bjs - If I had one child, I would go with the operation! Especially with the amount of times I am in and out of the hospital with this.

There is no question about if you have lost weight! You have lost 2 pant sizes. Even if the total amount didn't show up on the scale, you're body is making major changes in terms of muscle weight. You are gaining muscle and losing a lot of fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. That is excellent!

Yip, can't argue that..

Patience will bring you a child, some day when you are ready. They told me at 14 I would not be able to bare children, severe ovarian cyst and infections. Well, It took me all of about two unprotected tries to get there, both times. So, there is always hope. The hardest part of parenting is finding the right person to reproduce with. I was lucky, I found mine at 15, been 15 years together and 10 of marriage, so hard to believe.
Well, some more good news, I am definately going back into ketosis. I have a horrible headache and my mouth tastes aweful. I can jsut tell I have that horrendous breath. So hopefully it is not going to take me long to get back on track.

I thought it would take me the bigger part of the week to get into ketosis. But my cheats were mild, not liek I had it all, but a cheat is a cheat. I am jsut glad I can gt into ketosis so quickly. because the craving and hunger were getting me.

I have a horrendously busy day tomorrow, then out of town for Thur and Fri. So hoping ot be able to post some time in between..

Drink your water girls... And lets all work towards big numbers these last two weeks ...

Congrats Valid! On both the weight and inches!

I'm starting to feel down about my weight. Damn scale. I just can't stop the compulsion to weigh every day - it's impossible. I worked out so hard yesterday, over an hour of pure cardio/aerobics and lots of crunches and weightlifting... I drank my water... and this morning I weigh in at 163.5. I know I should be happy, because any loss is a loss, but I feel like it should be more and wish it'd just go faster. And if I could resolve to weigh once a week I would, but it just seems impossible.

EDIT: Okay folks. I have done away with the scale for the time being. Got up on a chair and put it up on the highest shelf in my closet. I'm not gonna weigh again until this weekend. Pray that I won't go mad.

WhoHoo Joy - Wow 210.6
You are the incredibly shrinking woman !!!

Kitty - I have that compulsion to weigh everyday and it really is tough for women because our bodies vary in water weight so much on a daily basis. I've been trying to back away from the scale as much as possible so I don't go crazy. I think putting it away until the weekend is a a great idea. Let the fact that you're staying on program and working out be your daily progress indicators. You can even check ketosticks as a tool, but, the scale just varies too much on a daily basis depending on water weight.

Hi Silly - hope you're having a great day!

Cher, could you REALLY put the scale away? I don't think I could, but at least it was nice to me today.....will post the one pound change if it's still gone tomorrow. I JUST got home and it's 3:00 so I've been really, really, really bad about my water. I hesitate to power it now because then I'll be up 7 times instead of 5 at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I couldn't give up my scale. I'm addicted.

Silly, weird how I ate so good that one week and GAINED and this week I cheated and LOST. Go figure. It does give me some hope.

Oh, btw, I found some guavas at the store today. They look kinda ragged, but I bought 3 for $4.50!! ACK! I've been wanting them so bad though.

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

3 for $4.50...that's OUTRAGEOUS! Enjoy every last drop! And I would suggest you lean your head back when you cut them so it's over your mouth and you don't lose even that one drop!

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

Joy - see that happens sometimes! Isn't that strange. I think a small break will jolt the body and start the weight loss again. Especially if we're trying to stay at induction levels too long. Then eating a pice of fruit will even jolt the body into a weight loss. I know that you've really been working at OWL for a while. But, the way that you exercise is keeping your body as a fat burning machine. So, your payoff is being able to eat higher carb foods at times and still lose. Nice payoff!
