Purple, purple, purple

[kellymch2006]

I know that some people say that the stix are a waste of time and some see them as a motivator.

I have some and I don't use them all the time. Just very infrequently. I hadn't done it this time around.

So, I peed on the ole stick this morning and got a good purple (small). I'm so happy.

Were I to be tempted today, I'd say "no way." I'm in the purple!!!

Motivating! Burn that fat!!!!!!

I use them too to see a visual of "its working Im losing" keeps me a bit honest when I feel like "cheating"

Yeah, well, I wish I would've printed this post and stuck it to my forehead while I was eating all that cream cheese today.

Can too much cheese kick you out of ketosis?

Re: Purple, purple, purple

Well, I'm purple again today. Thank God.

I think so cause I ate to much yesterday to and this morning Im faint purple and yesterday morning I was dark so Im guessing the cream cheese over load did it as all my other foods where legal.

I've tried it in the morning, in the evening and in the middle of the night...It's really dark purple... Motivating!

Especially with the amount of water and exercising I'm doing. I wasn't expecting to be this purple!

Re: Purple, purple, purple

I am really more pink.. just trace, but this is day 3 of STA so I am doing well. I was not looking forward to the first few days, when you are eating fried eggs and not thinking you are at all because you are not in ketosis. Funny thing is, I did lose two pounds in those 3 days... I am betting its water weight as I am drinking lots of water so I am likely doing a good flush.

But I am in the pink. It is all good. I have been a way from ADBB for something like 3 years and couldn't even remember my old username! But I am back with a bang and lots of motivation.. I want to be able to cross my legs again!

Happy ketosis everyone!

Good luck to you! I came back and couldn' t remember my log on, either. Don't you just love fried eggs. I love to cover them with Texas Pete.

Re: Purple, purple, purple

Texas Pete is great. I bought some yesterday along with some wings. Can we say buffalo wings tonight? and perfectly legal too!

I have not figured out why but I stall when I eat chicken wings. I make my own with pure texas pete, (the only one I will use).. maybe I should add some butter next time to increase the fat or something. Just one of those odd things.. oh man my mouth is watering now.. i used to eat french fries and texas pete instead of ketchup...

Re: Purple, purple, purple

I take a bottle of texas pete to one stick of real butter to make the sauce for my wings.

Lots of sodium. Maybe that's the culprit???

We should make some kind of
purple lapel pin to remind
ourselves that we are in the
Purple.

I love that idea! No idea how to do that though..

Re: Purple, purple, purple

I know what you mean. I am in a stall for the last month or two so the styx are the only evidence I have all is still well. As I get older, the fight gets harder. I just keep going because there is no alternative except getter fatter.
