First day of spring break! My coach wants me to start gentle exercising, so I took my bike to the bike shop for a tune-up ... and discovered they've moved 29 blocks closer to my house! They should be done with it tomorrow. It's windy here today, so I wouldn't be riding anyway. Might start painting the hallway ceiling instead.
Finally made back into onederland. 7 weeks, 14 lbs. I doubt that IP would make me their poster child, but I'll take what I can get.
Have a Good Friday everyone!

Have a great Friday!
way to go! It is such a wonderful feeling to reach Onederland! Enjoy this point in your journey.
I wanted to say a big "thank you" to everyone who responsed to me in yesterday's daily thread. I am on Day 5 today, and I had a total meltdown last night (thinking this is too hard, I can't do this long-term, etc.). Just knowing that SOMEONE understands was such a huge help to me. I am really struggling with this first week, and I so appreciate the wonderful support and just plain ol' fashioned understanding I have gotten here so far.
And now for a question: Will I know that I am in ketosis? I am still hungry and have not noticed an unusual taste in my mouth at all. *Should* I be in ketosis after 5 days? I have stayed 100% OP.
Some people like ketostix. I say they are a waste of money.
Google Ketosis symptoms. You'll see a huge list and you may have a few of them. Our bodies get efficient pretty quickly and will burn the ketones rather than excreting them.
Stick to the plan. If you're day 5 & 100% on plan, you're in ketosis. Ketosis doesn't completely remove hunger. Remember a lot of our "hunger" is just wanting to eat. It comes from snacking whenever we felt like it. Our brains are going to try to trick us into giving in to keep doing what we've been doing.

Erythritol is in many sweetened low carb foods, including IP foods.
So, no loss this week, BUT on the bright side, no gain! My Aunt flo had a vengeful visit after staying away for 2 months, so I'm not surprised....
Tomorrow is my sorority formal, and I get to wear my "little black dress" that I bought, so that is exciting! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Hi guys n gals... I am reading lots of recipes that call for 2 egg whites... if I use 2 egg whites to make a cake out of a pudding for example... Do I have to subtract those from my 8oz of meat per day? if so how many oz's of meat could I have if I use the 2 egg whites? Sorry I am a bit confused over this

Deana I would take the no gaingirl Congrats on getting to wear your new "little black dress" Hope you have a wonderful weekend and you are doing Amazing girl!
Does anyone know what in the world is wrong with my children today? My patients may be on the low side but I think that their screaming and defiance is way on the high side today. My 5 (almost 6) year old has done nothing but scream about everything today. I really just want a time out!
ME TOO! boy did I learn my lesson. One lb gain scared me. much more conscience of what I'm eating and trying to stay OP, but sometimes I'm sooooooo hungry
OOPS!
Meant to put this here...not in a new thread!
Yesterday's Think Thin Thursday thought from Beck Diet Solution:
Just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true. The thought, "That food looks so good I really want to have some" probably is true, while the thought, "That food looks so good I can't resist" probably isn't. The thought, “My friend will be so disappointed if I turn down her cookies,” MAY be true, but just because you think she will be disappointed doesn’t prove she actually will be.
Lisa, I had read your comments about the Beck book and ordered it. I haven't had time to get too far into it, but it is so helpful already! Thanks for sharing about it.

My coach told me egg whites are a free food just like lettuce. the yellow is the protein.

Deanna509,
I have followed your blog, wow you are and inspiration! Enjoy your"little black dress!" WEIGH to go!
My coach wants me to start gentle exercising, so I took my bike to the bike shop for a tune-up ... and discovered they've moved 29 blocks closer to my house! They should be done with it tomorrow. 
It's windy here today, so I wouldn't be riding anyway. Might start painting the hallway ceiling instead.
I have my first weigh in next week and am nervous
