I'm so glad that you said this! I went to doctor awhile ago because of fatigue and she said it was because I wasn't getting in enough protein. At the time I was focusing on my fruits and veggies as well as low carb breads. Anyway, I didn't exactly know why protein was fully needed. Thanks for sharing this Nita. No wonder I was feeling so bad after weight training - yikes!

Congratulations on losing weight left and right Nita!! I'm so happy for you. You deserve this, you've been patient for so long. You are one determined lady!

Day 9 and feel wonderful about yesterday. I wanted popcorn so bad at the movies but didn't get any. Woo hoo! Getting closer to the two week minimum induction time.

It hasn't been asking me to log in Lisa. Hmmm..... might want to send a PM to Goddess to see if she can help or adjust something for you.

I to jump in here to help me through cravings, like now. Popped in a piece of sf gum to have something to chew, got my water to drink and stepping in place while typing. The more things I have to encourage me helps my focus too.

Lisa, it doesn't look as though you ate too much. You are probably just retaining water. Probably from the vienna sausage (I hate those!) Drink plenty of water and it will help flush out the excess.

Keep it up! 2 lbs of water will be gone in no time.

I've lost another 1/2 lb. It's so nice to finally see sustained downward movement, instead of the old YoYo Syndrome.

Woohoo, Lisa! WTG!

Heather, how's the kimkins going?

Heather, you're probably wise to wait to weigh.

I gained 2 lbs of water over the weekend, my ring was tight when it is usually quite loose. I'm down one of those lbs and expect the other to be gone by tomorrow. I'm concentrating on drinking lots of liquids.
