Hi Everyone-

If you don't know what KISS is...here is the link: KISSing It...

We are going to start Monday...even if you only want to do it for a week, or two weeks, or whatever...please come along for the ride!

Hi Michelle,

I'm here, as you already know I have started KISSing, I sort of started on Monday but since Tuesday have been 100%. Since I weighed on Sunday, I have already lost a little over 2 pounds.

I will post here everyday, can't wait for you to start on Monday, maybe by then there will be a ton of us wanting to KISS.

Will catch you later, everyone have a wonderful day.

Carol

Hi Jennifer and Demi,

Welcome, Michelle isn't going to start until next Monday, I had already started this past Monday and the gal who started the forum changed her mind.

We can post our stats each day if you want to weigh in each day or once a week, just do a copy and paste:

......................start weight.............Goal.....................Current

Patnaude12..........138.0..................128.0....................135. 8

Carol

Hi Michelle,

You are very welcome.

I haven't had coffee or cheese since last weekend , actually I don't drink real coffee anymore, I haven't for years. I do drink decaf, real coffee rattles my nerves.

I really do miss the fat when doing KISS, I love butter, cream, bacon, hot dogs. I usually like to add butter to cooked veggies, just putting spices on just doesn't seem to do the trick.

I hope that I can behave this weekend, weekends are my hardest, I'm sure I will do very well, I am getting so close to goal.

I leave on vacation May 28th, I am driving to Florida to visit my son then on to Texas, I am celebrating my 60th at my brother's house, my two sisters who live on the east coast will be flying in for the party. I always wanted a pool side party, this year I will get my wish (better late than never).

Will catch you all later.

Carol

This is my first ever post... I'm going to join y'all KISSing!

I've been in a stall for what seems like forever(since just B4 the X-mas holiday '03), and I've tried so many things... Fat Fast, L-carnitine, Meat Fast, re-starting induction, re-feeding, ect. I don't lose, get fed up, and give up. As in back to regular lo-carb, with a hopeless feeling binge day thrown in after any given "fast". Though I can quite proudly say I didn't eat a single Cadbury Egg this year, and I was SURE that would get me. LOL

So here I am, hopping on your train for the full month. I've read the KISS page a few times contemplating it. Thinking it would be like the other tries to get my weight on the move(downward) again. If I don't lose I don't know what I'll do! Maybe find a few Cadbury Eggs on sale... hopefully there won't be any left by then.

Hi All,

Welcome flwrfrog, it is one of those things that you don't know if it will work unless you try. To be honest with you, I don't know of anyone who didn't loose on KISS unless they weren't eating exactly what was on the list.

I did excellent as far as KISSing all last week (Monday thru Thursday) but when Friday hit, DH took me out to lunch and that is when I misbehaved. It is very hard to KISS in a restaurant, very little on the menu. It is easy to LC but not KISS. Anyways, I usually have a problem with weekends but I don't have that far to go so it doesn't bother me that much. If I can loose on the weekdays and not gain it back on the weekends then I am ahead of the game.

I think I found this website about a year ago this coming summer, I just love it. There are so many people here to give you support and advice. You can also make some very good friends. We are all here at this website for the same reason and I think that is why everyone is so willing to jump right in and help someone.

Will catch you later.

Carol
