  • Finally, the WOOSH fairy visited!

    Hi all,

    So, on induction, I lost 17 lbs. Then on OWL I lost 7 lbs in the next two weeks (as of October . But it was frustratingly up and down, up and down. I didn't even update my ticker which was something I did regularly.

    So I just kept plugging along, the only change being to watch that cooked broccoli (which I could eat pounds of) and switch to Bob's Big Boy dressing (blue cheese) on my salad, and it was great. The carbs and sugars fit within guidelines and I don't even use 2TB. A little goes a long way.

    Anyway, as I'd been hovering around 312-314 the last two+ weeks, this morning, the scale read...

    wait for it...

    307!!!

    I know that's still a lot but the WOOSH was long-awaited.

    Thanks all for tolerating my venting!

    Good job, Shelley!

    Yes, the scale is not everyone's best friend. Seeing the number go up and down can be discouraging for some, while others are perfectly fine with it. But, as you've seen, the number starts moving down again if you just stick to your WoE.

    How many inches did you lose?
