Hi Joann

Congrats on the 12 lb loss cactus!

I'm down 4.8 my first week! I'm pretty happy with that, I misbehaved yesterday, had a few cocktails with a friend and ended up eating off plan, but not too bad, kept it pretty low carb. I go to NY my 3rd week, I hope I can lose there without clinic. I will extend my 4th week to the week after I return.

Hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday!

Started week 6 yesterday - which was also my protein day. As of today, I am down 24.2 pounds. Yes! I am feeling good. Taking it 5 pounds at a time. I hope everyone has a great week!

Bonkers you are doing awesome!

Hubby and I just started our 6th week. I weighed in Monday with a 4.5lb loss! I seriously thought the scale was broken. Hubby was at the same weight as Friday. I had a 1/10 change - but not too worried after the big drop. No change for hubby so he starts Plateau tomorrow *evil laugh*. He WONT do spinach and he can't do grapefruit because it conflicts with medication, so he got some alternative suggestions.

Hi everyone,

You are all doing so good! I will weigh in tomorrow - just doing once as week for now.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Hello All! I'm new here & to LFL. I have a question I hope you can help me with! I'm following the book to the nibble & drinking 80oz water, & began daily exercise... lost 9 lbs in 9 days! But now have a plateau (day 12.) I'm in ketosis most of the time. I started plateau menu yesterday. I cannot force another fish day today :/. I do eat fish, but plain baked white fish is not for me. I read that it can be substituted for chicken. Can anyone confirm this??

I don't see why not, but I don't know for sure

Maybe Joann could help? And welcome

you are doing a great job!!

It doesn't have to be plain. You can add seasoning. Just be sure it isn't something that is salt based. I normally do tuna on a bed of lettuce & spinach for lunch. Tilapia for dinner. Sometimes I'll do shrimp. I've done chicken maybe once out of the three days.

I put myself on plateau Friday. It wasn't suggested since I dropped 4.5lbs when I weighed in on Monday but I was bouncing a few ounces one way and then the other.

Thank you for your help! I've lost 1.5 pounds after 2 days on the plateau diet. It seems slow, but it worked. I sure hope the pace picks up!!

I keep reading about how so few calories will put us in "starvation mode." I'm wondering if that's the problem?!? Thanks for welcoming me to the group...!
