Good morning everyone!!!!

It's a gorgeous, sunny day here today.

I hope all of you have a fabulous, low carb day.

Remember to drink lots of water and fit some form of exercise into your day.

Happy low carbing!

Hi Sarena, Hello everyone. Happy Low carbing to you all today.

Good afternoon Ladies. It already feels like it's going to be a long long day. LOL..I'm ready for a nap and the busy part hasn't even begun yet!

Hi everyone

Sarina - I'm lovin' that "1"91 in your stats - you go girl!

[SEHostetler]

Good afternoon everyone! I'm starting to feel a little desperate as the scale hasn't moved yet in a week and a half. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'll up my water intake and see how that goes. I need to lose a few more pounds by Friday! Ok, enough of me whining. Hope everyone is having a wonderful low carb day!

Hi Sarah,

Don't let the scales get you down. Although they may not be moving right at the moment...take a look at the way your clothes are fitting you and evaluate it that way....you're most likely still losing inches.

Don't freak out...just as they say, do everything you're suppose to be doing...eating correctly, drinking lots of water and exercising and before you know it the scales will move, I promise you!

Maybe take a peek at what you're eating....have you been eating a little more salt than usual? Or perhaps you're coming up to your TOM.....or what about your cheese consumption.....just a few things to consider and if none of these things apply.....just be patient and keep doing everything you're suppose to be doing and it will move.

We're all here behind you....keep up the great work!

Cheers!

Hey Niko!

I read your post at my office today at work around noon or so and was I on the same page as you!!!! I was soooo incredibly tired today, I was worried!

I told my co-worker that I was freaked out...I was sooooo tired I thought I was going to fall asleep at my desk for sure!

Hopefully we'll get a great night's sleep this evening.

Hope the rest of your day was great!

Take care,
Sarina

Thank you for your encouraging and supporting words of advice! I have taken a look at my current eating habits and I've kicked out low carb bread and tortillas, diet pop (only used as a treat once in a while anyway) and pretty much sticking to induction friendly foods at this point. I am very stingy with salty foods as they make me puff up like a blow fish...and the TOM is a possibility. I have PCOS so my TOM is kind of hit and miss, so we'll see. I'll just keep truckin along and see if I can find a way to improve by this weekend, and if I don't, I'll forget about it, relax, enjoy my weekend, and come back stronger and harder next week. I really appreciate your help, support and advice! Congrats on all of your success, you are so inspirational!
