NSV this week
I better notice my NSVs (Non Scale Victories) this week, because I think the scale victory will be minimal.
My body seems to have been burning the fat on my neck and upper upper torso. There's much less insulation on my upper ribs and collarbone, and Ladies and Gentleman, we're seeing the emergence of the jawbone! |

svelting, I ADORE your new avatar! :lol:
My latest dilemma - I put my hubby on IP two weeks ago (plus two days). I figured it would be nice if we went through the stages together. He has already lost almost 14 lbs!!! :faint: He is totally going to leapfrog me and I am going to have to put him on phase 2 and 3 WAAAY ahead of going on it myself. I am the one going to the IP clinic, so I'm going to have to figure out the new phases all on my own, sans help from my coach. I've got all the protocol sheets and explanations, so I'll manage, but boy, I never expected this. :p |

LINDEN, thanks for your kind words in yesterday's thread. |
So excited today!! Down 16 lbs in less than 3 weeks!! Feeling so much better the past two days too! Starting eating my meat at my lunch meal and I think that is the key for me - at least for now. Before I felt like I was spending the entire day counting down the minutes until dinner.
Question for you long-timers, did any of you ever move to Phase 2 and eat 2 meat meals per day vs. protein packs? I think I feel much better with actual food but I also like these results. Or, if you did not move to Phase 2 early, did you occasionally eat an extra meat meal if you were out, away from home, on vacation, etc? I'm thinking ahead for my reunion weekend so I can eat two meals per day and just have 2 packs (1 for b'fast and 1 for snack). Thanks and have a great Friday! |

So yesterday DH and I spent the day with family and friends, several who hadn't seen us in a while. We got the "You look great! How much of have lost?" followed by the "You don't need to lose anymore", "Stop dieting", :blah: So very annoying. At first I commented that they don't see the belly pooch that we have locked inside the shorts. Then we both just gave up and didn't respond. Silence is golden. Have a wonderful day! |
So the bra saga continues. Remember when I was posting about not losing inches really quickly? It seems like I lost 4 inches from my freaking ribcage. Who loses only in their ribcage? SHEESH. SO I went down 2 band sizes, and was wearing the wrong cup size, that is bigger too. 32 bands in bigger sizes are hard to find so the poor lady at VS was trying every trick in the book. They don't carry my size really. I had gone to Nordies first and was not impressed with my lady and didn't believe her. I had my choice of one that wasn't cute, and wasn't black, she would have to order it. Not happening. So I cruised the mall, and did not find ONE that fit besides that one at Nordies.
Off to the specialty store today. It's gotta be cute AND black. Then I will order a bunch of stuff online once I get a handle of styles in that size. |

Feeling a little better this morning - this cold just might be on its way out. I was a little concerned that my body's not strong enough to fight it off well, but maybe I'm just being too dramatic.:^:
I found a really pretty shirt on the clearance rack - a lovely dark purple with embroidery across the top. I bought the 1X size. What a mixed surprise when this morning, it feels too big?? I may have to deep seam the sides and the shoulders so that I can wear it comfortably. I have to keep pulling it up! My size 20 JMS capris are starting to get good and loose around the waist, finally. AND my scales this morning said 205!!! I was 209 just Wednesday morning!! :goodscale Maybe no one remembers, but I was so excited yesterday when I said that I was wearing a size 16 pants - I was SOO wrong - I looked at the tag a bit closer - they were 18. But that's ok, I still know they've been out of my reach for years, and now I can wear them again. I am so ready to break out of the 200s and into ONE-derland!! :dancer: So may I testify to the fact that getting your "breakfast" in during the first hour really does make a difference? I feel better, actually, and it does seem to jumpstart my day nicely. Took my good old beagle dog, Duke, with me on my walk last night - it was fun but not as long or productive as I would have liked. He had to stop at almost every post and bush to mark his territory. But it was nice to have company! Have a great Friday, all! :D Oh, and I love this smilie - - :lol3: Isn't it so funny?? Barbara Ann |

Hey all,
I'm totally new to this whole thing, but I thought this site could be the support I needed to finally shed the weight and keep it off. As of now, I've been currently living overseas for the past two years and I have seen my weight fluctuate so much, I'm at loss of what to do. Before leaving the states after college graduation, I weighed 139lbs. Starting at 200+lbs, in my last year of college: I joined a gym, walked my dog everyday for an hour (sometimes jogging), did sit-ups, crunches, yoga and basic belly dancing, and of course I ate smaller-healthier portions. So its easy to see how I lost the weight. But sadly, being overseas means a change in diet, the amount of time and availabily to exercise when free, and of coure the stress load from work. I know I've fallen off the horse, blaming the stated reasons and myself, and I've tried so many things to get back down to the size I was before I left. I'm a confessed yo-yo dieter and I want to stop. I would like to reach my goal of 130lbs. I'm interested in any and all (healthy) suggestions and/or opinions. Please and Thank you. |
Great NSV today. Rode my bike up the big hill this morning that made me so sick a few weeks ago. I was afraid to do it, but just kept breathing slowly and praying!
Rode 6 miles -- good thing since I tried the pancakes this morning for the very first time. Too many carbs compared to my beloved ready made vanillas. Chelle--Today is day two of phase two for me. Needing to move on because I leave on Sept 5.Phase two is easy breezy -- just like phase one with an extra meal and one less IP. I have done this some days anyway when I've been away before. Still have some weight to lose-- hope phase two doesn't let me down. Sounds like it's been good to you! Guess I need to go check out the after phase one board. In case I don't get to say it before you leave, I hope you have a wonderful trip-- and I will try to post before you go. |
:?::?:I seem to be out of ketosis.....I think i'm doing everything right....what can be doing this? Or do the sticks just turn at a certain time of day?
