Hey everyone! Im back!! and i had a great NSV today.. I went out for lunch with my hunny and his sister and the sisters DH..we went to our favorite place...and i decided to eat before i left the house..and when we got to the restraunt.. i ordered a diet coke and didnt order ANYTHING ELSE!!! That means OP!! yay!!! So happy for me..

As for my mini-atkins phase that ive used for the first few days..its about to end tommorow...i will be going strictly to 3 packets starting tommorow plus one good meal..im really hoping my stuff gets here soon cause im looking foward to a new flavour of pudding! and a better bar! So..i was right WUV...it did work to do it my way instead of strictly IP..diet diversity !! it works!!

Coliep! That means that your diversity in your diet will work too! Just got to find what works first..glad to hear your not up at all!!

My only issue is that im suffering from a crazy amount of insomnia this past week! Any thoughts on how to make it better?

Port - when I am in ketosis the insomnia and excessive dry mouth/thirst are really hard on me too. I don't know the solution other than to get a lot of exercise to exhaust yourself!

So, my diet diversity last night included several cocktails - I did the no carb version, but still had them. I also ate out but did my best to be close. Probably a mix of dehydration and getting further into ketosis so that I will "gain" it back, but this morning was an all-time low: 141.6. That's just about my wedding weight =)

O.k. so I finally did a comparison between how I was and how I am now.
Sometimes we don't really notice how much change we have accomplished, especially us bigger people.
But several people have now told me they can tell about the weight from my face and neck.
So here is a now and then pic, now keep in mind this is still at 260 with 55 more pounds to go, but I think you can see the difference.

YUP!!!...i can see the difference!!...keep up the great job! You are like me, can't really see the different yourself until you look at pics like this. I still feel as though my body is the same even though I know it is smaller. ALL of my shirts are not too big for me and fall off of my shoulders but I still wear them cuz I am not buying any new clothes yet. Maybe when I hit 80lbs if I can hold off that long I will buy some new ones...ha

You might want to take the multi-vitamin early morning and noon instead of evening cause I know that they keep me up....not sure why but they do.

Awesome before and after wayward

Ok has anyone else done something as non-thinking as I did today. I went shopping at bath and body works today for some new foam soap and got pulled into the candle section...I am a candle freak...love them...spent so much money on partylite, which I love...anyway I was hungry and the frosted cupcake smelt so good so I bought one 3 wick candle...and some other scents I fell in love with. I get home tonight and I'm sniffing the candle and now very very hungry for a cupcake. I could just smack myself in the head. What was I thinking? I can be strong, I will fight this...and I will torture myself burning the candle, which by the way smells so good. 3 lessons I have learned from this little adventure.

1. never go to the mall hungry...I know when I started out at 10:30 this morning shopping I was fine but I was hungry by the time I got to the mall and was hit by all the food smells....not good, but i did well.

2. Also carry a bar with you for the above occasions

and 3. Never by a food smelling candle especially a food that is off limits...what was I thinking. Thank god I didn't get the chocolate mint one...I might be eating the darn thing.
