thanks.... that is exactly what I needed to know.... I sometimes have more meat than I should... no sugar at all so I am on track... I think I have just heard soo many times that you should do EXACTLY as told so pheww...
Not sure about the DH. (I'm still relatively new as well)
NSV= Non- Scale Victory (i.e. new size in pants, shirts, etc. or anything else that's a victory because of the weight loss.
Keep up the good work!
YES DH is Dear Husband ( or dumb hubby/damn hubby... if it's that kind of a day! lol)
I am so glad others feel less energetic too, I am dragging and I usually zoom!!
Now my question- did it just show up automatically when you posted??
No, I thought it would show up on my 20th day, but it appeared on the 21st day.
So on the 21s day go up to Quick Links and choose Sig Weight Tracker. Follow the step and then cut and paste the info you get at the end into your User CP, edit Signature part. Sounds confusing, but it will make sense on the 21st day when those links appear.
I work with kids and we all know that they can say the funniest and sweetest things. One of my kids has a hard time saying some of her speech sounds so everything she says turns out uber cute (It's my job to take away her cuteness and replace it with normal speech. The perils of being a speech therapist). Today she told me, "Miss Tristen (Kristen), you're pretty and wittle (little) lite (like) a tup (cup) of toffee (coffee) from Sarbuts (Starbucks)."
This is SO cute! What bit of sunshine in the day... even without the cuteness that's a pretty sweet thing for a little lady to say
And thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and warm welcomes.
The last three days have been a bit dull - it's that TOM and I haven't lost a single pound. I did lose 1.5" off my thighs and 1" from around my waist so I think I must still be burning fat. Oh well. Hopefully the scale will start moving again soon.

That is just so adorable. I would have a hard time with your job, I'd never want to correct them!
Oh, and how about throwing into the formula the money you save on prescription meds, doctor visits and medical care for diseases and health problems related to your weight! I think we may all be saving money in the long run!!
Yeah! Woo-hoo to getting off all the meds!

It's actually 20 days AFTER your start day. So since you started on July 1, add 20 days (1 plus 20) and you get July 21.
Well I'm nothing if I'm not consistent. Just got back from WI#4 and lost 3lbs! That makes 3lbs a week for the past 3 weeks for a total of 15lbs lost! I'm not complaining! I thought for sure I was going to bomb this week. Guess not!

I've never had the boost either. I do know that I am sleeping better and am able to get out of bed a lot easier in the morning.
Stay on plan and you shouldn't fall out of ketosis. To much steak will not throw you out because it has little carbs, but the extra fat and calories will slow your weight loss. Yes, too many carbs will throw you out of ketosis, having sugar is having mega carbs. Stay under 40 carbs/day and you should be fine. If you need a food tracker you can go to fitday.com. It's a good way to track exactly what you're eating so you don't need to stress over it.

Non-scale victory

I would also like to add self esteem, confidence, being happy in your own body..... wait I dont think I can count that high!!!! as the Mastercard commercial goes PRICELESS... I use DH for donut hole no just kidding Darling Husband.... ketosis makes me really silly
haven't had much to say lately since my scale has gone up a pound since starting phase 2. a little disappointed and scared that this will not work for me the way it does for everyone else. i am SO constipated(sorry but i'm blunt) and uncomfortable and get so full of of what i'm supposed to be eating. i don't want to become dependant on mag citrate or laxatives to ease this issue. i almost want to throw in the towel all together or just go back to the comfortable mindlessness of phase 1. it is literally SO much easier with obviously better results. i'm thinking maybe i should have waited till goal to go to phase 2. i don't know. very down in the dumps and i just got true blood season 1, disc 1 in my mailbox today and am going to drown my sorrows in ridiculous cajun vampire shows. any words of wisdom would be great right about now. sorry to be such a debbie downer but tomorrow will be 3 months on this plan and i'm tired.
OH and on top of all that, my husband and i have decided to quit smoking. combined we spend about $400 a month in cancer. he wants a new truck and i want more years on the end of my life so we may just get what we want. i'm TERRIFIED of gaining the ominous 5-10 lbs that comes along with quitting normally.
found some hard candies sweetened with a sugar alcohol called "isomalt" anyone heard of this? nicorette gum and lozenges have sugar or aspartame and the patches give me CRAZY nightmares. i don't know what to do. woe is me.
yes, yes, pity party for erin tonight and her decisions to get unhealthy with eating too much and smoking and now she's sad because she's got to change her ways. kind of made me giggle because it's so ridiculous. i did this to myself.
