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 I would really like to join in, I really need to lose weight but find it so hard to stick to anything. I'm really hoping this might help!

MummyAisha · 26/04/2013 17:41

Just adding thread to TIO so I can add my name when on laptop later. Can't copy and paste all names on list as on phone

Um, I think PoppylovesCheese left a lump of us out when cutting and pasting.

No sure if it matters if we are not all on the final list. (And I am very tempted to say 'oh well' and not do the bootcamp after all, but that would be cheating!):

I am not getting on well with Google Docs spreadsheets Blush I want to C&P so I can print a shopping list and menu plan for the week. Is there an utter idiot's guide to this sort of thing?

twinklestar2 · 27/04/2013 13:25

Does anyone know what they're planning on eating the first day? If you post your menu it may help others?

CiderwithBuda · 27/04/2013 15:15

If anyone needs an incentive - I started on Wednesday and have lost 3.5 pounds so far..........

newlark · 27/04/2013 16:43

I started on Thurs and have lost 2lbs - I know it will be water but it does give you a mental boost :)

My first day was:
Breakfast: cheese omelette (with a bix of ground flaxseed mixed in - couldn't taste it)
Lunch: big green salad with smoked tofu and feta and mayo
Tea: salmon with courgettes and spinach in a cheese sauce (made by mixing cream cheese and grated cheddar with the veg) followed by greek yoghurt with chopped hazelnuts and flaxseed
Snacks - olives and babybel cheese

I'm almost veggie and only occasionally eat fish so I will be eating a fair amount of cheese and nuts which I know might slow the weight loss down a bit...

TheUnicornsGoHawaiian · 27/04/2013 17:48

happyhippy 6 stone loss needed for me too.

FurryDogMother · 27/04/2013 18:11

Wow, I just tried the celeriac dauphinoise for the first time - it was brilliant! (Well, followed a BBC recipe, but used all cream, no milk, and Parmesan instead of whatever cheese they suggested). If I hadn't known, I wouldn't have realised it was potato in there.

Unicorn and happyhippy - last August I was looking at having to lose 6 stone. I'm now about half a stone away from having done just that - so believe me when I tell you you CAN do this, and without much of a struggle really. Just follow the rules, and white-knuckle it through any temptations, and you'll get there. Look at it in half stone chunks - less daunting that way, and treat yourself to something nice (which isn't food) each time you hit the next half stone goal. Best of luck to both of you :)

FurryDogMother · 27/04/2013 18:11

...of course I mean wasN'T potato in there...sigh

Signing up - I lost lots this time last year and got within a couple of pounds of my target thanks to these threads.. Sadly it has crept back on since the Autumn so I'm now over a stone up.
