Talking Addicted!

I am addicted to checking my ketones and looking at everybody progress! They both make me very happy!
I' am like YES day 3 on the darkest! WOO HOO, or alright look at them they are at 78% that makes me happy for them and happy because some day soon I hope I will be there!

Anyone else feel like I do!?! (barrowed from Peter Frampton comes alive LOL just kidding but I noticed that after I wrote it)

I was too in the beginning. Now I check every so often especially after a day of eating (what in my opinion is over-eating). Just like weighing yourself...the novelty does wear off

I'm afraid that if I check my ketones I'll be nuts about it too! Like the scale!

I haven't bought the strips, yet, but I'm sure you aren't alone!!!!

I totally agree with wiggles! I am so addicted to the scale. & I think I will have to put it away. I did do the sticks in the beginning...EVERYDAY! I saw that it would become a habit also & stopped buying them. But I loved checking!

Keep up the good work!

I find it interesting to check once in a while but the results have a lot of variables, like how much water consumed, time of day, excercise. etc. I used them a lot when I first started but don't anymore.

I used to be addicted myself. Now I check myself maybe once every other day (yes, that's being good! lol), typically in the morning.
