Hi
firegirl - Sorry your weigh in turned out to be a conundrum for you. I'm not sure what ketosis is and how it relates to weight loss, but it certainly sounds like it was a surprise. Sending positive thoughts your way - hope you got it figured out. Don't give up
Hi
alanafx - Welcome to the thread. I'm a newbie to this thread myself, although it doesn't stop me from talking/writing a bunch, lol. 40 pounds - congrats! Weight loss definitely helps improve our mood. Good job!
How's everyone else doing?
I have some scale progress today. Last week was a long, tiring one, but I got through it. 10-11 hr days, come home, grabbed a quick snack (apple & blackberries), then stepped on the elliptical or my other workout stuff. Thursday and Friday I was spent, but I did good on the calories. All in all, here is my progress:
First thing in the morning weight (dehydrated):
179.4 lbs
After breakfast (more realistic weight):
183.6 lbs
I like to do both measurements so that I can see how much water I'm retaining when I'm getting more exercise. I call my after-breakfast weight more realistic because it reflects the amount of work I was able to put in last week. I wasn't hungry at all, all I did was modify my schedule to drop my cals a little and work out a little. So, it makes sense that I'm down 1.5-2 pounds this week.
Proud of myself
Thought I'd share my progress with you ladies
