Default I almost quit!

I was so frustrated - a whole week that went like this:

Sun 162
Mon 161
Tues 161
Wed 162
Thurs 162.5
Fri 162.5
Sat 162.5
Sun 162.5
Mon 162.5
Tuesday 162.5
Wed 163

Then TOM started tonight. ROTFL!

What was weird was I "felt" thinner! But the scale didn't show any change. So now I'm going to hang in there another week and see what happens. I REALLY love this WOE! I also like that I'm so full and satisfied after eating my big balanced dinner, that I don't crave a bedtime snack anymore, and I feel so much better going to bed with my stomach empty (but not growling). I sleep better too.

There have been times when I did have my size/shape change without a loss per the scale...go by how you feel and how your clothes feel...maybe boycott that scale for a bit

I weighed in today at 160.5!! I just can't believe this is working - but it is!

I'm SO happy I found this "diet." I knew I needed desperately to continue with low carb in order to lose the rest of my weight, but regular low carb was just so hard to stick to, so I was constantly failing.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, green pepper, scrambled

Lunch - baked fish in sesame seed oil and green beans w/butter

Dinner: Beef roast w/broth, 1/4 (dry) steel cut oatmeal w/ 1/2 banana, green beans w/butter, small salad w/mayo, 1 oreo cookie.

I've noticed my need for "super junky" carbs is less the last few days (hence the oatmeal instead of cake or noodles).
