Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

bjs- I hope you're feeling a little better this evening. They scheduled your surgery the day after the 4th, so at least you can celebrate the 4th of July with everyone. Hopefully you'll have a speedy recovery right after the surgery. Make sure you double check with the doctor about being in ketosis during surgery. You may need to go into a maintenance phase a few days to a week before surgery and a week after surgery. So, as you get closer to that date, just make sure you've double checked this aspect so that everything is safe during the surgery.

Regarding measurements: I will be doing my measurements at the end of 4 weeks. I usually only take them once a month - they scare me more than the scale does...lol! Althugh... I really do feel smaller... I just want to see big changes

Silly... drinking more water - thanks for leaving that message

Well for all the weight loss drop I had early in the week...I've steadily been gaining about a pound every day. I know it's water weight, especially with the hard core lifting I've been doing. Oh well, hopefully I'll have a nice loss on the inches this week.

I'm still eating on plan! YAY

You're doing great! What's a little button...

Good Morning Silly and bjs. Hope you're having a nice Saturday.
How's everyone doing with their water?

Hi Joy

You're building muscle and it's that TOM! This isn't a real weight gain...it's just water weight (as you know). Keep doing what your doing. You are an inspiration to me!

Well, I started the challenge at 248.2 and now I'm at 245.8 so I'm down 2.4 lb so far. I know some of y'all are demolishing me but I'm still hoping to get a whooshie in and hit the challenge goal

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Hey Freckles! Where ya been? We're not demolishing you here, it's fairly slow for most of us! Me, lost then gained 2 today! Yikes! I did have 2 glasses of wine last night, ate a total atkins friendly meal (unless there was sugar in the creamed spinach I had) with 37 total carbs for the day. Kinda like the snail.....2 steps forward, one backward. Also, TOM came after 163 days! May account for some of my gain.

Water, Water, Water.....all day every day!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Boy Silly, did I ever get one of those 2 steps back today. I stepped on the scale and it read 179!!!! It was like a scene from the movie "Psycho"... Well at least the music going through my head. I've been soooooooooo good! I even had a dinner at an Irish Pub, Muldoon's, yesterday with friends. I just ordered 3 "diet Coke's" lol and a corned beef sandwich and skipped the rye bread while everyone else had these huge meals.

OK, so the diet coke wasn't such a great choice. But, I think what really killed me was I've taken a muscle relaxer for my back (it's been in pain a lot) the last three days and it must have just stopped my metabolism. That will stop today! I decided to wait until tomorrow to weigh again. If the scale doesn't change by tomorrow, I will change my Ticker

What's strange is I don't feel any heavier, just slightly drugged & sluggish, which I don't like! I still feel smaller! I measured my waist and it's 32 1/2", which is an inch smaller than when we started the challenge. Hips are 39 1/2" instead of 40". Not big changes, but its only been a couple of weeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Freckles - It's nice to see ya back over here.
Congratulations on the 2.4 pound weight loss.
Way to go!

Hi Cher!
Psycho is right! We try so hard, are so good and losing is still hit and miss. We can't get discouraged because in another day, we very may well drop! We WILL see this thru! At least you can see that you have inches gone! I haven't re measured yet.

I've had a bad back too for about 3 days. I really should take some advil or something since I'm repainting our coffee table and am bending all over the place! It's so gorgeous outside today, I'm enjoying working out there!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Silly - At least the Psycho music has calmed down...lol. We are getting ready to take a drive down the coast for a bit. It HAS been an absolutely beautiful day! I hope repainting the coffee table is going well - that sounds like a fun project. I love doing things like that!

Take care not to injure your back too bad! It's back to Advil for me too!
