Hello Peeps!
Well, did my weekly weigh in today and I'm only down 1 lb. I know, I know, a loss is a loss, but I'm so disappointed that I'm not experiencing the 2-3 lb per week losses that I did first time around!
I just don't feel the same way I did last time around either.... that ketosis energy rush, kind of flighty spacy thing didn't happen to me. I miss that sorta hollow, but not starving feeling I had last time too. 's weird, right?
RN4 - You're doing great, and you have tons of support here. So many of us are feeling your struggles. Keep up the great work!

This time the body figures it out more quickly.
Pat & Lisa, Thanks for your wise, calming words. You both reaffirm why I come here - for peace of mind.
