Good Morning!
(That ketosis early morning wake-up thing can kick in anytime now)




I thought that one was cute...

Well, I'm really wanting to start waking up early like I used to when I was in ketosis before... but, the last few days I've been waking up at 4am, then 6am, then hitting snooze until 8am when I HAVE to be up to take my son to the bus... Not like me in ketosis at ALL, so I'll be buying ketosis strips or digging out my old ones from a box somewhere around here... not everything is unpacked yet...

And, where is everyone? Numbers have dwindled horribly since I've been here last...

I hope everyone is having a GREAT morning and has a terrific day!

I'm here - I'm an early bird too! At work and ready to get things done - great mood. Weight is 232, which is good, but looking for a drop this weekend [fingers crossed!]

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm here and on plan and looking for a drop this weekend too barrnone. I'm not quite sure why I've been stuck at this weight for a week, it seems so early to be slowing down to a pound or less a week and I've been over my meals with a fine tooth comb and can't find any culprits. I don't eat any frankenfood, I eat pretty plain meals most of the time like a ground beef patty and green beans or salad. Haven't changed my salad dressing or any condiments. Never drank soda before or now. I do allow myself 1-2 glasses of iced tea with sweet-n-low a day, but that has never caused problems before. I realize this is NOT before, so I might experiment with cutting down or letting go of my ice tea, but that is my one true passion.

I think my body is just in shock and trying to figure out what I'm doing to it and will catch up soon (at least I hope).

Have a great day all!

Hi All, I am new but I am back to the plan

I could not sleep last night and didn't go to bed until after 4...I am used to getting up at 6 with DH but this morning I stayed in bed until my son woke up.

Laura - The cartoon is really cute

Barnone - I'll keep my fingers crossed for a loss for you this weekend.

Barb - great job on the 15 pounds, stand stills are hard,

Good Morning Ladies!

I've been wondering the same thing about how quiet it's gotten around here since last time I was around. No one has offered an explanation for that one yet. But the people who are around seem to be very active on the boards, so that's nice. I do much better with support.

I'm on Day 13 of Induction and 3 1/2 lbs down. I lost 5 lbs on induction last time around, but I was also 3 years younger. I'm happy with my progress thus far and look forward to adding more veggies in OWL because my body seems to really like that. Another 1/2 lb and I'll be 10% of the way to goal

I'm SO happy it's Friday! Can't wait to head home. We're making steak on the grill, and I'm thinking about topping mine with the mixture used inside the whooshie pie. I love that flavor and a lil whooshie would be nice.

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend!

Barb - I'm a firm believe in Celery and Water !!! lots of it !!! Good luck.

Wecome Bizzie - cute pic - hate those sleepless nights. Have a good day!

kmrsail - I've heard you use the word 'whoosie' before - what's whoosie pie?

[kmrsail]

"Whooshie" used to be a popular word around here. A "whooshie" is an overnight weight loss...whatever it may be. Whooshie Pie or Hamburger Pie is one of my favorite Induction friendly foods (if you leave out the onion). Most people do see a "whooshie" after eating it because horseradish is a diuretic. I find the mixture you put inside to be very flavorful, and I think it will be great on steak! If you make the pie I suggest putting half the mixture inside and half on top (in the last 15 min) so it doesn't dry out. Here's the recipe:

I love the whooshie sauce as well, I think I'll have that tonight since you mentioned it. I don't put it inside the burger any more either, I just make up the sauce and use it on burgers, steak whatever. I like spicy stuff and it makes a flavorful topping.

I know I already checked in today, but I had to come back to report... After I posted earlier I got my shower and went to get dressed and being Friday (I do my laundery on the weekends) it was slim pickens for what I had to wear and actually wanted to wear. So I went to the drawer where I put the clothes that don't fit but I'd like to still wear some day, lol. And came accross a brand new black velour sweat type of outfit that has never fit me since I bought it, but I liked it and held onto it. Its been 2 years since I bought it and IT FIT!!!!! So forget that darn scale, I'm making progress, plus I noticed today when I look down, I don't see any belly, JUST BOOBS!

[kmrsail]

This absolutely made my day! I wish I could look down and see those, but I've never been, ummm, "blessed" in that department. What a wonderful feeling to fit into something BRAND new and never worn! Rock your outfit today!
