Re: How's everyone doing? update thread!
Wow everyone is doing really great! It's day 14 for me & I've lost 8 lbs.
I stumbled a little, but, with the help & support of everyone here I made it.
I was contemplating doing induction for one more week, but, I think I'm going to move on to owl.
I have to reread the DANDR regarding owl & look on the boards cuz I have no idea what the steps are. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you over in the owl thread!!

. Since the 1st I am down about 6lbs. Of course I lost and gained back the first three and had to work to lose them again. Did the same d*mn thing with the second three pounds! UGH!!!! Nothing like making myself work harder!LOL
I am REALLY tired of eggs... I fry them or scramble them, and sometimes sprinkle some cheese on them. I usually have 2 or 3 strips of bacon, and twice I have had one sausage patty from McDonalds just for variety, but I really don't like sausage. For lunch I have salad with lettuce, celery, sometimes cucumber, sometimes green pepper, about a tablespoon of either sunflower seeds or soy nuts, and shredded cheese plus either a chicken breast or a piece of pot roast or a hamburger patty. I have also had Arby's chicken club salad which has bacon, grilled chicken, boiled egg, and salad greens. Very handy for work days. For supper I will have either chicken breast grilled with some strips of green pepper sauteed with it, or a hamburger patty with cheese, or pot roast or a pork chop, whatever kind of meat. I have either a salad again or some cauliflower with cheese, I used the recipe I found in the recipe thread that makes them kind of like mashed potatoes with cheese....pretty good! or, string beans, or raw veggies like cauliflower or celery with cream cheese. Sometimes I have breakfast for supper if I don't feel like eating a big chunk of meat, I'll have eggs and bacon. I never use dressing on my salads, never did because I don't like it. I have cut my coffee down from 2 pots a day to 2 cups a day, thanks for the blasting headaches!! If I need a snack, which I do pretty much every day, I will have a few soy nuts, sunflower seeds, or mixed nuts-all 4 carbs or less. This week I found MetRX Protein Plus low carb bars which are awesome-only 2 carbs, and they're chewy choclatey! I used to eat the regular high-carb ones sometimes if I didn't have time for a meal. I am drinking between 1.5-2 liters of water each day, which I am finding my body craving water now! I take my water with me everywhere. I go back and forth between plain water and the WalMart American clear flavored no-carb, carbonated water, depending on what I feel like. I have not had one iota of sugar, pasta, bread, potato, starchy veggie, dessert, soda, nothing of any kind since Jan.9th. I am really getting discouraged because I expected a little more out of this by now, especially considering how I used to eat. I had a gigantic bowl of cereal every day, and thought I was doing good because it was special K lol...I used to have AT LEAST 2 sweet desserts each day, candy bars, soda, frequently a whole bag of microwave popcorn, snacked on cookies (and I don't mean one or two cookies-more like 10 or 12!!) I was BAAAADDD...so that's why I thought things would move just a little faster, considering the major huge change in eating. I also went out and bought myself the Tony Little gazelle and I absolutely love that thing!!! I work on it 20 or 30 minutes in front of the TV and my goal is 5 times a week (I've only had it for 3 days.) This morning I still have only a trace of ketones, and I have not lost any more. I have measured myself, and nothing has changed. Maybe my body is rebelling from the lack of carbs, I don't know. Help me out here! I am so glad I found this site though, I read it every day and it helps me stay motivated...I think about you all when I get bummed and know you're all out there doing it too, and it makes me feel better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
