Hi everyone,

Great job on all your losses! I had WI today and lost another pound, so I FINALLY got to sign the 10 pound board. I'm pretty happy about that. The counselor did tell me that the exercise was keeping me from getting 3-5 per week. So I think I'm going to try the 30 min 3 times a week and see if she know what she's talking about. Hey, it can't hurt. I have been feeling really tired lately. I was thinking it was maybe the time change, but it could be the exercise. I know I was dog tired in the bosu class yesterday.

Thanks for listening to a total strangers rants. This board is wonderful. So glad I found you all. Happy Losing!!!

As for all the questions about ketosis. I found several sites.

lowcarblisa.tripod.com/id21 dot html
www dot lowcarbohydrate.net/httblog/archives/000136 dot html

The first has info about a diet similar to MRC, but a little more restrictive and no HNS. But, I like the way they explain ketosis. Made more since to me...

the stuff I got from mydietshopz had the same exact ingredients, so I'm not sure what you were looking at (what products I mean). Meemo orders from bodyandhealthessentials.com and they have great prices if you order at least 11 boxes I think and even better if you order 65+ boxes. LMK what you find and what products you saw with more sodium.

Ingredients
 

Thanks for the added info Rocki!!!

I might have been having a problem because I was comparing the concentrate (splenda) HNS with the ones on this website. Perhaps the powder HNS have more sodium? My HNS boxes are at home so I can't compare until tonight but if that is the case then it explains it!!

I just sent you a PM!

Another one to try is the Flat Out Light Wrap and cut it in half. It's got a little chewier texture, so I prefer it warmed up a bit but it does come in other flavors, so it's nice for a change of pace. You could skip the eggs altogether and just have the cheese and tortilla, then you don't even need it warmed. I'm with Meemo though on the eggs - I never stopped using large eggs; however, I rarely eat more than one egg a day.

Wrap Info.
 

Thanks for the info. Bomaze - I'll take a look at the grocery when I'm there next time. Thanks.

Crap I did it again, your right. uggggg!

Dang!! Everyone on this board writes in as fast as weight is lost!! Awesome job on the losses, everyone! :woohoo: There's so many people to reply to that I don't want to use up an entire page worth to reply to everyone, but I'm so impressed by the awesome progress! However, I did have to reply to you, ieduc8em 'cuz I just had a very similar experience to yours!
I just tried on a pair of pants at TJMaxx, they were a size 10 Levi's, which I used to own a pair of Levi's in high school that I miss terribly...I looked and looked at them and shook my head and said to myself "No-freakin'-way will these fit...."..but lo and behold, they zipped right up!! I swear, I twirled and twirled around in that dressing room just *looking* at myself...I wish I had someone to hug right at that instant!! What an awesome feeling that is! I can't wait to show them off to everyone! :dance: Oh yah, I finally hit my almost-20 pound weight loss, I was within a half-pound of it! yippee!!!
Oh, and however posted on the leg cramps and how they can be prevented by eating more broccoli, you are a genius! I have been plagued by leg cramps for the last week, I could barely walk without pain, let alone go to the gym. I was about to break down and eat a banana when I read the post about broccoli, I tried that instead, and voila! No more cramps and now I can go back to the gym!
Everyone is doing awesome, and here's to another great weekend and great losses for everyone! Thanks for all of your support! :dancer:

:carrot:Awesome on the size tens, Venvix! :carrot:

:hug:Thank you HappyDaisey! You're too sweet! :)

I'm rushed at breakfast also. I nuke an egg & put it on my toast sometimes just to switch it up. Plus I can eat & drive with my little sandwich! :D

Yesterday was my first day on the blue menu. I really was never hungry on the yellow...just missed a bit of variety. However...now my stomach actually growls! What's up with that? Why am I hungrier with this menu??? HELP

bodyandhealthessentials.com is where I've bought them.
Also you can make your own with Crystal Light (the bottled kind made with Splenda) and plain unflavored whey protein powder. The orange and the raspberry both came out pretty well, the lemonade I didn't like quite as much but it isn't undrinkable.

Thanks so much!! i guess my fragile ego needed a little extra love! And I used to be the same way, thinking that short hair would make me look chubbier, but it didn't. My face did!! teehee:o

I went to wi today thinking that since I've not been feeling well and not been getting in my water b/c of that, that I would have gained or maintained, but alas, I lost a pound! And that was after breakfast ,fully clothed (sans belt and shoes of course!!!)

Thanks everyone for being so sweet and letting me rant and being nice even though I was being that way!! There isn't really anyone else that lets me do that and is still nice to me. I told my hubby last night that I'm losing my boobs and they aren't looking as nice as they were. He sighed, crawled into bed and said "You are losing weight and you are still finding stuff to complain about! I swear, you are never going to be happy with yourself!!" And I thought, yes, I am happy that I am losing weight, but the one thing that I enjoyed about being overweight was for the first time in my life, I had cleavage! And now I have to give that up?!?! I suppose I don't mind having little boobies, (or tictacs as we used to call them!) but I don't want them to be ummm...shaped (?) the way they are starting to be shaped!! Anyone else have any problems with this!?! I swear, I'm going to get a boob job!!! :devil:


HEEEEE!!!!

I've noticed that too, maybe it's because the food isn't so blah and you want to eat more. When all I had to look forward to was cottage cheese and a big honkin salad, I wasn't so enthused about it. But, now I get CHICKEN!
