post it.

Hi
Would someone be so kind to add me please, can't do it on my iPad for some reason i started the new year boot camp and did really well but fell of the wagon spectacularly and ended up gaining a huge amount so now ten pounds heavier then last time, couldn't stick to it without the support. Can't wait to start again!!

VikingLady · 23/04/2013 16:11

I'd like to join but don't know what I weigh! I want to get from a size 16 to a 12. As I don't own any scales, is there anywhere that I could get weighed, does anyone know?

slatternlymother · 23/04/2013 16:16

viking most Boots' stores have weighing scales in Smile

VikingLady · 23/04/2013 16:37

Thanks! I'll check in on Thursday then!

BIWI · 23/04/2013 18:05

Woo hoo! Look how many of us there are! Fab.

Custy - all the rules are on the spreadsheet (look at the tabs on the bottom)

You should find it easy though, as you are already the Low Carb Queen Grin

tea - that was a lovely, hugely inspiring post.

HeySoulSister · 23/04/2013 18:13

think I might hop back on board biwi

shifted 3 stone by lurking and following....then joined a local boot camp. fitness part is great but their eating methed is based on palleo. so no dairy but fruit and all veg allowed. i'm finding I've gone back to being hungry!!

some principles they have I will stick with,but rather not have the fruit tbh!

CiderwithBuda · 23/04/2013 18:26

I'm all set to go tomorrow but am happy to stick to Monday weigh ins if that's easier for spreadsheet. Do we add ourselves? Will there be a new April start spreadsheet?

bambootoo · 23/04/2013 19:21

Yes please, I lurked all through the last bootcamp because I didnt think I would stick with it and lost nearly a stone

I'm back in. Although, my 'light' bootcamp really only involves adding wine, nuts and dark chocolate. Hardly rock n' roll.

So I ate a whole packet of sliced leek and cabbage for tea (300g) and alot of broccoli which was according to mfp 17 carbs!! I would be incredibly low carb if it were not for the veg I eat which seems ridiculous really!

I'm in but am on phone so alas can't put myself in the list. If anyone would kindly add me that would be lovely.

prettybird · 23/04/2013 21:18

Been doing ubercamp today: slightly adapted the menu but pretty close with the exception of the little chocolate pots (dark chocolate, egg, milk, orange and cardamom) that were left over from Sunday night (we were supposed to have them last night).

Breakast: omelette in generous amount of butter
Lunch: tuna mayo with little gem lettuce and sliced cucumber
Dinner: Italian sausage (pure meat) with courgette ribbons sautéed in butter, broccoli microwaved steamed in butter.
Espresso sized chocolate orange and cardamom pot.
snacks a few slices of wafer thin ham

Lots of rooibos and water.

NigellasGuest · 23/04/2013 21:22

I'm in - with the goal of losing a stone!

Hi everyone,

I was another lurker on the last bootcamp and lost 18lbs. Have put a couple back on in the past few weeks due to general carb creep and lovely wine, so really looking forward to bootcamp starting on Monday so I can get back on the wagon properly! I've got about 2 stone to lose in total and I hope to get halfway there by the end of this bootcamp :)

Think I've added everyone below but feel free to fix it!

ChippingInLovesSpring · 23/04/2013 23:12

AtYourCervix

I tried to PM you, but the PM function appears not to be working - so I hope you see this!

I low carb as a non egg eating vegetarian. It's do-able, but much harder. It's harder to get enough protein and harder to get a varied diet unless you really enjoy cooking - which I don't!

However, that said - it's do-able and it works! I've been low carbing 13 weeks and have lost 11kg/24lb and it would have been more but I stalled for a month, but I think it was the lattes :( I was counting the carbs in the milk and I was under 30 carbs a day so thought I'd be OK but apparently not...

BIWI · 23/04/2013 23:31

... and can I just say to you all that if ChippingIn, who is a vegetarian (no eggs) can do it, then really anyone can do!
