For all those with TOM issues (too little, too much, too often). YES it is because of the fat loss! When we ladies lose weight quickly, that estrogen that was stored up in our fat cells floods our system. That causes our cycles AND our moods to go haywire.
It also causes birth control to be less effective, so make sure you're using extra protection if you don't want an IP baby - or go to town (and prepare to phase off) if you DO! :) |

A lot of people follow a paleo diet after for maintenance. I plan to do that myself more than likely -- returnin' to my cave man roots :jig: |
So I had my first official weigh in... and at one week I lost an AMAZING 14.2 pounds and 6.75 inches!!!!! I stayed OP (with alternatives) and only had one oops when hubby cooked edamame and I ate it thinking it was ok!
I have to say I feel so positive about this journey! I cant wait to see the future me :D I was telling friends today that I dont even feel deprived with this plan. Today was my once a month kidfree 'spa' day, when I get my hair and nails done, and BEFORE I would have stopped for a lemonade and 1-2 donuts, and then driven into the city and had a large sub for lunch with chips and pop and then probably have gotten a pop afterwards again! TODAY.. I got up and enjoyed my morning shake while checking emails, went and got my hair done, then came home to eat my lunch of veggies, 1 boiled egg (with two egg whites) and salad. I brought water with me for the drive, had a herbal tea with a friend and then had my nails done! No cheats... no thoughts about cheating!!! I know next week wont be as big a drop...but I am still excited to see the scales keep going lower!! Yay IP..and yay for everyone on here with amazing advice and recipes and support! Danna ps.. I also ended the week with chest congestion... so it was super nice to see the numbers drop the way they did! :D |

Thanks ladies! :) It was so encouraging! My weight now reflects what I was before both my boys.. I lost 5 years of weight in 7 days! Craziness!

feeling crappy...oh no!
First weigh in is Friday, looking forward to the pancakes....the cereal with cold water sounds nasty...
I think I figured out why I feel as bad as I did on day 3, we were out of town yesterday and although I brought 3packs with me, I didn't drink enough water, or take supplements and, I think this was the major culprit, I put milk and splenda in 2 teas...and ate little veggies (only what was on the 2 salads I ordered at the fast food places on route). So...tomorrow, hoping to be back to my normal self...I felt good for 2 whole blissful days, lol... Just hope it doesn't screw up my WI too much... |

So.... I had my DD Rx filled today and while so I had my pressure checked. Granted it wasn't TOO high, but it was hypertension high...... I had a salad and IP pasta for lunch then attempted to donate blood after. I was rejected because my iron was low :( So I'm a bit bummed tonight.....

I am getting my first blood workup done next week since I started IP, excited to see what it says! Will post my before and after results once I get them!
I also haven't seen my primary doctor since I started, she has no idea. I am sure she will be surprised I have lost 70 lb since I last saw her! |
