Finally losing!!

Well, it's finally happening. I'm losing! When I began the week before Thanksgiving I was 185. Yesterday, I was 177! I was also able to fit into some pants that I haven't worn in 6 months. I'm doing my ab-lounge everyday. I am in moderate to heavy ketosis, so my body is doing what it should. It's burning it's own fat. I'm not hungry, not craving anything. The only thing I've had a hard time with is the salad dressings! I'm just not a fat-free dressing person, and Metabolic Research dressing is not that great, but there is not as much in their packages as what I like on my salads. I've started using cider vinegar mixed with olive oil, and a little seasoning to have for the salad. They said that's fine. I'm also going on 13 days now with NO CAFFIENE, and 18 days with no diet cokes/pepsi's, and 10 days with no Diet Rites. I can have diet rites, because they are the only soda with no sodium, no caffiene and made with splenda. But, I'm believing I'm doing better now without them, because my body has no aids at all to digest the food. It has to work itself. Carbonated drinks breakdown the food, and take away the good nutrients. I'm eating better, and so is my husband & son! My husband has kind of gotten back on this no carb thing, and is down 5 pounds in 2 weeks. It's so easy for him to drop off the weight. I have to fight and fight! It's okay though, I'm learning a whole new lifestyle and eating pattern, and loving it so far. Thanks for letting me ramble. I love you guys, and hadn't posted any updates in awhile. I didn't want to start posting and then fail! Sherri

Sherri, that is such good news!!! You are doing great!! Keep it up!!! It is great your hubby and son are getting in on it too.. it makes it easier for you! Yes, it is unfair that men in general tend to lose weight faster then women.. why is that?? I agree about the fat free dressings, I have never been able to tolerate them, there is a sweetness or aftertaste I can't quite put my finger on, but whatever it is YUCK A change in lifestyle is what we all need, it is great uyou have found one that you can follow and enjoy.. that is key to sticking with it You can ramble to us anytime!!! Good or bad, we are always here for you!!! keep us posted Brianna
