Hello Olivia, Your ribs sound soooo good. I want some. I have been hovering around 170-172 for about a week now but in all honesty I have not been trying too hard to stick to anything. I started again last Monday but at the same time stopped having my glass of wine everyday and have not smoked... Talk about a triple whammmyyy... Induction, no wine and quit smoking. Anyway I 'm suprised it has gone so well. Today I had 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 ounce of raisins(I know but was hungry and didn't bring enough food to work) 1 ounce almonds and a hamburger patty with cheese. Dinner tonight will be grilled chicken on romaine with blue cheese dressing. I also drank a gallon of water so far but that is not unusual because I love water and thats all I drink. Your food looks good so far, just keep posting and stay focused. You can do this, it gets easier after the first couple of days. We can help each other stay on course.

[misslatte]

Hope your day goes well! I should boil up some eggs for snacks too, super convenient.

Hello gorgeous. How have you been?

[MissG]

Hi Huney how are ya!!! Im so happy to see you here!! Im doing better now.....Hows life been treating you??



Ladies.....last night I wrote a big ol' post...but seeing how LCF posts POOOOOF and dissapear at the wrong hit of a button...I was irriatated and did not feel like typing again.

Well that and I think I had the "FLU" big time yesterday. I was cranky, I had a headache, My body was sooooo agitated....and when that happened....I closed the laptop and walked away. Then to make things more annoying was the fact that as much as was tired, I could not sleep. I took a melatonin at 1130 last night which helped until 130am then I was awake til 4am. Falling asleep after a hot mug of sleepytime.

Well Day 3 of Induction....Feeeling WAYYYYYYYYYYY better!

also..down from 262.2 on Monday to 258.4 today!!! YAY!!! Its been a few weeks since Ive seen 258 lol.....So yes Im happy. One 1lb at a time.......

Off to eat my late breakfast/lunch......omelett and bacon w/avo. or maybe left Taco salad from last night not sure yet...but I will be back to post later.

Glad youre feeling better MissG! And woo hoo on the weight loss! yay!!!!

UGH. I hate that! I cant tell you how many times ive wrote a HUGE post and then POOF, gone. I get grrr too! (lol)

I take Melatonin too - it works really good when I need help sleeping. What mg do you take?? My doc wanted me to take Ambien (I work shift work being a PD Dispatcher) and i told him i didnt want to, so he suggested melatonin since its natural. WOW, what a difference!

[MissG]

the melatonin is a 3mg but I half it and work up to a whole if I need to. If I take a whole 3mg at once and havent taken it in awhie I have very wierd dreams....lol.

Ive been taking it a few years, and your probably NOT going to believe this... but if the shift is REALLY off and I have to be back to work in 7 hours, and CANT sleep... Ive taken 5mg, even 10mg before! (10 is the highest they sell that ive seen). But that makes sense.. hmm... now i know why my dreams have been odd lately, LOL!

[MissG]

really, it goes that high????? I thought 3 was the highest?? Omigosh if I took a 5mg I would be gone!!!! I thought 3 was alot....well maybe it just puts me in that zone of wanting to close my eyes.....a 5mg would just make my eyes close....lol. Honestly though...last night I almost took a full 3 and still it only knocked me out for an hr n half.

Yes maam They sell in 1mg, 3mg, 5mg, and 10mg. I think the only reason ive had to go that high is bc of how long ive been taking it... ugh. shoulda stopped while i was ahead, LOL Im glad you found something that helps you sleep!

[misslatte]

How was your day today MissG?

[MissG]

Can melatonin cause weight stalls/wieght gain? I figured today i would do a weigh in since i havent weighed since wednesday. I have been OP all week.....drinking at least 70 oz of water not including teas and coffee. Yesterday I did an egg and meat day. I also had flaxmeal faux french toast on thursday night for dinner.

I am back up to 262.4

I for sure thought I would of had a loss.....but a gain...Im really not happy about this right now...but im wondering if takin melatonin tues, wedn,thurs and last night has something to do with it. I just cant sleep and it has helped me.

I dont have a measuring tape right now so there as no way for me to do measurements....All my clothes are looosy stretchy clothes so theres no gaging whether they feel different cause they dont......TOM is not due for another 2 weeks or so....so its not that.....Im just confused. I really am.......I for sure should of had a great loss for the week bieng that im on induction....this is really wierd. Im just gunna continue on......and instead of weighing once a week or or every few days I will do it daily so that I can see my progress and to help me stay accountable. This super suxxxxx................

[MissG]

I did make chicken soup out of natural homemade chicken stock seasoned with only sea salt, pepper, garlic and onion . I then added shredded chicken and made and egg drop soup out of it. I had that on wednesday and thursday afternoon.

Then out of the remaining shredded chicken thighs I made a small buffalo chicken casserole made of cream cheese, franks red hot and blue cheese crumbles.

Maybe tooo much salt??? I only use seasalt to taste if any.....but franks red hot is salty and I only had a few heaping tbls of that. on thursday. The significant other really liked it.

Im really confused........

maybe it is too much salt.......

hey girlie, no the melatonin wouldnt cause weight gain unless your sleeping too much (lol) and not moving or doing anything... umm... im thinking maybe salt to be honest with you. are you still drinking alot of water?? it could be water weight or your bloated from the salt. are you maybe close to TOM? I always gain before from being bloated... hmmm. it sounds like your staying OP so those are the only things i can think of?

Hope youre having a great weekend!

PS - that buffalo chicken casserole sounds yummmmm!

*just read your two weeks away from TOM from post before. Hum. Yeah Id say salt / water.

[jessienevins0314]

PSS (lol) - DONT get discouraged! Youre doing so well! Im glad your continuing on... that's awesome of you and im glad youre in the mindset! Dont make the same mistake I did bc I just ended up gaining 15 lbs back .

[misslatte]

Salt can definitely contribute, Frank and I aren't the best of pals sometimes (but it's sooooo good!!!) Is the melatonin helping you sleep? I think that's one of my issues right now - not enough sleep (or not enough good sleep).

How was your weekend? Do anything fun?

Melatonin is amazing! Ive been using it on and off for years... it really really helps me!

(and I agree - Frank is wonderful... lol)
