I was at Fred Meyer this weekend and found a bunch of wf stuff in their diebetic section.
I was wondering about how you were doing~ I remember your post about thinking it was going to be a hard weekend. How'd you come through?
I hit a huge wall. This weekend I simply did not feel like dieting any more. My hair is really falling out, I got constipated, I felt sick and tired of preparing separate foods, and I was just done. On the other hand, I'm a few pounds shy of losing 60 pounds, I am starting to be able to wear clothes from the regular section, and I can move sooooo much more easily! So, I pushed through the wall without cheating, and now I feel like I am ready to cruise again. Whew!
I went to a consultation this afternoon and will be starting this Thursday. Any tips or advice? I'm new & these forums can be so overwhelming! Would love to know what alternatives others may be using, what has/hasn't worked for some, etc...
Anyway, everyone is an inspiration & I'm looking forward to losing with all of you
Hi everyone, I'm in the Shoreline/Edmonds area. I go to a clinic in Edmonds. I'm about 8 months into my journey and found out yesterday that I'm 3lbs from goal. I was EXCITED!!!

The stresses of the weekend were not as bad as giving myself food poisoning. I went off plan for a day and a half with a few crackers and toast. But today I am back and continuing on my journey. I am so excited for you to be so close. Congratulations.
Hey, I'm not in WA anymore but super home sick LOL. Actually just got back from WA. I was in the NE Tacoma/Federal Way area. Also Spanaway/Puyallup.. Miss home.. now I'm stuck in Bismarck, ND (been here just over a year) Just wanted to add my 2cents

Aaack--food poisoning! I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you're feeling ship/shape now.
I think you might be confusing me with justmysize, who just found out she is three pounds from goal. (Wooooooot to you jms!)
The truth is...I'm a loooooong way from goal. I could barely deal with that a few days ago, but I'm reconciled and resolute now.
Thought I'd add my 2¢ here: I'm from Orting (close to Sumner, Bonney Lake, Graham & Puyallup/South Hill). I was going to the clinic in Lake Tapps, but I've since decided to go it alone, using this site for resources and support. I've been on IP before, but I'm restarting tomorrow. So happy to meet you all!!
I am orignally from the West Side (Snohomish) and now in Cle Elum. DH and I work in Tukwila, so long commutes. Go to a clinic in Issaquah on my way home once per week.
IP is a blessing! I am now down where I have not been in YEARS and it feels so good. I was actually called "thin" today so it is starting to be noticeable by folks.

Hi Vovo! Welcome!
My advice is read read read the stickies posted in the first post of every daily chat. Having a good understanding of this diet makes it sooooo much easier to stay committed and refrain from cheating! It's hard to believe, but some coaches don't really do a good job of explaining ketosis. I know mine didn't. (She's sweet, though.) Anyway, I cheated a couple of times the first 2 nights. Once I read about ketosis and keeping in ketosis, I was much more motivated to say NO to temptation!

Happy day everyone!!!
It just came to my attention that I have not properly celebrated the nearness of goal!
