Hi everyone!

Today is day 12 and I have lost 9 lbs. Note to all women - don't freak out if you don't lose much around "that time of month." (sorry, boys!) The first 6 days I had lost 7 lbs. and when I got on the scale on day 12, I was kinda surprised that I'd lost only an addl. 2 pounds. But you know...our monthly "you know what" has a huge bearing on things...so I'm going to expect things to even out more after this week. However, 9 lbs. is still awesome in 12 days - whoopie!

I even survived living for 4 days with my parents in their tiny motor home! In a home that size. when people eat - there's NOWHERE ELSE TO GO! But I held firm - shockingly. They were very very supportive which helped.

I have to say too...that my energy is amazing! Once I slid into day 7 or so, I stopped feeling stir crazy about eating for the most part. I feel like I now just expect the shakes and don't really even think much about any other food options. Must be ketosis, huh?

That's it - just checking in. Keep up the great work, everyone! You are all awesome!

Shawna,

great job, 9 pounds way to go! I was wondering about TOM because like I told Dee I can gain 5 lbs easily. Best of luck

Keep going downward!

Great job Shawna!

I have posted more than once here about "Aunt Flo" and how she hinders my weight loss. The good thing is...a day or two after she's gone, I have a big weight drop. Happened to me about a week ago, in fact.

Yes ladies, we can survive it...and even thrive!!

Hey girls!
I'm glad you brought up "that time of the month" because " that time of the month" just started for me yesterday. I told myself, "even if you've been doing well on the program, don't get upset if the scale goes up a little right now." I usually always gain around 6-8 lbs. of water weight during this time of the month, then when it's over my weight drops alot. Well to my surprise my weight has stayed the same! I couldn't believe it. For me that's great because I usually gain so much during this time. I think it might be that drinking all the water is helping to flush the excess water that I usually retain during this time. Keep up the good work everyone. Bye...

:puke: YUK Rory!

Those aren't words we like to discuss I'm gone too wait up Jeanette

[shawna]

Alright, alright...you have NO idea how I regret referring to "Aunt Flow." Listen guys...with all the burps and other alarming gastric noises that emanate from your gender...you can certainly handle a reference or two about women's stuff!

Haha.
I'll never bring it up again...promise!

Naaaah. I think we should make a 'women's stuff' room, and the guys can have an 'alarming body noises' room. What do you think?

[shawna]

And the guy's alarming body noises room can be filled with lots of air fresheners, lit candles, and "bean-o!" Hahahaha. I kill me.

Sadly, my own nephew can burp the entire alphabet. He should be on Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks.
