Hey everyone, I guess I must really like this thread because this is the most I've written on any thread. My day is going good. It's 2:00 I usually get tired around 1:30-2:00 but I'm not. I hope it was the water. I am just spreading it out more instead of cutting in down. I will drink more in the evening that way if I get tired I wont know becuase I will be sleeping

I am also changing my sign until ours is done.

The only thing thats keeping me going with kiss is that I'm planning a cheat day when I finish the 100 days. I never did induction and had expected that all my cravings would disappear when I cut out AS which I used a lot of. Its been 15 days and I think about sweets all day. I can resist them but I think about them. Did this happen with anyone else?

nawchem, my post on page 3 of this thread was my first confession about the same situation. I started taking L-Glutamine because of it, only for the last 2 days. I can honestly say that I did not crave or think about sweets yesterday and not so far today. Now if it works throught the real hard times like when it's in front of my face I will be a true believer. So my suggestion would be to try L-Glutamine.

thanks aducart

I like the star cheat free signature, it's the only way I'm ever going to be a star. Winter has arrived today, cold, cold, no there has to be another word for it. The sun was bright and shining and if you were sitting in your house by a window it was just like "being a cat". Go outside though and it was a different story, went downtown today and the wind was coming off the water and straight up into town. We have been having really nice weather and then it changed over night.
Thanks for the visits girls, I have gotten back on track. It's nice to come here and be positive again. I'm going through the cravings again but as I mentioned before the Splenda is out of the house and so is the chocolate. So I'm officially on day 2.
Hope everyone is doing well, I see double digit stars. Here's to seeing stars in our eyes.

I like the star too, when Boo get's the other one finished I'll post it here and you guys can use what you want. Thanks to whoever Glim stole the star from!! It looks neat to see all of us with the same star and announce how well we are doing to the rest of the board.

Adukart- SR Potassium is one that is released slowly throughout the day, like over 8-12 hours. You would know, your bottle would indicate it.

Everyone is doing so well. I was frustrated this morning. I can't seem to get the scale to MOVE. I get stuck for like a week every 5 pounds I lose. First I was stuck at 222, now at 217.5. (I can't believe I so openly tell my weight so many places here lol)

Hoping for at least a little whoosh in the morning. Hey I'll even take 1/2 pound!

Live free-eat cheat free- gonna be my new motto I think.

Did I Cheat?

I feel so guilty. Yesterday I just ate meat all day and planned to have a salad when I went out to dinner. I went to a Mexican fast food place with a bunch of friends. I had never been there before. I ordered a shrimp salad and water. The salad turned out to be rice and beans, not lettuce. I just ate the shrimp and avocado but there was rice stuck to it.

I think I'm too biased to know if I cheated. So you guys decide.

Nawchem, I personally wouldn't count that as a cheat because it's like ranch dressing, you are not supposed to eat sugar but ranch has some and I eat it anyway because the amount is soooo small.

I will have to check my potassium bottle to see if it's SR.

I am back to 130 today, still no cheat but pretty upset. I ate low carb bread for the first time last night and peanuts, and that was after my supper. I have to stop snacking but I couldn't make the bread and then not at least try it.

that is just too cute!

Hello everyone.. Having a good day today. Thought I was comming down with something yesterday. I was weak and tired and just didn't feel like myself. Then last night I was writting down everything I ate (a personal food journal)and I realized I had only had 500 cal. and 8g of carbs. I made some eggs and bacon and I felt worlds better. I just don't feel hungry very often anymore. This is what I ate. Oh btw.. I do eat ranch dressing everyday for lunch but I only have the two tablespoons. I modify Atkins a bit. But I still lose the weight.

Breakfast: cereal bar
Lunch: salad w/ranch and cheese
Dinner:Baked chicken and spinach

Oh well, today I had a bigger breakfast and feel a little better.
Also about the candy I found, deffinately can only have once in a while I wanted to run out to the store and get loads more.

A little long winded today...sorry. Have a healthy day

Nursey your whoosh is coming. I thought that was interesting that you lose 5 pounds then rest for a while. I kind of lose in chunks too. My fitday weight graph is stairs up and down. I just started exercising this week. Hope it will.

Adukart thanks for the permission to keep my cheatfree sign!!! I'm kind of carrying guilt around with me. Shesh.


w82bthin, I've noticed the same thing happening. Whats weird is that my stomach never feels empty I just run out of energy. Wow 500cal though. I've been adding fat to my meals since it keeps my calories up.

Hi everyone!

I slept all the way through the night last night. I can't remember the last time I did that (if I ever did). For most of my life I would wake up every hour. The last few weeks I have had a few 4-hour stretches. Now 8 hours!

Is that a benefit of low carbing?

Why am I still so tired during the day? (This is kinda bugging me, because I read about so many people having all this new energy.

Love this challenge!

Hey everyone jsut and update.... sorry I havent posted as much as i had wanted but I've been pretty busy. It towards the end of day 5 for me!! YAY!!! Day five..stayin alive! Ive been doing reat actually. Ive been excersicing everyday. I tried on a pair of 30 inch waist pants today, and they fit pretty comfortably. (normally it was thighs that were tight) It is still a little tight around the butt area but the things is that if I WANTED to, I could wear them wih a slightly longer shirt and they wouldnt look bad. Things like this keep me motivated. I hope I still have that same motivation come my weigh in day Sat mornin ..hehe!

7 days will be a mini goal cheat free mark for me.
