My gosh, I hope your friend's son is going to be okay! That must have be really terrifying, and I definitely wouldn't worry about what happened. You made the best of a bad situation and you certainly couldn't drink skim milk for an entire weekend!!
The chutes and ladder post is great as it applies to weight loss. Thank you for posting that, Alisha, it is very helpful.
It sounds like you might be the kind of person who can get into ketosis without the headaches and side effects. I am that kind of person. Starting medifast after eating regular food gives me little or no side effects. You are doing great and those 5lbs will be nothing but a memory soon!
HUGS!
