I never got the sticks that dark...I may try tomorrow, my mouth tastes like metal - so I know I'm in ketosis.

Day 23 and still no cheats and my weight finally dropped back down to 226 after fighting to drop 4 unexaplanable pounds it gained this week. Yay!

My back is feeling better every day so I think tomorrow I may attempt to work out again.

bella - congrats to you, but I think those 4 unexplainable pounds traveled to Wisconsin

so, how is everyone doing. Yesterday I hit my 2nd mini goal [230] - very excited. Today had bounced back up a bit, but will focus on my water, etc...and try to make it stick this time! I am really looking forward to see 220's on the scale.

Plan to start OWL on Thursday, 10/1 - this challenge really helped me get back on track - now I'm ready to start the rungs - thanks!

Not so well. I could've lost 20 pounds for all I know, but I'm so irregular it's not worth it. I've taken plenty of psyllium. Plus, I had to use a suppository for the first time in my life. Neither has worked. The only thing that HAS worked was when I went on my planned cheat-- I was fine in the BM department after that.

I think maybe I'm one of those people that Atkin's has stopped working for. I used to be able to melt the pounds away by doing no carbs, but maybe since I hit 30 it doesn't agree with me anymore?

Anyway, I think I'm going to go back to CAD...

Hi eveyone. I would love to join the group. I'm new to the board. I need to lose weight so I can walk from the parking lot to a store and shop. Haven't been able to do that in almost 3 years. I have severe arthritis in my hip, knees and spine. Doctor said my condition would improve if I could lose this extra weight that I am carrying. I take Methotrexate for the arthritis which helps some. Praying keeps me sane.

Morning everyone! Very happy today, at 232, which isn't horrible, hopefully will shed it [plus more] by thursday [weigh in], would love to see "220 something" - I will be ecstatic! Very busy day at work, but only work 1/2 day.

Mmmm, its 60 degrees out, the leaves are changing color and I'm down another pound. What a lovely Monday morning. If only I wasn't at work. hehehe

Since I had an accidental cheat that ruined my 25 day Cheat Free record I had a phenomenal weekend. I cooked and cleaned and ate perfectly, drank loads of water and its paying off. (I say accidental because I ate good things but didn't realize they had made it with chickpeas until someone pointed it out)

My only regret from the weekend was that I didn't get a chance to work out. I was so busy with taking care of my sick hunny, cleaning, and then catching up with work that it was 10pm on Sunday before I realized I hadan't done anything. URG!

Unfortunately tonight and tomorrow night are non-workout nights as well. Blah!

Bella - I'm not so sure I would consider it a cheat, to me a cheat is 'on purpose'!

Morning everyone - getting pretty cold in Wisconsin, makes me want to knit a scarf. I may stop and get some yarn after work - fall colors - just that kind of mood! At 232 again today - brought lots of goodies to work, so will eat well! Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Re: Induction marathon: 4 weeks (3rd Sep - 1st Oct)....anyone with me?

Well, I knew I shouldn't have it, even if it may have been ok, so I'm considering it a cheat.

Day 30 on Induction and I'm ticked off. I know my body loves to hold onto weight but I'm getting really tired of losing weight and then suddenly being back up. One day I'm 224 and the next I'm 226, then I'm 223 and then I'm 226 again. I'm being perfect on the diet, drinking loads of water but my 220s are my hard area. Its like my body enjoys being in the 220s and freaks whenever I try to get below it. It has been a battle for over a week now to make any progress.

Trying to cut back on sodium, trying to eat regularly, drink loads of water, and get in some exercise. Patience is a virtue and I need more NOW!

understand completely - that's how I felt about the 230's - I can't wait to see 220-something!!!
