Day 6 tomorrow

[loana]

well I had a pretty good day today.. me thinks? but how come I feel like I probably did not loose any weight? I feel like the scale will still be stuck at 230 tomorrow for the third day. I feel full still form dinner(I did not eat to stuff myself) but I had salad for the first time today and it was soo good that now I feel guilty? and I had a chicken breast.. Gosh I ma eating soooooooooooooo much healthier now than I have in FOREVER.. but I still feel weird like guilty about tonight's dinner.. I guess the scale will tell me tomorrow!
anyone else has this experiences?

Guess I'm following ya around the board tonight...lol.

Tag. You're it!

Let's see. You're on day 6, right? Hmm...and you've lost how much in 6 days??? Is that 10 pounds in your siggy that you've ditched? Wo ohooo!

Well, let me tell you, you've lost a lot of water weight and are now in the phase of burning fat. There will be times when your body's fat cells will exchange for water...not shrinking just yet. It's just so science-stuff. lol. Anyhooo...then you experience the "whoosh" aka: Whooshie, if you haven't heard of that term before.

Keep eating your veggies, your digest tract will thank you lol.

And you're truly doing a great job! Keep it up!

Thanks.. well I lost the first 4 pounds in WW but I got stuck.. so Ihave lost on atkins 6 lbs in 6 days.. but I weighed the same yesterday and today.. I am on my period.. I am assuming that could be messing with the scale?I feel kind of bloated... also is there anything I can take for helping me go.. besides the celery LOL...

[Lisa M]

Well, then, sweetheart...you know TOM is just the problem! lol!

Don't forget to drink plenty of water during these times.

Still 6 pounds is great for 6 days...regardless

Thanks soo much!!! I weighed this morning and it shows a gain of 1lb I am really sad but I will blame the TOM so I will just drink plenty of water and eat my list foods like I been doing is still very discouraging to see.. I will stop weighing daily

great idea!! Weighing daily can be depressing. Dr. A suggested not weighing until your 2 week Induction was over. We have a Tuesday weigh in challenge in the main forum if you want to join us. It is not a contest, everyone is very supportive and its fun to see everyone losing. Do not feel guilty eating your veggies, they are a must have on this way of eating. OWL rung one is 5 more carbs of veggies. They really will help you lose the weight in the long run.

Thank you so much!!! I will check out that challenge in a bit!!!!! I will hide my scale or send it in hubby's ar to work until the end of 14 days!
Thanks again!

Don't forget those measurements! Take your measurements! The scale lies...remember that

[loana]

what do I measure? my belly, hips? thights?

[Lisa M]

Here's what I watch shrink....folks differ

Neck
Upper arm
Forearm
Under arm pit around to the front
Chest/breast...largest part with brazier on
Rib under chest
Belly button
Hip
thigh
knee
calf
ankle

Weird? Yep, I am. lol. I like to see everything change shape by the tape measure. Some people call it OCD....I like to call it, keep check and tell the scale its a big fat lier.
