What is this being able to see your feet BS? I haven't seen my feet over my boobs since I was like 18. Maybe they'll shrink.

Is anyone else having trouble losing with artificial sweeteners?
I've tried stevia 'in the raw' and Splenda and I worry it's stalling my weight loss. I tried the Stevia but it worried me (almost no loss in 3 days) so I then went to the Splenda. I thought Splenda was recommended for Atkins? I'm not overdoing it, just one or two packets a day. I've also been drinking homemade caffeine free unsweetened iced tea. Could it be because I've slightly lowered my water intake (I was at, or slightly over, the daily recommended allowance). I know you're not supposed to count caffeinated or sugary drinks as water, but this is just decaf unsweetened iced tea. I drink 1 to 3 glasses a day, over ice.

Just spoke with my husband. He's going to hide the scale until Monday. We decided it's not a good idea for me to be weighing daily.. I should be psyched I've lost 9 lbs. in the last week, not upset that I've only lost half a pound in 2 days. Monday will be 14 days on Induction. I'm also wanting to eat like this for life, so obsessing about the weight loss isn't the smartest thing to do.

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)

losing 1.8 lb a week
18 May 2009
Did well this weekend. I did eat five pieces of popcorn at the movies, but it didn't screw up my ketosis. I am hoping to get down to 270 even by Saturday. I think I can do that-- I've already done 7.5 in one week; I can do 5.5 in 5 days. I know my first big goal is 250 by then end of summer, but I'm really hoping I can do it by my husband's birthday in mid-July. That's only about 2 1/4 lbs. a week. I just need to keep reminding myself that as long as I stay on the diet it'll work-- it's when I fall off that it's stops working. The diet doesn't fail; I do.
Weird stuff happening down below. I thought I might be ovulating about 7 days ago. I've been spotting for about the last three days.. not super heavy, but heavier than I would expect from implantation bleeding. I read that some women with PCOS started getting 'periods' again on a low-carb diet, but don't always ovulate. I know some women have anovulatory periods, but I never had-- if I don't ovulate I don't get a 'period' until I induce one. Anyway, so
I probably haven't ovulated, but I think even an anovulatory period is promising, seems to me that means my hormones are changing.
I kind of hope it is an anovulatory period-- if it's an ovulatory period and I was ovulating when I thought I might be, then I have a super-short luteal phase, which would not be good. The other possibility is that after I quit soda 2 weeks ago even that drop in sugar and carb intake as drastic enough to induce ovulation. Oh well, either way I find the spotting promising. *crossing fingers* that I'll get a period, ovulatory or not(I'll never know), and then ovulate soon. Interestingly I was reading lately that a uterine lining of 35+ days may not be healthy enough for an embryo to implant, but I hadn't had a period in 4 mo. when I got pregnant the last time. I haven't induce a 'period' in 2 mo., so I was going to induce anyway if I didn't get one soon; hoping I won't have to.
Still feeling really great. I started drinking decaffeinated tea this weekend and am a little worried I'm not getting as much water now, though. I picked up some Stevia sweetner today and it's okay.. I'm wondering if it's worth trying another brand to see if it's better. Unfortunately it still has that weird, bitter, 'I'm not real sugar' taste. I tastes kind of like Equal but not as chemically. I kind of wish I'd gotten some Splenda too-- I really liked just a touch of it in my tea at the restaurant the other night. I usually don't like Splenda, though, and think it's a bit the devil. I'm hoping the Stevia will taste better in my home-brewed tea rather than the bottled Lipton I had at lunch. A girl in my class at school today had cookies for her birthday, and I so wanted one, but stayed good. I thought for a split second about 'just having one' and then in the next second, though 'no way in hell I'm cheating for a freaking
cookie
. I don't plan on cheating soon, but I know eventually I'll want a treat and it's sure as hell going to be something amazing, not a POS grocery store cookie!
