I'm just curious but am I adding enough fat to my meals? I was so mad this morning because I got on the scale and it read 267, I find that kind of odd since two days before the scale read 262 I don't know how I could have gained back 5 pounds in just 2 days. I need to get out of the habit of weighing myself frequently because it's only discouraging me... I almost gave up this morning and the box of cheez-it's in my cupboard looked really really good but I said to myself "No, I"ve gone through 6 days of induction if I cave in I'll have ruined everything." I just don't know what I'm doing wrong...

I think your menu looks ok..... one of the more experienced ADBBer's will let you know for sure. But don't get discouraged by the scale... Are you measuring yourself? I was on a stall for over 2 weeks on the scale but i was still getting smaller. Another thing is TOM might be around the corner, that will make you hold more water. 1 more thing... make sure your sausage dosent have added sugar

Hey, I haven't measured myself but that's a good idea I should go and do that because I'm about to throw the scale out the window! So does it matter what type of scale you have? I have one of those digital ones that you add batteries too but am not sure if that was such a good idea, maybe the old fashioned ones work better.

I have an old set... Just try the tape. I know I lost 4 inches in my belly during those 2 weeks I stalled.

Hey Kimberly!

Your menu seems alright to me! The measuring is a very good tool as the scale does lie! It's good practice not to weigh yourself every day or at all during the two-week induction period.

Otherwise, the food you listed all seems legal (except perhaps the cider vinegar). Are you drinking coffee or caffeine? Those sometimes hold people up.
