Re: How Long Can You Go???

Don't worry Sharon about the slow down, when I lost my weight before (what I put in my siggy) Trust me it wasn't consistent weight loss, one week I lost .5 lb. for 2 weeks of clean effort, but woke up after eating some horseradish finally and had a whooshie of 6 lbs. Its like that though, you won't lose nothing, its the fat cells holding on for dear life, and after they get too weak in hanging in there and seeing that you won't give them what they want: a cheat, then they flow out in the urine. Let me find some info to back that up for you in a few, I'll be back.

Wow! SIX POUNDS OVERNIGHT! That is amazing and exciting! I bet you couldn't believe your eyes and had to check it 30 times before you believed it, ay? I like those kinds of surprises!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

It's going very well, thank you! I'm adding extra cheese and cream every day and I lost three pounds this week! That brings my total to 21 pounds since I started this WoE. Wow, huh?

That is so cool that you're adding in carbs and DAIRY and still lost weight! It is amazing how this program works! Woo Hoo!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I lived in Calif for 40 years and now live in Texas, so I have had earthquakes galore and a few tornado scares that were luckily nothing, I think I would take the earth quakes any day. They never scared me, but tornados do a bit, but not too bad.
Our son and his wife and kids live in Kansas too, they love it. We went out to visit them at Easter and it was so pretty and green, it is very nice !! I can see why they love it. He is in the army and is stationed there for at least a little while longer.
Day 15 cheat free for me, and counting !!! Back up again, I have not lost in over a week and have gone back up two pounds. I am working hard on being patient and trying to figure out what i am eating that is causing problems. The only thing I can figure is dairy, but I am not sure. I am being very good.
One day at a time and being patient.

What about posting your menu over in the "Review My Menu" section of the board?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

ROFL I no longer use delicious veggies to describe...well..you know. Where have I been? Well I had a stint with Ben and Jerry they can be very persuasive. I have 3 days off them cuz I always overdo everything and I ate 2 pints in one sitting and then something worse happened which I dont want to say but it was dumb. So I am good for 3 days
Thanks too everyone who loves me and emailed me it means a lot Other than that I just moved too a way better place with A/C and its quiet so thats good if you like sleeping which I do. Finished working crazy hours and inventory and so my life is getting some what back to normal work wise. My right shoulder has issues and it has been getting worse I think its tendinitis and I have stopped working out with weights and only do cardio. So I am losing weight and I know its muscle too cuz I was working out for a solid year and packing it on. I told Ben and Jerry all about it lol. Right on good too see you all, hope everyone is doing well!

Glad you're back!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey everyone!

Another cheat free day under my belt. I actually had to fight to get in all my carbs today...well, close to my carbs. A dozen brussels sprouts later, and I'm at 25, which is at least a little closer to 30 lol.

I'm so glad to see people back and new challengers! Welcome and welcome back!

I'm glad to see that everyone is doing so well! I made it through another day. Had hot wings for dinner in hopes that they summons the whooshie fairy! My scale is not moving and may be going up? My eyes aren't good enough to see the lines on it. I may have to go get a digital one!

I exercised for the second day in a row. Took another walk and pushed my daughter in the stroller this time. (some resistance training ).

Keto-stix are pink and I am obsessed with them turning purple. That is when I get into trouble and start cutting out all the carbs totally which I know is bad.

1pound - I don't feel like I will ever be strong enough to move up even 1 rung at this point. I feel like I need those stix to be purple consistenly for a couple weeks and that hasn't happened yet.

Wishing everyone a Happy Friday Eve!!!!!

Hey, what can I put under my pillow for the Whooshie Fairy

kislandmom, I know you've probably heard this before, but you don't have to rely on those sticks turning purple! The book even says that as long as it's showing some color, you're in ketosis!

I was terrified of going off induction and into owl. I thought that I'd move up my carbs and I'd stop losing, but it didn't happen...I am still losing weight and inches. I know it's not as easy as "just doing it", you need to brace yourself and step off the edge. But once you do, you'll fly. The advice that was given to me to go on to OWL was the best advice I've gotten from this board thus far. I've been told that never moving from induction because you're scared of OWL is one of the biggest reasons this WoE fails for people.

When you're ready, you'll do it.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good morning!

I've been MIA the last couple days. Sorry about that. I had finals and a two papers to complete, which I have as of now! I am happy to say that I continue to be cheat free. I am also continuing on the exercise kick.

We had a bit of a catastrophe last night. I had class last night and my hubby decided to grill a steak for me when I got home. Anyway, the pan under the grill caught on fire (he never cleans it out) and somehow he managed to get it out from under the grill and carry it over close to where the hose was by the house. He bent down to turn on the water faucet and when he came up he cracked his head on the frame that surrounds our kitchen window. I was thinking we should take him to the hospital or prompt care or something. He didn't want to go. I had him hold wet towels on his head to stop the bleeding (heads bleed horribly), and after the bleeding stopped he ended up with ice packs on for as long as he could tolerate it. It'll probably be awhile before he grills out again. He seems to be ok today. He's taking a shower and planning on going in to work. I'm sure he'll take some ibuprophen today.

I need you all to send me your willpower today. I am taking the kids to see Monster House. They will be getting popcorn. Maybe I should sit several rows away from them so as not to be tempted. (I love movie theater popcorn!)

Final note: I have not yet stepped on the scale this week. That has been much more difficult for me than sticking to Induction and exercising combined! I will get on tomorrow as it is weigh in day!

Have a great "low-carb" day!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy cheat free Friday everyone! Im in need of a shopping trip. Veggies are getting low. Summer Squash/Zucchini tops my list as does a portabella mushroom. Sure wish I could get a decent jicima. They seem to be rotten lately every time I get one.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy Cheat Free Friday everyone! Yesterday was the 2 week Cheat Free mark for me, and I'm still going strong. The weight loss seems to have slowed down now, but I'm doing more exercising so hopefully building up some muscle.
