Good morning all! a bit of a downer this morning for me for the last two days I was 169.5 FINALLY out of the 70's after all this time... and this morning? 171 wth????????? NOW trying to think what it could have been and the ONLY thing I can think of is my water intake has dropped in the past two days. I have a question. Does the weight today represent what we did yesterday, or the day before? I know Carla mentioned something about ketone results are 24 hrs after what we ate or didn't eat??? did I understand that right? and is it possible, that the lower water intake could show up as a 1.5 GAIN?

Good Morning Everyone!
Today is a freezing day in Chicago. Right now is -5F . TOM is around the corner and I have been craving sweets since yesterday. On top of that I have tons of bags of candy canes and chocolate at home as I am making treat bags for all my students. Talk about torture!! I have not crave sweets for 4 weeks. If anyone has any ideas on how to handle this, please post it. I'm having a hard time.
Have a wonderful day!

Ana

How about allowing yourself an extra packet of something sweet? What comes to mind is making the chocolate drink mix with hot water - it really makes a lovely warm cocoa drink. It has sustained me through some pretty cold New England mornings. Even if you have an extra packet it's far fewer calories and carbs than giving into those sugary candies, which will take much more toll on your body, your pancreas, and your overall weight loss.

Remember your goal and how sweet it will be to reach that! No piece of candy can match the sweetness of looking and feeling the way you want to. I'm rooting for you!

Congrats Jules26! It is an awesome feeling! And I too enjoy the BBQ ridges, if I know I am going to a show, I take a package of the ridges or SW curls with me to avoid the popcorn..



It's a little warmer today in NW Ontario today.. instead of the -34c winds, it's going to a balmy -15c today I'm looking forward to the Christmas break, I work at our local college and this semester has been busy.

Wishing everyone great WI's and NSV's!

Don't worry, unless you got up and ate 5250 calories in your sleep, it is not fat. (that is how many calories it takes to make 1.5 pounds of fat!)
