Re: How Long Can You Go???

I appear to be recovered from my cream debacle! Today is the first day I have not craved something bad or Frankenfood-ish! Yippee! Back fully on the wagon -- and knowing me, I'm driving the thing as well!

Thought I would share -- thanks!

Yeah! I'm so happy for you!! Another step closer to your goal and making this plan a part of your life!!

YEAH FOR MANDILEE!!! 5 days and going strong!

Cristy, way to kick those cravings out!!! You've earned your button today!!!

Kat...glad you're being strong despite being hungry! Do you have a desk at your work? Maybe you could bring some extra bags of Atkins friendly snacks to keep in your desk in case you ever forget again. From how goodie laden your work place seems to be, might be a good idea!

Staziaw...glad to hear you're recooping from the cream overload! That stuff is good!

Keep up the great work everyone.

When I posted this morning, I can't believe I forgot to post my exciting news! I WAS DOWN 2 MORE POUNDS!!! YEAH!! So its officially 321 now. I'm longing for that 300 mark to disappear forever.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I'm upset. I went to eat and Hey Mari I'm going through the same thing as you, I hope. Went to lunch with my co-workers for 2 nice lady's b-days, w/o cake btw. I specifically ordered scallops and shrimp without gluten and anything sweet. While I was eating it a sweetness came through, two of the ladies tasted my sauce and said it didn't taste sweet. Afterwards I felt dizzy, I know I need Potassium as I said earlier I have leg cramps. I came back used a ketone stick and bam nothing. The waiter reassured me that nothing sweet was used/starch. Now like you Mari my water taste sweet. Whats going on here? I feel slighted.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I had to take down my button. I cheated today. I have been doing so good, and I blew it. I went to Applebee's with my daughter, fully intending to have a salad when I walked in. I was terrible though. I had a chicken quesadilla grande, plus 2 slices of my daughter's fried pickles. So I am starting over.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

That's okay, FedUp. Dust yourself off and get right back on track right now! It's a little slip, we're all going to have them.

Hang in there!

No love for Dolphin today I see.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I'll talk to myself then,

Dolphin you'll be fine, don't worry I know how it feels to feel like you've messed up unintentionally if at all, the headache and dizziness will subside. I think you're like Mari just tasting everything sweet because you're in ketosis, aaaaand the ketone sticks could be from too much water. You'll be fine, Keep up the good work!!!!! (((((((HUGS)))))))

I thought you were directing this to Mari...the Mayor.

Kinda cool that it was sweet to you and not to the other ladies. Seems unusual, yet Mari experienced it too. I haven't got to that point yet. My Ketostix did turn purple for the first time this morning, though.

I hope you're feeling better!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

kkat55, Just hang in there, a little cheat is really not worth it, you can do it!

I've been eating pork rinds for a couple of day and find I cannot stop eating once I've started so I am going to cut them out.... by the way do you know why we cant have to much of them????

Keep up the good work

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I've spent the last two hours copying recipes from here and making my own little cookbook. I think it will help a lot to have some new things to make and not be bored eating the same things over and over. That's been a challenge for me..... actually cooking. Sometimes it seems pointless for just one person. But I'm worth it!




Hang in there, Dolphin.... you're going to make it.

When you feel down you need that lift even if its from just yourself.
