Doing okay. Following the diet closely, but not really losing much. I don't think I'm going to make my Saturday goal. I guess I can give it until Monday, though, since that's technically 2 weeks because I started on a Monday. I'm doing fine, but would like the weight loss to step up a bit. I have been drinking a lot of caffeine free iced tea and using a Stevia supplement with a miniscule amount of glucose in it the last few days (less than a gram), and only having 0.5-1.5 servings a day. I had hoped that was at least better than the one with maltodextrose and 3 grams of carbs per serving. I know from other Stevia supplements I've seen online that there are carb-free ones, though. So, whether it's the tea, the sweetener, or the fact that I'm not getting quite as much water now, I don't know, but I'm going to cut out the tea and the sweetener for the next 3 days or so and see if there's a difference. Better to learn how to deal with a plateau early on, I suppose. Ketostix still reading maximum ketosis.
My body still has weird things going on.. I'm still spotting, and slightly heavier, but not what I'd call a period.
My husband is not following the diet, but has lowered his carbs and is looking a little thinner. He's been reading the book and wants to try Induction, but isn't ready yet. I'm trying not to push him because I know you need to make that decision for yourself. He only needs to lose about 10-15 lbs (180), but could stand to lose another 10 on top of that (170).
Saw my brother last weekend-- he's down -75 lbs. on Weight Watchers!! He actually weighs less than me now (talk about motivation.. ugh)
