Hey Buddies!!!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi everyone!

Well I started today and so far so good. I was kept busy in work and had my water with me.
I'm usually good with water intake even before I started. I don't drink tea or coffee normally warm water!
So I'm home now and hopefully I will continue on the right track, the evenings will be harder than during the day but I have a huge pile of ironing to do so that will keep me busy!!
Hope everyone is well!
Wobbly!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi there! I started induction on 9/26 and have been going strong for 10 days...I haven't cheated at all, and honestly even though I'm a complete CARB ADDICT, I haven't had the desire to cheat (MIRACLE).

I started back at the gym this weekend and have been faithfully drinking 120 oz of water a day, plus my vitamins.

I notice that I've been freezing though, which normally I'm always hot...I attribute it to all the cold water I'm drinking??

I will hop back on the scale on Wednesday...and if that sucker hasn't budged, I'm going to chuck it through the window. LOL, just kidding

Hope you all have a GREAT Monday!!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

It's MONDAY already? Hi Buddies

Hey Carole! Glad your mom is better and the TaeBo sounds great ... go get 'em, tiger

S'okay, Jane ... slips happen. No beating up on yourself allowed...had more than a couple myself

Glad the surgery worked ok, Mizski ... we had autumn for two days last week and now we're back into summer mode .... Florida really only has two seasons, Mosquito and Tourist ... right, Norman? You've had more wet weather down in South Florida than we've had this year ... did it ever STOP raining??

Hi Jane! And I wish a great week to ALL Buddies ...

Hello everyone! Norah, wasn't it last year that we were having a drought? I'm going to go and google Lake Okeechobee's current water table.

Hey everyone .... feels like I'm getting the flu; had a regular flu shot a couple of weeks ago so I'm hoping it's not the other flu; well, popping every herb, vitamin and mineral in the house and hoping for the best!

Wash your hands and take your vitamins, Buddies!

Hello Fldoodette:

I hope you get over your flu symptoms quickly. Keep in touch. A quick little prayer was just sent your way.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Norah, I hope no flu for you! I got a flu shot a few weeks ago also. I don't feel well today but I think it is just something not agreeing with me. I might have overdone my exercise this morning.

This morning, I did intervals of walking/running. I have never done that before. I walked for a mile, then would alternate running a bit, then walking for about 2 miles. That was a tough workout for me. I haven't done any running in a LONG time.

Hope everyone has a good day and has plans to do something fun/relaxing this weekend. Hope you feel better Norah.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hello
Im on day 4 of Induction this is all new to me so I would be grateful of any help you can give. Im not sure if I have lost any weight as I have decided not to weigh to often.
I did buy a bottle of ketostix so I do know that I am in ketosis. I feel great after day two when I had profuse diarrhoea but this disappeared after 24 hours.
I am trying to do this to the book, no cheating etc. I hope I can give some help and support to others

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm on day 5! No cheating, feel good! Like you Ognum, I bought my ketostix and know that I'm in ketosis and I haven't weighed myself yet, I'm waiting until Monday but I probably haven't lost a lot because I haven't really been exercising. I have to sit down this weekend and work out a plan.
This weekend will be the 1st weekend on induction, I hope I'll stick with it, I find the weekends harder than during the week but here and the ketostix keep me going.
Yesterday evening my son had a bag of jellies and they looked so colourful and squishy and yum but I just asked him could I have a smell of them!! While I was smelling them, I looked up and I saw my fat picture that I have pinned to the kitchen press door and I thought "Nah, its not worth even licking one"!!
So I'm being good so far and will let you all know how my weekend goes!
Have a great weekend, keep strong!
Wobbly!

Hi, Norman, Jane, ognum, Wobbly and ALL Buddies!

Dodged a bullet .... whatever the virus was, it couldn't withstand the onslaught of nutrients and perished within 24 hours .... smackdown!

Stay healthy, everyone, and have a great weekend!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi Everyone,

FLoodette, I'm glad to hear the virus didn't get the better of you!
One week on, I've lost 4.5lbs so far! This weekend was good, no cheating, although I missed having a glass of wine watching the tv, I just drank more water instead and felt all the better for it.
I really need to kick myself into action re; the exercise though, I know myself I'm not doing enough!
I got up early this morning to go for a walk but instead of getting dressed and going out, I went back to bed! Boo me!
That's the only thing I'm disappointed in myself for, lack of motivation!
Anyway, that's me for the moment, now into week no. 2 of induction!
Hope everyone is well!
Wobbly.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Congrats on the lost pounds, Wobbly!!

Glad you've decided not to obsess about the scales, ognum .... you can be losing inches and not have it show up on the "metal monster," so it's good to limit how often you jump on and off that thing

Hi Jenny, Norman and Jane!

So, here it is, Monday ... again. Stay strong, stay focused and stay in touch, Buddies!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Grats on your loss Wobbly! Keep up the good work.
Welcome to Ognum and Jenn! Always nice to have new members and we are here to help however we can.

Norah, hope you had a nice weekend. And here's to a good week!

Norman, how are things going in FL? It was 30 here this morning and we might see snow tomorrow. Not ready for that. I am trying to do "intervals" of walking/running (it is more walking at this point). Does it matter how long I run (or walk) for? Like walk for 5 min, run for 2? I need to build up on what I can do.

SHAM..come out, come out where ever you are.....

I am into baseball and still bummed about yesterday's games.
Hope EVERYONE has a great day! Many hugs~
Jane

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Thanks for the welcome. I hope when I have some experience I can offer some help, however their seems to be an abundance of support here already.
Week one went well, week two has started well and I am amazed at the lack of hunger and the lack of cravings. Still no weight to report I am staying off the scales until Friday (Day 12)that day I am heading for a weekend in New York and a week in Boston (Im from the UK) so rather that moving onwards my plan is to stay on Induction. Any opinions?

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi there!
Just a quickie, what do you for exercise?
I am thinking of buying Davina Mc Call's work out dvd (all in the U.S. probably never heard of her, she's a legend)! Any suggestions? I used to walk a lot and now I can't seem to motivate myself to get going more. I also have an elliptical trainer that I have moved into the middle of the living room so I cannot avoid it and have started on that, slowly! HELP?!
