As for me, the scale dropped 4 pounds overnight. I figured the recent gain might have been due to water retention.

I have realized as long as I have sugar free jello I am ok and dont care about the other things in the house and my will power was so bad it was sad lol

Thank you so much I never thought to use prkrinds as a breading for my food. What a great idea. Now that is why I like to read the boards

[Determinedtolose]

Hi Tricia! Confession is good for the soul ain't it!! LOL!! You're doing great!! No sweat!!!


Oh Mary, I hope you're doing well!!

[buddysgirl50]

good morning everyone. It is actually suppose to start warming up here this week. May and still in the low 40's in the morning. Well I did good yesterday although the calorie count was high, and when I weighed in this morning I was up 2 pounds. I am hoping it was water retention from the cornbeef as i know that it can be high in sodium..drinking about 10 glasses of water a day and have given up coffee completely for now and switched to green tea.

Still no change in the Ketosis though

yesterday's meal..
breakfast
2oopsie
1 egg
3 bacon

lunch
3 oopsie
6 tbs eggs salad(3eggs 4 tbsp miracle whip)

supper
8oz cornbeef
1 small turnip cooked with the cornbeef in slowcooker
2 tbsp sour cream
1 oz onions(cooked in slow cooker)
1 oopsie
¼cup saurkraut

snack
2 oz cheese
1 oopsie

[trishdadish]

Thanks Chris, I just wonder if it totally kicks me out of ketosis and then I am afraid that I gained back everything that i have lost lol but yeah no worries let me tell ya it was damn good that ding dong lol

Buddy girl I got a recipe from cleos blog The Lighter Side of Low-Carb she has some great recipies there is also linda's low carb menues if you go to google and type in linda's low carb menues it will be the first one that comes up and she has a great induction menue!
ha see what i have learned from this site its wonderful
good luck to you!

[Determinedtolose]

Hi Buddysgirl, I can almost bet it's just water. No worries!!!

[xbeyondthebeautyx]

Just got back from doctor and he said that either the amoxicillin caused the stomach problem or the virus moved to my tummy. Either way he gace me florastar and protonix and said I should feel better in a few days I have to watch what I'm eating until my stomacg heals up. I am going to try to eat as LC as I can

I hope all of you are well and welcome to any one new

[brymic]

I was bad, too! I did not have a dingdong because we didn't have any-- I probably would have attacked it too! Just corn and milk-- I HAD to have milk or I was going to die. It was so weird- like a pregnancy craving. I had been having a low carb yogurt every day- and haven't this week, so I bet that was why. I'm not getting anywhere near the scale for a few days though!!

Hope everyone had a good start to the week! Here we are getting ready for achievement tests (I homeschool) and then one more week of school and we are done.

Trish- I <3 the breaded porkchop idea, too. I wonder how it would taste on chicken?
Diana- You are so upbeat and make me want to come check in every day! Thanks
Laura- Glad you are on the mend- chicken broth is my favorite when I'm sick.
Everyone else- Have a great Monday...what's left of it anyway- I'm off to get dinner started.

[trishdadish]

brymic,
I have tried it on chicken Its yummy you cut up small nuggets from chicken breasts dip in egg and then you fry it in canola oil they are yummy thats how I figured that it would work with porkchops I think you can bread anything with porkrinds or at least i am going to try lol I bought a bunch of salmon and Im going to try making salmon nuggets or even tuna patty breaded in porkrinds lol
(tho prolly not the most healthy due to all the frying but Id say once a week is alright for a meal idear)\

laura I hope you feel better

Christiana thanks for the kind words about falling off the wagon lol

Diana its always fun to and awesome to be on the site with you here as our mascot

Jen, Sounds like you had a Good Mothers Day

Everyone else happy Monday ugh lol (is it fri yet?)
T:

[xbeyondthebeautyx]

Bry and Trish..............

Thanks a bunch

[Determinedtolose]

Ah, Laura, that's great that you saw your dr! I'm glad you got your medicine changed, I hope this will help you right away!!!
Take care of yourself!!

AhhMichelle, you're too nice!!! You all make this thread!!!

Hi, Tricia, LOL, just call me the LowCarb Spartan, Eww Rah!!!! LOL!!!

[mac24312]

HI!
I am so glad u went back to the doctor and had your medicine changed..i have been on that and it works...I think now Brandon has a sinus infection and I dont feel the best either..its so cold here..only in the 40s and 50s and damp for this time of year and I think we both are getting sick again. I just dont want anything for supper.

And oh my..do I wish it was Friday Trish!! Diana..you are the list mom and I am big sister!! LOL

Oh I hope that is all it is..I got my DANDR 2002 book today so I will read it and see the difference between the 1999 and it. I was going to have the left over cornbeef for supper tonight but I think I will do a couple of chicken tenders instead tonight and maybe make a salad..I can't figure out why I am not in ketosis at all thought like everyone else seems to be. My carb count is well under the 20 carb count every day of the past 8 days of induction. I even gave up the coffee
Oh well I will keep going and hopefully something will give soon as far as the old pee stick goes

[Chrislukey]

Hi guys
Just checking in to see what's up. Moretta you are certainly here fun group of people!!

Tricia man I now what you mean about the ding-dong always was my favorite. Do if you fell off at least it was for a ding-dong (I need a drooling smiley)


Laura- I am so glad you will be getting some relief...take care sweetie

Darleen so happy for your losses that is so awesome G/F.....

Buddysgirl don't worry about those 2 lbs I am sure it is just water!!Also with the sicks I have read on the boards that if you drink lots of water they don't turn so maybe that is the issue for you?

Christina hope you guys aren't getting sick again!

Diana glad you had a good weekend!!!

Well I was op today so far.... I figure about 15 1/2 carbs...Breakfast was 4 slices of bacon 2 eggs coffee
Lunch 20oz. cheese pork rinds chicken strips
Snack sugarfree jello with whip cream
Dinner chicken thighs parmesean and a salad
not hungry now hoping to not eat anymore today.....Maybe a cup of decaf?

[mamaguck]

buddysgirl.....you could be in ketosis. what keto sticks show is any spilled over ketones. I may or may not remember correctly ((fibro fog alert)) but didn't you at one point say the color was faint? If so, any color really will do. You may also want to check later in the evening and see if that changes, or just change your schedule at any rate. When you finally test and at least get a faint color, start testing at that time or vary up around that time...either a little before or a little after the next day.
I am not going to be using the keto sticks. Just one more thing for ME to get discouraged. lol. but, that is JUST ME and MY personality. i have been doing really well abotu staying off the scales until my one week anniversary...whew, it is hard!!! I have been measuring myself almost day tho..haha, which isn't much better. But, i have been noticing the changes. It is TOM so, I don't have much faith in the noticeable weight loss right now. So, if my scales aren't down on weigh in, I am nto going to be too bummed.

and, oh my gosh, plz forgive me for not remembering names. as i said, fibro fog alert. lol. but, someone had mentioned about frying up the foods and it being unhealthy. If you are doing atkins...he actually encouraged more fat to help kick off ketosis and weight loss. I have never been a big fan of grease or anything like tha, but, I have been adding pats of butter to my meat to melt on it to increase my fat intake.

Best of luck to you all...we can do this!
