Hi Tashi told you I'd get around to it.

Day 4 and down another pound to 148! I'm surprised how quickly this is coming off. I'm wondering what my 2 wk induction total will be. My first time, weighing a lot more than when I started this time, was 11 lbs. So far I'm down 8.6 pounds.

Meal plan:

B: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 sausage patty, coffee with 1 Tbsp. heavy cream
s: celery with cream cheese
L: hamburger patty with 1 slice cheese melted on it, raw broccoli w/ranch dip, spinach salad, diet A&W rootbeer
s: hb egg
D: grilled chicken breast, green beans w/butter, mixed greens salad w/1 Tbsp. ranch dressing, coffee-black
Bedtime: cup of Sleepytime herbal tea (having a harder time falling asleep)

Day 5 and I'm feeling amazingly Good! Down another 1/2 pound to 147.5 for a total of 9.1 pounds gone. Can't believe I was holding on to that much water and I'm feeling so nice and slim already.

This time around I'm eating a higher % of fat than I did before and I'm wondering if that is contributing to my feeling good and losing quicker this time around.

So far my eating plan for today is:

B: 2 fried eggs, 3 sm. sausage links, coffee w/heavy cream
S: hb egg and celery
L: Lg. mixed green salad w/chopped up egg, a little tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 tomato and full fat ranch dressing, coffee with heavy cream
S: diet orange soda with 1/4 c. heavy cream in blender with ice
D: grilled hamburger patty w/slice cheese, broccoli w/ranch dip, spinach salad with ranch, diet soda
bedtime: cream w/cocoa and splenda

*100 oz of water spread throughout the day

Starting to exercise today and will be taking a 2 mile walk as soon as hubby is out of the show and can watch our toddler and baby. Later I'm going to try out the new T-Tapp DVDs I just got. I've read so many great things about T-Tapp and can't wait to try it.

You're doing Awesome!!!

[TresBella]

I surpassed my first mini-goal of 145 - I'm 143.5 pounds this morning - down 2 lbs!!! So far a 13.1 pound loss in 8 days - unbelievable to me. I'm trying to figure out why I'm losing more, faster this time around at a much lower starting weight than the last time and it's got to be that I was hold way more water after my baby than I thought.

Meals for today:

B: 2 fried eggs, 2 link sausage, coffee w/heavy cream
s: diet orange soda w/cream blended w/ice
L: BLT using large lettuce leaves to hold it together
s: hb egg - 1 or 2
D: grilled salmon and salad
bedtime: cocoa and cream mixture

For exercise today I'm doing a 2 1/2 mile walk and T-Tapp instructional 1. Not so sore today

Hi Talia,

I just read through your journal. Thanks for posting it to share your journey. Your quick loss is great! I am having trouble right now with a bit of a stall, so I think your posts have helped me to see that I really need to force myself to eat some food at breakfast...not just coffee.
I find with Ketosis I am just not hungry...especially in the am.

Peace
