Induction marathon: 4 weeks (3rd Sep - 1st Oct)....anyone with me?

Tania - did you get weighed yesterday (Monday)??? What was your loss??? My computer was down all weekend so I've been outta the loop. Hope you all did great over the weekend!

I'm up 2 lbs - so at 238.2. Not too worried, it was a camping weekend, so as much as you try to eat well, it's probably not completely balanced. Plus, I feel a bit bloated - so will drink more water today and will drop by tomorrow.

Ate really well. Was camping with my hub, sister and BIL. My sis is also lo-carb, so we made really good food. Lots of meat and veggies. Even tho we made salads, I may have not gotten in enough.

Went to a party, stayed away from the desert table and the sweet corn. Ate salads - so did very well. Did have one salad - it was really good - but I asked for the recipe and when I got it yesterday, found there was 2 cups of sugar in it [yikes]. I am going to make it for a party this weekend using splenda. Once I check it out to make sure it's induction friendly, I will post on this forum.

I'm home today doing housework, paperwork, etc - so a good day to get in some exercise and lots of water and good eating!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Diastrous weekend EXCEPT where diet was concerned. Sunday we went to a steakhouse with friends, thinking it was safe, and realized after eating a few pieces of grilled veg that they coat it in SUGAR! Zucchini should NOT be sweet! We also realized after eating taht they coat their steaks in sugar too! We told the guy we couldn't have sugar but I guess he forgot to mention it to chef. (thank goodness the steakhouse near us doesn't do that)

Despite that little hiccup I still lost 2 pounds over the long weekend and am 1 pound away from my first mini-goal! Hopefully I'll have time to workout tonight...really working my arms for my sleeveless wedding dress What's the point of losing lots of weight if my skin hangs outside my dress??? So 30 minutes of cardio and 3 reps of 15 with the 10 pound weights in several different moves. Pumped a good friend for info as he sees a trainer twice a week. Going to get our BIG ball out and use that as well for the nights I can't drag myself out of the apartment for cardio.


Hope everyone had a fabulous fat-losing weekend! I'll be checking in later!!

Those 2 pounds will drop right away once you get back to your water, exercising and veggies. I'm looking forward to getting weighed on Thursday I feel like I've done really well. I'd love to know how Tania did she was getting weighed yesterday.

I'm with ya girl!!!
This is my 8th day....I started on September 1st! I woke with so much energy to day....I LOVE IT!! I feel better after a week of being on induction which gives me motivation to keep on trucking!!
I am leaving for Key West, FL on October 21st for a vacation, so I feel ya!
Let's do this!!

I would have needed oxygen if I found out my veggies and steak were coated in sugar!! Here you are ordering right on plan and they could have totally thrown you off with that. Thank God you still lost so it doesn't seem like it hurt you at all.
We leave for vaca in December so I know what you mean, October 21 will be here before you know it.

Seriously....who coats their vegie's and steaks in sugar? Weird!

Take Care!

Guys,

What can i say? My weight not budging an inch. I must admit, i slipped on the weekend and drank 2 glasses of white wine. (felt so good!). But somehow alcohol always stalls my weight loss so i should be blaming myself for this. But i am going strong now.

Diamonds- you are my inspiration. Please let me know how much you lost when you weigh on thursday.


Trisha- We are on same deadline. You are leaving for Key West on 21st Oct and i am leaving for Vegas on 22nd OCt. Its just 6 weeks! Gotta give in all i have.

diamonds - at our state fair this year, they had chocolate covered bacon ?? not sure that I could even try it...and I do love chocolate.

Tania - stay positive. I still drink beer, which is the reason for my slow weight loss, but I always eat on plan. One bad habit at a time for me.

I'm down my 2 lbs from the weekend, which is thrilling. I think I'll hop on the Thursday weigh in, altho I do weigh every day, I'll just change my ticker on Thursdays.

Did really well yesterday, and drank tons of water - which helped tremendously! Have a big salad and my fresh veggie baggie pre-made for work today - and grocery shopping tonight [much needed] - I'm excited about this week...I'm really trying to get to that 230 mark!

Happy Wednesday ladies.
