Thanks you guys!! =) I checked the scale this morning.....No loss whatsoever. Just the same as I was before, 208. I guess I lost a few inches somewhere on my body, but I honestly haven't had time to take measurements of me yet cause of school. It looks like it in the mirror, so I won't get discouraged. I can do this!!! =) Hopefully I will lose more on OWL than I have on just staying on Induction for months on end.

Thats right, dont get discouraged! when the pounds stop moving the inches start and vice versa!

Veggies are good, but remember PISS, it can take a while after induction for the scales to stop moving, so dont stress it if you dont have a loss for a week or so, rely on that tape measure!

I will. After this semester is over. My goodness, it seems like forever until the 15th when I will finally be free. Oy vey!! -.- I'm getting myself some Pea Pods to munch on today for my snack, raise the carbage 5 grams. I normally eat around 15 grams of carbs a day. So now it's going to be 20. We'll see what happens. ^^

You're going to love OWL. I take my measurements every two weeks on Sunday morning - its a routine I've started since the beginning and now its just a habit to do this. Write out what foods you are adding, how they affect you and find new recipes so you can thoroughly enjoy your changes. Best wishes!!

Default Re: Hey guys!!!

Congrats on your decision to move to OWL... you'll enjoy it tremendously, and the extra food choices are very welcome.
I'll echo the advice on measureing. I didn't do that, and regretted it. There were times that the scale didn't move for me, but I could feel my clothes getting looser. It would have been nice to have seen those inches go, in detail.
Happy OWLing!
