Roll Call 3/3/2009

[tfek70]

Happy Tuesday STACers! Time for another glorious day. No losses to report this morning, but I really feel good doing the Easter Challenge. I could report a half pound loss, but I'll report a full one tomorrow.

I'm having a good breakfast of slow cooked curry chicken thighs with riced cauliflower (Thanks Julie).

Hope everyone else has a good day today.

Checking in & wishing everyone a wonderful day! Be good to yourself & remember to drink your H20.

I wish I had some riced cauliflower to make hash browns to go with my eggs this AM. Delish!

Good morning STACers! I've been sick for the past two days but am feeling better today. I'm definitely going to get some exercise now.

I was hoping that I would have lost a pound or two after 2 days of eating around 500 calories each but no such luck. Oh, well. Maybe I will see a loss by the end of the week.

Have a great day everyone!

Day 9 of a fairly strict induction. I bought a new car yesterday so now, I can't afford to eat. ;-)

I feel so good, though. I'm sleeping so good and I have so much energy. I go right to sleep with no help at all and I wake up feeling great.

We'll see what the ole scales have to say next Monday!!!

Good Morning... I have been a bad girl.

Last night I ate four Nutter Butter cookies... Yes, you heard me. My whole day was pretty good before that. I even went to the ball game and everyone around me ate popcorn... I was good and had jerky. But the roads were icy and I needed a snack just in case... like an idoit I bought something I shouldn't have. They were suppose to be a winter survival deal - I didn't go into the ditch...but I ate them anyway.

I know today is a new day. And so far I am on plan... 2 eggs and one sausage.

Please lord let me be strong today...let me put an X on the calendar for the day.

Hey Guys...Still here at 148 with no loss. Going to up the vegetables and see if that helps. TJ, congrats on getting below 200-you will be my weight soon...LOL!! Thanks for the support and I plan to stick with it even though I will never be the biggest loser. Have a great day.

Hi Tj and everyone, I need some help.....I'm new to the forum, and I can't figure out how to start my own post...but....
I check my urine daily with ketostix. Many days it shows that I am not in ketosis, other days, just trace. What is going on? I also have remained on induction in terms of low carb levels, because I am finding that if I eat more than about 20 g of carbs, I gain. Any suggestions? (I've lost 53 pounds so far, since June 2008, it's slowed down a lot now, where I don't lose anything, or gain and lose gain and lose...thanks

Jodel,
To start your own thread, just go to the forum you want to post in and click on the Start Thread button on the upper left corner of the page.

As for your weight loss slowing down, we need more info on your height and weight but it could be that since you've lost so much either your body is going through a period of adjustment or you are very close to your goal weight. Those last few pounds are the hardest to lose.

I hope this helps but whatever the problem, just hang in there because you have done a remarkable job so far and you don't want to get discouraged. Let us know how you make out.

[jodel]

Thanks, blue.
My height is five seven, and my weight was 263, now it's around 211, but keeps fluctuating between 211 and 218, 219. Then back down, then up. It's been going on for at least two months. I still have a lot to lose. The inability to add carbs has me frustrated and bored, but I'm sticking with it! Any other thoughts?

Good morning all!
TJ, I have that half pound loss to report too, but I'm holding back. I seem to be sitting right around the 294 mark again today. That's okay though...I revamped my eating plan for today but cutting out a few calories and increasing my carbs a little bit (I was only getting about 10 this past week), so I'm hoping to kick my body back into gear.

Good luck, and good day to all!
