I think i might just forgo the whole stepping on the scale thing this week..i dont think it will be very accurate for the next couple of days..

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping from too much energy? It takes me forever to go to bed now..im like up at 7 something every morning now and i end up not being able to take my nap like i used to and then i dont get to bed till like 1 or 2 am..and i cant get to sleep! Its like im wide awake! like someone gave me several shots of caffiene..but the funny thing is i dont drink caffiene..Im not a coffee drinker at all..im not drinking pop at all...im not eating sugar..at all...so its like..totally the ketosis thing...and im so not used to it..Im used to being so tired and drowsy that i dont have the energy to do anything...and now im like SPROING BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE... Maybe im just not used to being healthier and having so much energy..maybe i wasnt supposed to feel fatigued as i had been before i got on this diet????? I used to nap twice a day for like an hour each time...and now..nothing...

Port, I have NEVER had problems falling asleep and I am experiencing the same thing, it is quite annyoying!!!

Hey everyone..Wow my head has been spinning and I've been very busy..I'm so excited I have some girls doing great on program and losing weight the difference is showing and they are sooo happy. Its really makes me tickled when they come in and lose the weight..

I have changed so much since this time last year..I hit 50 and wanted to change my life and I did....and I am so much younger and happier now..
My birthday is Wed and its cause for great celebration..
My son is so cute..he came over last night and he made up a cake recipe
out of protein powder and chocolate sugar free putting for the icing..
he said one piece was probably about 75 grams of protein....he is just too funny and what a very thoughtful generous gift..First cake he ever baked and actually It was good...Have a great day

This weekend my sister came by. She is also on the diet and started about 1-2 sizes smaller than me and now her clothes don't fit so she gave them to me. Funny thing is that I gave her a pair of shorts that I grew out of a few years back and she gave them back to me. I am have not tried them on yet. Maybe tonight. But I did try on some shorts and they were size 16. They fit great. So I am happy to anounce I am out of size 18 pants. Granted I still have my size 18's.

Also my BF and I were out shopping this weekend and I saw the cutest tankini swim suit. I normally have to buy my suits online as the regular sizes were just a little small and the bigger size suits at most stores are not cute at all. Anyway I am going to Vegas at the end of this month. The suit is a little small right now, but with another 4 weeks of loss I am pretty sure it will fit just right when I am on my trip. Also bonus it was on sale so I only spent 16 dollars!

Have a great week all!

If you're not doing anything Wednesday, maybe you'd like to have lunch with me? We can throw back a few bottles of water, snack on some zucchini chips... What do you say? I'd like to rekindle our friendship.

Best wishes,

I wasn't really noticing a difference in how I looked, though, so I decided to take some progress pictures... and WOW. I LOVE IP.... It is amazing how much I didn't notice changing, especially when I looked at the comparison.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful OP day!!! Sorry I haven't been on the threads much... I will do better this week.

WOW! Congratulations. You look amazing. I wish I was losing as fast as you. I've been on the program 7 weeks and have lost 26 lbs. I don't have any before and after pictures - I'll have to start doing that from here on out. Keep up the great work.
