Been a week on Pre-Maintenance-- this is tough!!

Jugo · 04-27-2004, 07:18 PM

Hello everyone!! I started on Pre-maintenance on the 19th of April and I could almost immediatley tell that I was out of ketosis... hunger was more, cravings were more... it has been a long time since I felt like I had little control... candy, cookies, etc that used to sit around at work were never given a second look... now they are given 3, 4, 5 looks and then just a nibble here and there....I did cheat a little a few days but came back strong the next day... In the first week I dropped two lbs, got into size 8's, and officially lost 110lbs... That was a great pick me up!!!

This week seems to be a bit better... still fighting the control of what goes into my mouth... I am sure I can conquer this... I officially have 3 more lbs to go but I think when, yes when not if, I get there I may try for 10 more lbs... I am hoping as the week goes on I will gain more control and hopefully next week the control will be back...

Just wanted to share my pre-maint. experience thus far... if you don't mind I would like to update here each week... just to keep me sane!!

Have a good night!!!

Wow, I'm so impressed with your success. Way to go girl!!

As far as being out of ketosis, just don't think about it. Just continue eating what you know is on plan and you will do fine. It really does get easier. Keep us posted on your progress.

Congratulations Juls! What a great accomplishment!!

I find that I really have to stay away from sugar altogether or I set off cravings and uncontrolled eating. Those little cheats you mentioned might be what is causing to you to feel a little out of control.

You're doing great! Just hang in there and stay on plan and you'll be fine.
