Re: Roll Call 3-18-09

Morning all. This morning when I woke up was my bi-weekly weigh in and now I'm depressed. In the first three weeks of Induction I lost 12.2 lbs, but when I weighed myself this morning I have GAINED about 5 lbs. I'm sure this is water weight, especially since I measured yesterday and I've LOST another half inch around my waist as well as a half inch in my neck, but seeing a number over 300 again is painful. I'm going to be more careful about salt intake and see if that helps. My Induction has been pretty clean, though one day I did sneak 3 Hershey Kisses (they were just sitting on the table screaming my name!). I've also been a little lax with the exercise so today I'm gonna get back into my routine. I think I may cut out the string cheese as a snack as well, because I feel that cheese might be holding me back. Anyone else have something similar occur to them? At first I thought it was just the natural "after induction slow-down" and I'd start right back up...with losing, but seeing those extra lbs with a 3 in front killed my confidence this morning (that is even with knowing the inches are shrinking...damn that scale monster!!!)

Howdy everybody!

Yeah, I the string cheese. I probably should cut it out, too. I think I'm probably eating too much cheese...

Good day CC'ers. Hope yours is as nice and sunny as mine

Ryan*~ I'm sorry about the mean metal monster showing a 5 lb gain, but very glad you're still losing inches. I don't know what to say about the cheese. I eat about 2-3 ounces of it daily. Usually 1 string cheese (1 oz) and 2 oz of chedder. Edited* Forgot to ask hows your water intake? Drink lots of it. Will help get rid of what your body is holding onto!!

Ruthanne*~ Isn't that energy fantastic!

I'm not real big on the string cheese. But I love the pepper jack because I can eat just a little and feel like I've had more. I put hot sauce all over my little chicken breasts today. They were frozen but when they are done, they are tiny. I slowed down after induction, my water weight was yoyoing all over the place. Then about two weeks later and cheat free it cleared up and my strips got darker. I think your body is freaking out about the weightloss and holding water. Watch out for the salt, and give it a little time. Also excercise tends to build up muscle which will weigh heavier than fat but will be good for you. If I could get 2 1/2 more inches off my middle, I'd about call it done! So measure and relax about the weight!
Oh,there was a reason the chicken breast got coated in hot sauce. I was planning on having hotwings. Been ages since I bought any cause you have wait for them to be cooked. But I did. And when they were done, I saw they had breaded them! GRRR! They got a new supplier months ago, but I had no clue. I was furious. You just are not suppose to put anything on the wing but hot sauce! So I won't be buying anymore there, EVER!

Is anybody able to eat a serving of nuts and walk away? I ask because I ate half a container of smoked almonds on the way home from shopping without realising it. I added it up,835 calories! OOOOPS! I wanted to cheat so bad today. I woke up and wanted to go out to eat and cheat. I didn't do anything but o.d. on almonds though. I think this will be the last container of nuts I'm gonna buy for awhile.
