Laura, I would love to have a buddy to help me through this. I began last Saturday at 255lbs, decided to wait till this Saturday to weigh. One week later....down to 245! Yeah! I'm going to promise myself not to step on the scale again until next Saturday.
I've been doing my ketostix (pink/light purple all week) and drinking all of my water. I've realized the key for me is to drink room temperature water. I don't like really cold water. One member thought my sticks were dark cause I was dehydrated. So, I upped my water and I'm still pink/light purple.
I ate as clean as I could all week. Splurged twice on a little bit of cottage cheese and the board members dinged me on it.
I really hate the veggies but am cooking sauted mushrooms and eating cucumbers and peppers raw. Salad very intermittant.
Main diet: beef kabobs, chicken with provolone cheese, eggs and bacon.
Exercise: Minimal but better than my usual routine. Walked 2 x this week for 30 or more minutes. Parking farther and using stairs at work.
So, how are you doing? Are we going to use this thread to connect? Is there another way to connect on this site, like a buddy thread?
