What do I think of the induction food list??....I think it is perfectly fine and works for alot of people...The reason it doesnt work for me is that I do not like hardly any veggies and therfore it doesnt work...I also have learned recently that if my meals are strict, easy and basic, meat, cheese, eggs I do much better and lose best...When I try a new recipe or add in things, I stall which is what has happened lately...I lost most of my weight between 2/1 and 4/12 and then hit a stall....I still think I am losing inches, but the pounds are at a stand still...

I am glad you have decided to not cheat....A little treat, a bite or 2 is ok..Dont totally deprive yourself...But doing what I did, a cheat day was a mistake for me and really set my body up and it took me 3 days of hell to get back on track,,,I have not yet paid for it on the scales, but like gwen said my mind and cravings played havoc on me...

Yesterday and today its been clean and strict and i am back on track...I am also working on increasing my calories...Last night we did my bmr calculations and i should be getting 1738 calories a day so my body will not go into starvation mode..I am usually not even hitting 1000 calories...I am going to try to increase my calories, but still keep my carbs below 5....this will hopefully get my loss going again

I hope all is well with everyone...HAPPY FRIDAY>>

LOSERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YOU WILL BE DOWN MORE BY THEN...and you will be smokin hot...to bad its not the end of june and your not going to be up closer,,,our anniv is the end of june and we will be in st louis and we caould both be strutting... ..look out Missouri here we are... shaking our bon bons....

Wait what? I thought you were in your late 20s. Were you a child bride?

Me?? I am 42 years old. lol I married when I was 19.

Still going strong on day 6. I can't wait to weigh in on Sunday. I finished today at 10 net carbs. I have been so busy today I had a 6:30 nail appointment for my daughters prom tomorrow and did not get home until 9:00 ( we live 5 min. away so it was not the drive) I was livid and there air was not working and it was like a sauna in there. Tomorrow I have hair and make up to do thank God I don't have to pay someone else to do that (former cosmetologist). So hopefully it all goes smoothly ( will be taking my xanax as soon as my eyes open). We're meeting her date at a lakeside park to take some pics and then home to clean up our mess and then the rest of the house. I just hope I can find time to eat. lol. Well hope everyone is being a loser and I will check back in tomorrow that is if I survuve it

Gwen, you don't look it!! And congrats!!!

I hope things went well and I hope your weigh in was a success and you are a BIG LOSER....you have done greattttttttttttttttttttttttt our new friend

OMG Gwen

What is your secret. I would have guessed you at no older than 20. Good luck to you on your WOE. Do you do mostly M&E like Stacy?

Well it's day 7 and I finished the day at 17 carbs. Tomorrow is the big weigh in I hope to see good results. Regardless I still plan on doing a clean induction for my 2nd week just to see if there is a difference in my weight loss. I will not cry if I don't see big results this is a learning process for me. I will learn and lose as I go along and win in the end. There ain't no stoppin this fat girl. I have never been this determined and I refuse to give up no matter how many bumps are in road or how many mountains I have to climb.I am absolutely exhausted I spent 4 hours doing my daughters hair and make-up for prom.When she put her dress on I cried (she is not a girly girl) so to see her all dressed up with the make-up and hair she looked like a little princess. And yet another one of those milestones that reminds me my baby girl is now a young lady. Now instead of going to bed like I am so ready for I have to wait up for my litttle Cinderella. Well I will check back in tomorrow....for the weigh in wish me luck. I want to thank everyone on here for there help and support I appreciate it more than you know. I love all my loser friends.

Not to be to personal, but it she your only child??.... i know all about those milestone moments..Our one and only child is 13 and every first milestone I cry...Hard to accept that he is growing up..He sent me at Christmas to buy a gift for a girl, I had tears in my eys the whole time...Last night I finally met her....I am sooooooooo not ready for him to get his heart broke one day....

I hope you see great results tomorrow...Even if the scales dont show what you want, rememeber these things....how your clothes are feeling,,,how you are feeling etc...sometimes the scales ae our worst enemy, i can attest to that,,,,Me and my scales are currently divorced

We are here to support you no matter what and with your determination and our support we can all do this..talk to you tomorrow and have a wonderful mothers day

Thank you ljsmom. No she is my oldest she will be 16 in October. I also have another girl who will be 13 in July and my little man who will be 11 in November. So I have MANY milestones ahead as well as tears. I think being a Mother is the most amazing beautiful gift that God can give but with that gift comes joy and heartache. I too wish you a wonderful Mothers Day !!! Oh and I hope you and your scales will make-up but remember it's him not you.

Well today is the big day...weigh in...the results...9 pounds lost . I am happy as a clam with that. I finished today at 20 carbs. I am really going to try and lower my carbs this week. I think I am doing a great job so far, like I said this is a learning process. So a 9 pound loss makes me happy.Well I will check back in tomorrow good luck to you all and happy losing.
