Hi everyone. I had my doctor's appointment today and all went well. My lab work was better and I don't have to see him again for 6 months. He was so wonderful about my weight loss. He had set my goal at 150 and I am at 147. He said only about 10% of his patients ever lose the weight that he wants them to lose and that I was a "huge success". This made me feel great. Now, my eating wasn't good last night at the wedding shower, but I'm back on program today. I was gone 10 hours today to my appt. with all the driving time, but I am exhausted. BTW, I have new pic's to try and post and am waiting to get a scanner.Also, I got a pair of my size 20 jeans back from my Aunt and will also try to post in the big clothes section. They look I could fit in one leg now, but haven't tried yet. Good luck to everyone.

Hi All,

Had a little slip last night. Went to bed - hadn't eaten proper dinner, and woke up in the middle of the night craving carbs like mad. Half-asleep, I went into the kitchen and had a couple "natural" ginger snaps and some peanut butter. I live with my sister and she has some snack-y foods in the pantry. It was 30 grams of carbs altogether.

So anyways, I think it's kicked me out of ketosis. Do I have to start induction over again? I feel like I'll NEVER get through Induction!

love,
glam

Thanks needtolose, I feel so good. I am determined now to relax and get the other 2 lbs. off. I plan to be exercising a lot this week and drinking my water. I am always stressed when I have a doctor's appt. His scales always weigh me more than mine, but this time they were the same. I tried on my old size 20 jeans last night and I can stand in one leg of them. My DH just couldn't believe that I was that big before. He said he never saw me as being that big. I was a little shocked myself. I thought about hanging them in front of my treadmill to remind myself every time I walk that this is why I walk. I never want to have to wear those again.

Thanks everyone, I need to get a scanner to post the pic's. The body shots really do show the weight loss. However, my head is tilted too far back in every dang picture. I think this must have been a habit from before of trying to cover up the good old double chin. LOL. One pic is from the back showing my tiny little 90 yr. old man butt. I won't post it. LOL. I am so glad that DR. visit is over with. I don't have to see him again for 6 months. Yeah! Just wanted to add that my DH was wondering why he has lost from 187 to 172. This is the trickle down effect, he eats what I cook. LOL. He doesn't realize he's been on a "diet" too.
