    I just did the salvia splitted on the keto-sticks. I peed on one first, turned dark pink. Then split on a different one (of course) and it didn't register, it stayed peach. Anyone else get the Keto-sticks to turn with salvia?

      LOL, spit... next yall will start testing sweat!

      I do test my stix a few times during the week. I had a major slip of getting out of ketosis for a month and do not want that to happen again. I have found that in the mornings I am negative. In the evenings I am in the lightest to in between the next to lightest. I did note that I'm not getting all my foods in daily and wondering if that is making the difference. I have yet to get them to turn very dark in color. I sure hope this does not mean I am resistent! No.. I lost a good chunk with induction and the book said I was normal.

      Will have to test a stick on a day I get all my foods in. I must be in a good enough ketosis because I have no desire to eat.. ugh!

            LOL Jimmie at your DH. At the lack of scalenumberaphobia...and the lack of powers of observation!

            I told my DS to hide the scale. He did, and then came and told me he put it under the green chair. He's so cute. But my DH thinks I'm ridiculous, so it's back in the bathroom...but I haven't caved. My clothes are a better indicator anyway, and they are fine. I'm a bit nervous though, as I'm still menu-tweaking to STOP losing, and to figure out which specific foods are causing this bloaty feeling.

            I digress. Great job everyone!!!

                    It's haaa--aard! For the last few days the scale was barricaded by laundry baskets. But now the laundry's all done and the clothes are all put away and there's a wide open space around the scale. sigh It was calling me this morning. But I ignored it and went to work.

                      Ugh! I was taking my scales to my mom (one set anyway) yesterday and holding it in my hands I wanted so badly to set them down and just step on...get that little extra boost from seeing a few lbs gone. But..I fought it. I just kept telling myself, hey! Im stronger than that. And I will feel sooo much better after 2 weeks.

                      I have to say though. I am a little afraid of weighing after 2 weeks and being horribly disappointed if I havent lost a bit. I guess what is keeping me excited about this challenge is the thought of total exhiliration when I do step on after 2 weeks and seeing like 5 lbs gone. Yet, I know thats not really what this challenge is about. Its about breaking that addiction to the scales and not relying on a number to feel successful. Its just one of those things that no matter how many times I say it tomyself, its not sinking in. Not yet anyway. I do see sucess though in my clothes, the way I feel, there is proof everywhere. I just need to break my obsession with the number.

                          So far, still good. No burning desire yet. Yesterday a co-worker asked if I'd been working out that my belly looked flatter. Woo Hoo...that's motivation to stay off the scales and excited about weighing in the end!!

                            I used to weigh every 3-4 days, then forget about it till the next weigh in. Now, I find myself thinking about those darn scales 2-3 times a day. I used the number on it to determine if I needed to re-adjust my meals for a few days. Its hard, but it is a real test to myself and I think it will work better cause now I'm totally aware and determined not to gain anything during this challenge.

                              Just checking in to say I've stayed off the scales. It's not as hard as I thought it would be.

                              Although today I was playing with our new puppy and thought I should weigh him and see what he's up to now. I forgot that I weigh myself first then with him. He's got a vet app't tommorrow so I guess I just see then what he weighs.

                              Nice seeing everyone is doing so well on this challenge.
