Today is day 7 for me. I weigh in tomorrow. I usually have a major woosh but I don't think I will this time as I wooshed 4 pounds during the 3 days before I started, just by cutting alcohol, drinking tons of water, and eating low carb. I am hopeful for 2-3 pounds...fingers crossed. I feel so much better.

Darbs we are on the same track - today is day 7 and tomorrow is my weigh in at the clinic. I will be happy to be down 3, as my home scale has be down 2. Weekends are OMG HARD! I do feel like I am doing two things at once - IP AND stopping drinking, which we did a LOT of over the holidays. Like, this weekend coffee without Bailey's just felt CRIMINAL! HA! And no brunchy mimosas! Truly I didn't eat out one meal during all seven days, which in itself in an accomplishment! I'm REAAAALLLLY trying to pound the water and keep sodium at a minimum today - now that I type that out, that should be every day! Hang in there!!! Good luck tomorrow!

Day 7 for me as well. Any loss is a good loss! Although I was over the "getting into ketosis" hump by late last week, I am finally over the "hungry" hump. It usually takes me a little bit longer to stop being hungry all the time, but I am there now. Otherwise, still plugging along and feeling good. I just found out that I am going to have to travel in the beginning-mid February, so I have 5 weeks to finish this reboot and lose the remaining 5#. If all goes well, this should not be a problem.

Ha, ha, ha....it's always cold here in Winnipeg :)

Good morning everyone! Day 7 today and I feel pretty good. I think I went through the headaches, etc. last week when I was suffering with a bad head cold so in a way, it went okay. First weigh-in tomorrow - I'm running a Biggest Losers challenge at work so fingers crossed!

4.3 pounds lost the first week. Small loss (comparatively)....but I'm pretty sure it was because I was drinking Dayquil and Nyquil while fighting bronchitis. Lesson learned - think about everything that goes into your mouth!

a serving of Nyquil has 19 carbs...it will keep you out of ketosis if you take several in a day. I don't sleep well in ketosis (I am wired) so I take zquil tablets, if I only have the liquid at home I take a small does (about 1/4th). I have to take them the entire time I am on phase 1....if I miss a night...I lose so much sleep

Okay! Week 1 of P1 reboot behind me! Down almost three, which I am truly HAPPY WITH! I do realize that this isn't like my first true P1 week, but more like the "last ten pounds/final stretch" period of time and it will go slower.

Last week I was 148.2 and today 145.4. "Fat mass" went from 49.8 to 46.2, and fat % went from 33.6% to 31.8%. Last year at this time I was 162.2#/FM 61.4#/F%37.9%.

So again, all in all I'm truly HAPPY, and not disappointed! I do realize, too, that the fat mass/% numbers aren't considered accurate and maybe even mumbo jumbo fake science, but, it's a motivation to see numbers moving in the right direction, so I'll take it! Got back to Orange Theory this morning...my MIO Link claims I burned 575 calories, and again, inaccuracies and mumbo jumbo perhaps, but it felt great!

Uhm, how can it only be TUESDAY?!?!?! Hope everyone is doing well today! Roll on week 2!

I have an Orange Theory membership, but haven't made it to a class yet. Planning on going once or twice a week once I do. How do you like it?

Congrats on the losses everyone! I know that I, for one, am feeling so much better. I feel lighter and leaner and I think that I visibly look smaller too. Being that I had a full 7 days on P1, I had to do a quick sneak peek at the scale, even though I really do try to only weigh in once a week. But, I needed to see the total net loss for the full week and I was rewarded for my diligence. I was 139 this morning. Woo-hoo! That is 5.4# down from 12/30. I'll take it. It felt so good to be back into the 130's, such a relief.

Saturday will be my official weigh in for the week, so we will see how that goes. I am hoping for another pound by then. Slowly getting back to goal weight. I keep telling myself that the more strict I am on P1 now means the less time I will need to be on it ;)

Today the girl that cuts my hair said immediately when I walked in -- You've lost weight. I was shocked she could tell since it was only 7 pounds. She said my face was thinner. That is motivation

Hi all,

Day 6 and I'm still at 139:(

Congrats on all your losses ladies. I loooove Orange Theory!!!!! its the best workout ever. Ive noticed my endurance is pretty bad on this diet though and it could be slowing my losses, but I am addicted and I cant stop going:(

Yesterday I logged 550 calories at Orange but to be honest I think the calories you burn there are off. I think its more like 300. I didn't go crazy at al, and even walked out and missed a 400 meter row, and still logged all those calories.

I love working out so its very hard not to. I am not going today because my husband is pulling a 24 hour shift, and I am drinking lots of water so lets see if my weight goes down tomorrow. I will check in.

Jenny, you are doing great!!!

my body hates ketosis after the first time.... very slow losses for me:)
