Day 7, Progress so far...

[ipdinurpul]

I have gone from 230 to 218! (actually 217.6, but I rounded up)
I purchased the Ketone test strips and the test indicated 80 mg/dL, which, according to the instructions, is "high". I'm assuming that's a good thing...
No problems with feeling ill or urges to binge. I haven't varied from my meal "routine" with the exception of going from two or three coke zero's to one or two (I'm trying...really).
The one concern is that I'm not seeing a change in my body shape (love handles look the same size...etc.) What is a realistic expectation of when the physical size difference will be noticeable?

TIA.

Wow!!
12lbs in 7 days that is fantastic
I am on day 7 but have not yet weighed. I want to wait until day 14. I too am using ketostix and they are turning between pink and purple so I know its working. I posted yesterday that my energy level has shot through the roof and it is staying there. 2 days of great energy is great. I have not noticed much if any difference in my bodies appearance but I have noticed my pants and shirts fitting a little better. I hope I see a difference but I am not obsessing about it yet.

Re: Day 7, Progress so far...

I've admittedly become a little obsessed with stepping on the scale. It's just amazing to see the weight come off so fast. My previous eating habits were so bad that I'm not surprised it's coming off so fast. I do think I'm gonna hit a plateau here soon...

GL btw!
