How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I know what you mean. When I was single I rarely ever cooked.

In February I bought a cute binder and printed out a lot of recipes and put them in it. It is now by my microwave and I can look through it whenever I need to plan a meal.

Great minds!

Definitely!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I am trying to kick the diet coke but get TERRIBLE headaches. I have cut back to about 3/4 of a 20oz bottle over the course of a day but any less and I can't see straight. Any suggestions?

I went through that, more than once. And this time I'm going to try really hard not to get back in to the caffeine. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions that are going to help with the headache, it's probably something we're going to have to deal with kicking that habit. I got them too but this last time it wasn't quite as bad.

Drink a lot of water, Excedrin helped my headache, and honestly it only lasted a couple days. Keep cutting back on it like you have been doing and you'll make it. It's worth it!

Glad to have you with us!

I didn't have dinner because I wasn't hungry so I had the Mock Danish instead. Is that considered a cheat?

First of all, welcome kislandmom! Glad to have you with us!

Mock Danish is not a cheat. It's got all induction friendly ingredients, as long as you stick to the recipe. I had one just yesterday for breakfast!

I like those words, "how quickly its passed." Just think next week at this time how we will feel. Just think next MONTH at this time how we'll feel!!

Yee Haw!

It will be here before you know it!!

Stay away from chocolate... it is not your friend! And if you have to... go sugar free! Just dont make it a habit!!! That gets bad!

OH AND.... I LOVE LINDA'S RECIPES!!!! Those are so gooood! Her site is the one I use each week to pick food from! Though I was not nuts about her beef crusted pizza! Thats it so far though!

You guys inspire me. I'm so proud to be a part of such a great group of people. Keep up the good work and enjoy your new cheat free lifestyle!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OK...I am SOOOOOOO sorry I haven't been here to keep up on all the excitement. First of DOLPHIN... I sent you a private message. Hope you're feeling better now, and that the PM helps. Stay the course...I'm sure you are not out of keto!

FedUp...I'm proud of you for coming and admitting your trouble today. But I'm even more proud of your additude about it! Way to get back up and keep going! GREAT EXAMPLE!!! Those Buttons will keep moving up from now on for ya!

Cristy...LOOK at you!!! It looks like you found a new hobby alright! WAY TO GO on finding recipies to keep away the boredom and blues. PROUD OF YOU TOO!!!

Staziaw...Thanks for all the great ideas of places to look for recipies. It sure helps to have new things to cook, so it doesn't get old.

Tia...10 pounds in 10 days!!! You're on a roll, babe! Keep up doing what you're doing, cause you're doing it right!!

BIG WELCOMES TO OUR NEWEST MEMBERS!!!!! Kislandmom and Bernieann!!!
Kislandmom, about the headaches...all I can suggest is weaning yourself slowly? Each day take an ounce less. Or, you can cut cold turkey, drink EXTRA EXTRA water, and take tylenol or something all day. The headache will be gone in one to two days, and your system will be cleaner. Caffine headaches suck, but your natural energy will pick up when it doesn't have the drug to supply it.

Kat, Christine, Cristy, Dolphin....THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO EXTRA SUPPORTIVE OF EVERYONE!!! I actually feel guilty for not being here tonight! The neat thing about this challenge is for as much energy you put into helping the others, you reap 10 fold feeling strong yourself. I'm very grateful to you!

Tirtle!!! YOU GOT A PRETTY NEW BLINKIE, and I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!

Lady_Hawke...LOOK AT YOU GO!!! Day 5, and clean as a whistle!

Ok, to everyone else! WAY TO GO ON ANOTHER DAY CHEAT FREE!!! And I'll be saying goodnight now! OH, and I was good today too! A little angel!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

oooh Marion! Don't you dare feel guilty. We're all here together and there's always going to be something that takes one of us away for a few hours, or even days! You're so supportive and you've been sure to welcome every single person personally! You're awesome!

I'm proud of you sweetie. You're doing so well!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Today I overdid it on cheese (8 oz!), overdid it on sugar-free jello (3 servings), overdid it on faux mashed potatoes (ate the whole batch LOL)... I know it's emotional yuck as TOM visited today. I stayed under 25g carbs as was my goal, but my goodness I ate over 3000 calories in one day!!! And didn't exercise as I was all pissy and moody and had a low fever and body aches and wahhh... sheesh.

Joy cometh in the morning, right?

I just got in and I'm sorry about your overdoing it BUT be worried no more, at least you overdid it on the right things. I cannot stand TOM I'm gonna beat him till he's blue

Congrats you stayed under 25 grams of carbs, and if you ate 3000 calories, so be it, it was all the right thing.

Some days you don't feel like exercising, nobody was perfect but Jesus, so again no worries. Sometimes we worry about something we have no control over, in this case your hormones and hey we all go through that. I just want you to know that we care and reaching out to you at a sort of confusing time like this.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi, All!
I'm trying to catch up and read all the posts. I love reading how encouraging and honest everyone is. Well, I made it to the end of yesterday without stumbling. I made some parmesan cheese crisps last night, which was a bummer (though legal) because I try not to eat after dinner. I'm starting to get lazy on cooking vegetables. I've got to work on that, or I'll have to strip myself of these buttons!
Have a great day (the kind that will let you change your button when it's over!).
