Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

I think the next challenge should be "The hardest butt challenge". I'd like to see the before and after pictures after a month. ( I think!) I would even donate a small prize to the winner.

Alright, so today is day 2 of the challenge. I'm amazed! I was biting nails thinking what I was going to do before the challenge started, but it's not as bad as I had anticipated. My scales stare me in the face in the bathroom, so I guess I will go ahead and put them away in case I get the jitters later on. Oh yeah, I can do this!

I'm with MotherCooter. My morning weigh in determines how I feel about myself for the rest of the day.

I just came back from camping this morning so wasn't around my scale for two days which was somewhat liberating. Tomorrow will be hard when I wake up in my own bed and get the urge to stand on my scale and find out what my mood will be. Ugh! Maybe the no scale challenge will be a personality makeover.

folk who let the metal monster do that have what i call scalenumberaphobia. I hope y'all can overcome that since on Atkins we morph our bodies and increase the lean mass while shedding the fat mass and the scale only knows what the change in total mass was.

a no stix challenge I could do that in a heart beat stix free for over 3 yrs and darn proud of it LOL

Yeah I have never used the sticks. I thought about getting a few though but not sure where or how much they are.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

mother, i bought my last batch at a drug store here in town. check the prices! the one drug store wanted about $12, if i remember right, for 20 stixs. i went on down the road and got a bottle of 50 for less than $8.

most times i have had to ask the pharmasist to get them for me, they are kept back with the perscription medicines.

I have the digital scale, you know, the one that comes on if you bairly touch it or if you just walk to hard near it. Well this morning I bumped it brushing my teeth and it started to light up and went to 0, flashing. it was like calling me to get on. I could here it say come on it's been 2 days, you may have lost 2 pounds. But glad to say I resisted and took out the battery. Starting to be tempting. This challenge maybe harder than I thought!

Hello everyone! I am also a keto stick junkie ,and my moods are also controlled by my scale. But I am happy to say that I feel good about being in this challenge! I feel more control. Prior to this chanllenge I usually battled with myself in the mornings, about getting on the scale or not, and although I have been winning alot of the battles I was getting weak. Now I'm stong like bull Pru

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

looks like everybody is doing well so far today. I skipped the before and after workout weighing today and if I cramp up cause I didn't rehydrate enough i'm going to have to figure something different to do for the gym workouts cause i can drop 2-4 pounds of sweat easily doing my BFL lifting, situps, and cardio.


Wow Jimmie I'm surprized as a goalie you still register on the stix let alone still use them. unless I peed on one right when I got up I was out of stix concentration at about 65 net carbs. I was just thinking last night about my last stix purchase. I didn't wanrt them to know if I was in ketosis, but I was curious cause we excrete ketones in our saliva and I wanted to see how much I was produing in my spit cause afteral any ketone body not used for fuel has to be replaced by another ketone body from some fat being broken down and that will mean less fat mass Have any iof y'all spit on one to see if you can change the color?

Are we going to have to make a challenge "no ketosticks?"

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

My not stepping on the scales is going well. But I have always been like that, if I set my mind to something hard enough I will do it.

Not saying its not tempted, I just know I am not allowed to.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

2big, no I can't say I've ever done that. Never thought about it.

Now I am going to have to go home and try that!

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

[[[[running off to see if spit changes the stix]]]] i'll let you know on that one.

2big, it was to get those extra pounds off and stop the weight gain. i backed off those items that have been disscussed in the goalie thread. that alone was enough to put me in ketosis. i figured i was cutting back about 20 carbs a day and that was including fiber. net grams maybe were in the range od 12.

i wasn't dropping back to induction, i want newbies to know that.

when i was doing fitday my carbs were upwards to 80 or 100 a day with net carbs being in the range of 40 to 60. i wasn't registering anything on a stix then and was maintaining.

then i gained those few pounds. i have good ideas on what caused the weight to shoot up to 127 and i just wanted to stop that before any more weight piled on. dropping the items put me in ketosis.

the plan was to add a few things back as the weight started started to come off.

can i just say that getting in ketosis was so easy. i have to think that is because i have not been abusive with getting on , then off, then on again with this woe. there's a lesson in there somewhere.

jack said he didn't weigh yesterday. i asked "do you even know where the scale is" and he said "it was here in the downstairs bath last time i knew" to which i replied "it hasn't been down here in 3 weeks". i think jack will survive not stepping on the scale.

sorry that kind of went all over the place.
