Have not posted in awhile but have been lurking :) as I was a little discouraged. My week 2 weigh in I lost 6 lbs but my coach was concerned about my lean muscle mass reading being low. So she encouraged me to eat a little more lean protein everyday for the next week. I did and lost nothing my 3rd week. Not even inches :( I was bummed. So we took the extra protein off and my weigh in for week 4 was down another 3lbs. Now a total of 17 lbs. I am curious how this week will be and I am thinking of incorporating some light treadmill walking to see if that helps bump up my weight loss. My coach said light exercise is fine but anything that makes you break a sweat might require some extra protein to keep you balanced.

If your clinic lets you opt out of the Body Fat analyzer, and will charge you less, I would skip it. Your weight and measurements will give the real story. My old clinic gave us the option of tracking using that machine if we wanted to pay $5 extra per time. I did a couple of times but my scale was fairly accurate so I didn't bother most of the time and saved myself some bucks and caused myself less stress. :hug: BTW lifting weights is allowed and encouraged as long as you are not lifting heavy to bulk up, or at speed reps with lighter weight in a circuit type of exercise plan.

How do I tag someone like you tagged me? |
Quote:
if you want to multi quote, you can use the button with the quote marks in it and then you can quote several people in one comment. Hope that helps. Or did you mean when I put your name in bold? since it looks like you already can quote. Just highlight what you want to bold and hit the B or I to change the print. This is a way old program and doesn't really 'tag' like in some other forums. |
What would you guys have to drink at a bar right now on phase 1? Just stick to water? Is it really that risky to my ketosis to have a glass of Diet Coke or some other diet beverage on rare occasions? I don't normally even go to bars and never care about drinking alcohol, but it's a pretty unavoidable situation tonight (both going to the bar AND the expectation to be having drinks). Long story...

Also, I'm feeling like I want to EAT today. I've been at this 3 weeks tomorrow and have been feeling great, no cravings and hunger has been rare after the first few days. There is an extremely good chance it's related to stress/emotions today, but have any of you felt like this around the 3 week mark? I have every intention of just getting through it, but I'll take words of wisdom too.

Juniper10 - I get the feeling like I want to eat periodically. It probably did hit around week 3, and was emotion/stress related. I also get that way when I'm bored. I keep pickles around. :) When I go out to bars, I get a seltzer (not club) or an unsweetened ice tea. I like wine and whisky, but have gone for months w/o drinking in the past anyway, so it's not a biggie. I do like hanging out w/friends at the bars periodically, and they are used to it. So are the bartenders. It probably helps that one of the bar owners down here is on a low carb diet now. Her people completely understand that I'm not drinking.
How's everyone doing? My WI on Monday was pretty good. I only had a bigger loss (6 lbs) in week 1, and then I think about 2 per week after. She only did measurements the first time, but I'd like to hear those numbers in a few weeks. I'm going in every 2 weeks at this point - every week isn't doable with their hours and mine right now. They are around 40 minutes away, and they usually run late. If they had a weekend day or something after 5pm, I'd probably go more often. |

So close to 30 pounds for me! I asked on the ideal protein alternatives group on FB about how long it will take to lose 100 pounds and it seems for most people less than a year. So motivational!

Grayfaery You are doing great! Keep up the good work.
I must have experienced the famous Whooosh this week. WI 4 = -5. As much as I don't try to let the scale rule how I feel, this was extremely motivational. Have a great week IPers! Fight the good fight! |
Can you have Splenda brown sugar? I have a recipe that calls for brown sugar but I'm not sure it's OP.

I survived the bar, just stuck with water and it was fine. Meh, glad I'm not much of a drinker or it would have been a lot harder. Would have loved a Diet Coke at least though. I'd totally do unsweetened iced tea (love it) but it's never an option here in Canada, at least where I live. Just sweetened -- blech. Good idea on the flavourings, I'll throw one in my purse next time I'm going out.
