    I got my Whoosh!

    Okay, after agonizing over the scale barely moving and even in some times going up I got on the scale today 3 weeks to my start day and almost fell over when it said 150! That is 10lbs since day 1. I weighed in at 157.4 yesterday and was very depressed. Thank you Whoosh Fairy!!!!!

        Keep up the good work!
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          THis may sound like a stupid question but does the "whoosh" only happen to women? I have been very happy with my progress but it is about 4 pounds a week like clock-work. No woosh for me. Is it your monthly "friend" that makes that happen? Just wondering. Merry Christmas!

            LuckyD- Have to love that wonderful fairy! It is so frustrating to wait for her, but she has a way of knowing when you really need it, when you are starting to become doubtful that she will ever come. Congrats on yours, it sure was a huge one! Remember to stay off the scale for awhile now, it would only be depressing to get back on tomorrow and see that you have gone back up. I try to aim for once a week as the very most frequent.

            BigRob- I am fairly certain that the woosh fairy is not sexist! Lots of people experience it, although I don't remember specifically hearing from guys who have had them. You probably don't FEEL like you getting the woosh glory, but it sounds like you are feeling her magic weekly! 4 pounds a week is a lot to lose on a regular basis! I have had a couple big ones, but typically a "woosh" is big if it is 2-5 pounds overnight. Some people loose more consistently- sounds like you do- and others of us don't see any loss for a week or longer then overnight, see a big drop on the scale. I haven't noticed a connection between my monthly cycle and the woosh fairy, she just shows up whenever she wants.

                      I think Whooshie is just kinda a nick name we have here n the board .. for when you lose a large amount all at once ... or after a stall.. I think Moochicat made it up years ago???

                        That is so awesome, I wish I got a whoosh fairy drop in on me. I have stalled for about 3 weeks now I'm stuck and feeling a little frustrated seeing as I've been to 3 Christmas parties and didn't cheat. So this morning I had 2 Mcdonalds pancakes, I enjoyed it but then felt terrible so I did my induction for the rest of the day. What a bad girl, shame on me!!! But I'm not giving up sooner or later somethings gotta go. I'm concidering buying a new scale lol I'm thinking somethings gotta be wrong with mine!!! But congrats on ur lose and keep up the good work.

                          I didn't think for a moment you were . Just sharing my thoughts, and trying to be somewhat humerous about it. I hate it when words come out with a different tone than we intend.

                          Merry Christmas to you too!!
