Hello All! I just joined.

My name is Melissa

I am getting married this August and have put on the"love pounds" this year
I really need to shave off about 15-20 lbs BAD.
I first did atkins about 8 years ago and did great in it.
I am trying it again and shall see how it goes. Today is my third day of induction. I bought those keto strips and i am a mauve color. What does that mean? does anyone know? I look forward to reading all your posts and will post myself.

Thanks!!

Hi Melissa Congrats on the upcoming nuptuals. Any shade on the ketostix is fine!

Welcome Melissa -- the color on the stick doesn't mean you are further into keotsis it just means you are in keotsis. The darker the color the more you need to hydrate - you should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water at day as well as doing some form of exercise daily also.

Good luck on your journey -- and on your upcoming wedding, how exciting!

Welcome to the board, Melissa! Keep us posted on your progress and remember to be patient because you don't have a lot to lose so it will take awhile but it will happen.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding! You will be beautiful!

I just finished day 4. I find it really annoying that people comment on the fat content of the mayo i use or even the cheese I eat. No one seems to understand that it is the carbs I am cutting not the FAT! my fiance says ..how can you lose weight when you add cheese or dressing to things?.
I figure in a couple of weeks when I am down some poundage I will be laughing!! put until then I need to keep thicker skin..

Had to vent!!!

thanks
