HAPPY B-DAY! What a great birthday gift you are giving yourself! I know what you are talking about when you say that your knees are killing you...man I forgot how bad it could get. I get winded climbing the stairs at work...argh...it used to be so easy before I gained this extra 20 pounds!

Have a great day!

jennydoodle...you have been a great motivator for me...Thank you. When I first starting following these threads there was [B]lisa[B] and she was also a great motivator. She used to post these great saying of the week...it was fun to read.

I know that I have read lots more than I post but my 'resolution' is to try and write at least 4 times a week.

Have a great day...or night! Brigitte

Day 4 for me...so far so good. Besides neglecting to prepare today's lunch....gonna hit the local supermarket at lunch time and hope their salad bar has some good stuff... I will also grab so WF dressing. I had hunger yesterday around 3pm, but it wasn't terrible. I just chugged water. Hoping it will be smooth sailing by the weekend.

hello all! I find for ME, I tend to get into a rut of eating almost the same 'safe' foods each day. That is dangerous as it starts to get boring. I just ordered the OXO Good Grip Hand Held Spiralizer, from Amazon to make 'zucchini' spaghetti noodles mmmmmmmmmmm. A coworker was eating that the other day and what a smart move! I have to be more creative

Morning...never had zucchini spaghetti noodles...actually never been a big fan of zucchini. Once you noodled your zucchini how do you cook it? What kind of sauce do you eat it with? Always looking for ways to change things up.

My favorite is extra-lean ground beef with 1 beef bouillon cube, 2 cups of water and 2 cups of cabbage...yummy...sometime add tomatoes...almost like lazy cabbage rolls.

Any others out there that have a favorite and would like to share?

Hey Dresa...I have read it so many times about having/taking the time to prep our meals. For me, when I work, I try to get everything ready the night before..key work...try...sometimes I am so 'dead' at night that I don't want to do it...I know how important it is...I can do it in the morning but then I have to get up earlier or miss my time walking on treadmill. When I cut up my veggies, like peppers, I try to do more so that when I am in a hurry I have some ready.
My favorite veggies are the red, yellow and orange peppers...but trying to stay under 30g of net carbs is not easy with these little fellows! I also LOVE my dill pickles...everyone thinks I'm crazy at work for always having dill pickles in my salads...oh well...

Let's keep chugging that H2O!

Being at work, definitely makes it easier to stay on plan.


I have not had any headaches, stomaches, or hunger issues in the two days on plan. I have been light-headed and blood sugar seems low today.

I love the zucchini noodles. I use them in place of pasta...so good

it was suggested to me to heat them up in a pan with a bit of olive oil. And yes, add spaghetti sauce over them... basil, etc however you like to flavor them up

Good morning rebooters!
2 days down! Starting to feel better today, so hopefully I am on the downside of the hump. This is the first time in a while that I have been able to stick to P1. How is everyone else doing? Sticking to the plan?

I still don't have that "hollowed out" feeling you get on P1, hoping that hits in a few days and I will start to "feel" slimmer.

I know exactly what you are speaking of. Waiting......though here is what kills me! a co worker I had not seen in a while says, 'you have lost weight, I can see it in your face AND body.".......... though the scale shows slowwww loss. But that is how a low carb WOE can affect your body. I remember my first go around. 165 at IP weight is SMALLER than 165 at any other diet

Day 4 of my reboot. I woke up with a headache this morning. I do not think I had my salt intake yesterday . Will do better today. I already feel so much better not having cravings. My skin always looks really good when you get the processed food out of your body. We can do this.

Coffeebean - too funny you mention this - I swear, hand to god, I just looked in the mirror and thought "My skin looks so good today!" I guess it's a thing! Keep on keepin' on!:carrot:

On Day 3, still hanging in. I don't know if I have headachy feeling - I have such a bad sinus cold/flu, I can't tell if my headache and other aches is from that or not, lol!

Thanks for the link to the spiralizer recipes - definitely using mine this time.
