At a loss... very upset

Hi there! I was looking at your menu- do you think maybe it could be the amount of cheese? I don't know, but I just noticed that you include cheese in every meal, and even as a snack. I too love cheese very much- but I try to eat it only once a day because I'm afraid I'll eat too much of it.

Also, forget the scale- How do your clothes fit? Do you feel lighter, slimmer, and better altogether. I know how you're feeling right now- I also gained on my 5th day of induction and I was sad too, but I love the way my clothes are fitting me better, and when I bend over to tie my shoes or get something off the floor, I don't feel that bothersome tummy anymore. That in itself is enough to keep my going. Have you tried using Ketostix to give you the phsychological assurance?

Just some thoughts- great job, and keep going- you will do it!!!

I haven't been on the site in a few days...but wanted to thank all of you for your great suggestions and encouragement. I do eat cheese a lot. The shredded cheese I put in my eggs is just shredded from a block of cheddar. I am going to eliminate some cheese this week and see what happens. I am also going to up my exercise a little as well... my goal is at least 4 times/wk. I took measurements today...down a bit, not alot. I feel a little bloated... but that may be due to mother nature I am down 8.5lbs now... and I feel good about it. Would love to be 10 down by next week! AGain, thanks so much for your input everyone~!

LilysMommy,
Good for you that you are already down 8.5 lbs and inches moving down too! That is great! It's hard to cut the cheese (LOL) out of the diet so much when it really adds great flavor to foods. I'm sure you can do it though.
Great job so far! Keep up the good work!
