I've stalled. I'm only in my second week and I have stalled. To answer the obvious questions:
1. No, I have not been cheating.
2. Yes, I have been drinking water (at least 64oz., but not as much as I
should be).
The obvious answers to why (for me):
1. I think I might have inadvertantly knocked myself out of ketosis or something. I had coffee twice this past week using quite a bit (around 3oz.) of "Half and half." Until I saw the thread about it in the induction forum yesterday, I thought it was okay as a cream.
2. I'm not drinking AS MUCH water as I should be. I need to get in roughly 40-50 more oz. per day.
3. I have not started my exercise routine YET.
Otherwise, I have resisted temptation: from the cake(s) this week, (all 4--yes FOUR-- of them)...to the free cookie offers today (one from a co-worker, and another from the Starbucks Kiosk guy in my building). I even hand-delivered that free cookie from Starbucks to my office-mate, so she could have it.
Obviously, I'm not happy that I'm not down so far this week, BUT, I'm also happy to KNOW that I've not cheated. I have to do some tweaking and be extra cautious about hidden ingredients (particularly in my seasonings because I've been using quite a few for variety), but at least I don't have to make any major changes. I might have to cut the cream out because it might be problematic for me, as I know it can be for some people.
Of course, I must start my exercise routine this weekend. My first week, I was sick, but this week, I have no excuses. Secondly, I MUST work harder to get more water down.
I'll have to tighten up this ship. My goal for the next week (by next Thursday's weigh-in) is to be down by at least 8lbs to 294. You heard it here first.

... It's okay! At least you know what is slowing you down! I've been sick too... and it's horrible. I'm so proud of you that you resisted all those temptations!
It's okay chickie! Like you said to me a few days ago... "we gotta do this together!" and we will!
Just keep your chin up... you can make anything happen with the right attitude!
I'm the biggest weenie, man! LOL
