Still no loss here, staying strong though it has to give sometime. So far today my menu looks like

2 hardboiled eggs and cup of hot tea w/ s&l and heavy cream
dish of broccoli and cheese with cup of hot tea
gonna have baked chicken for dinner with a side veg

EFX as exercise
Working on the water issue

Hi Atkid! I'm looking at your menu and am wondering . . . as you eating enough? Particularly some protein at lunch (other than the cheese)? Just curious! I want to see you succeed!

Oh, by the way, you have done such a great deal this year. Just about 30 pounds down. . . that's spectacular!

Stacy, thanks for the feedback! I have been trying different ways to get the scale to move, higher carbs, lower carbs. You are right I probably should have added some sort of meat to that lunch but didn't feel particularly hungry at the time, guess I should try to force myself to get the protein in. For dinner I did have my chicken thighs and a serving of broccoli and a dish of aspargus.

Thanks for noticing the "almost 30" lbs. I am so trying to get there. When I hit the 15 lb. loss I became a supporting member and decided for every 15 lbs. I would donate again. Ya think my wallet is controlling the scale, LOL!

Hey guys! I am doing badly with my exercise this week. I have only worked out 1 day for about 30 minutes. It is my TOM, and I just want to curl up and sleep around 9 o'clock. I usually workout at 10pm; I know it is better to workout in the mornings, but the only time I can ever find to fit it in is at 10pm. Anyway, I am feeling kind of down, but hopefully, my weigh in next Sunday will lift my spirits.
Here is what I had yesterday:
Breakfast- Mock Danish
Lunch- Leftover Chicken and asparagus
Dinner- 6 hot wings and a small salad with blue cheese dressing
Snack- Pumpkin seeds (12 total)

Water: 80 ounces
Drinks- 2 12oz cans of Diet Rite

Should I be drinking more water? I feel like I am drinking a lot, but someone sad that I should be drinking 1 oz per lb of weight.

Also, does anyone know why I might be feeling so exhausted this week compared to the last two? I hope it means I am losing weight!

Good Day to be outside in Maryland today... but nooooo, gotta sit & fidget by the PC for 5 1/2 more hours. Have got a good head of steam going, too; been building up the last couple of days white-tornadoing the house. Worked until 2am last night on & off, and am ready to keep it going until it's looking great again.

I finally gave up hoping for a hand from Martha Stewart, Mary Poppins and Supernanny, LOL. Last night I reclaimed major space! woohoo - while intermittently nibbling swordfish steak with sauteed ginger, onion, jalapeno, garlic & green tomato.

Had the other half for breakfast. Appetite is huge today -have had 4 beef batties & 1C fried pumpkin since then. Will go light on dinner, perhaps something with shirataki noodles.

Good morning, kits and kittens!

Atkid - I think you're doing great! I think your idea of contributing at every 15 pound loss is brilliant! So brilliant . . . I'm going to borrow it. On the protein front -- a little bit of protein goes a long way. A little shredded chicken or tuna with lunch. Just a little something!

Ashley - I totally understand how you feel! Don't berate yourself. If it's that TOM, it's completely normal to feel like sleeping! And you probably will experience a bit of a whooshie after your period is over. Keep the faith, girlie! You're doing great!

Boonie-Sista - well, as always, I read your posts and want to come over for dinner! You are my rock-n-roll queen! And I just know that your house is going to look fantastic. I love your new siggy pic!

Me? Well, I'm okay. I feel a little off - like I'm fighting off something - but I will be just fine. Food has been good, except I had too much soda yesterday. Exercise has generally been dreadful, but I'm on a mission to use ever spare moment to knit Christmas presents!

Hope all is well!

Hi Thank you!

Yay am very excited A bit of background - I am 24, 5'7 and live the the UK.

I had a bit of a weird setback yesterday - it turns out that an error in the UK edition of the book meant I was never really doing induction right - I was eating about 40-80 grams of carbs a day the whole time! I only found out after I saw an inconsistency in the book and posted my menu on the forum to double check.

I think I'll start induction properly today using cups not weighing. Wish me luck, I'm struggling with the idea of measuring food like broccoli in a cup?!

Other than that my plan for today:
B: Scrambled egg w. butter and cream (3eggs) and 2 rashers bacon
L: 2 cups of salad with 3 grams cheese, mayo and half an avacado
D: Salmon with half cup spinach and half cup green beans (runner)
S. 1 gram cheese, decaf coffee with cream

Exercise: Badminton for an hour and 110 sit-ups (am on November Ab Challenge).

Have a great day everyone!

Re: Who want's to lose 10-15lbs by christmas??

Badminton!?!! Cool!!! I love that game!

Baarb - a good way to eyeball your measurements is to think of one palmful equaling one-half cup. If you cup both of your palms together (like you gathering water to splash on your face), that's pretty much one cup. Sounds like you on track, though! Good for you!

All is . . . well . . . okay with me. A little mental struggle yesterday and today. The better part of me will win out. I need to look at my laziness - lazy thinking - NOW!

Hope everyone is well this morning.
