Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 !! I am sorry your having so much trouble. Maybe you can post your menu for a couple days and some of the " experts " on the list can pick it apart and figure something out. Have you lost any inches? This is definately my WOL, it has kept my blood sugars down nice and low! I may not get off of the 157 mark but at least I will live long and see my kids grow and become sucessful, I guess that is my motivation for stay on this WOL. You may want to try a fat fast, have you tried that yet, it is for people who are very resisitant. It is in the book, page 236-238. This might be something that will get you into ketosis. I know it takes a week for me to get back into it, Also, the hormones from the BC shot could be a culprit too?? Just some stuff to think about. Hope I helped!! Keep up the fight!! You can do it!

Generally, the last 20 pounds will come off the slowest. I have been doing this for 2 months (hormone-impaired too....LOL) and have just reached the 20 pound mark, so I'm not dropping it in lightning speed myself. Have you tried some of the stall busters, like and all-meat day or the fat fast? Those have helped some on the list kind of get into gear. And, there are tons of recipes floating around to make it more bearable. Did you get the post for scalloped cauliflower? I made it on Saturday, and it was soooo good! Anyway, I'm rambling now..... just hope you'll give this w.o.e a little longer. YOU CAN DO IT!!! And, of course, we're here for you.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Hi, everyone. I took the last train to Lurkville, but I need to get back into the swing of things. I've been on this WOE for 5 weeks now. I've allowed myself one big fat cheat day, but other than that, I've been true blue faithful. I've lost 2 pounds. And that was during my first two weeks. Since then, nothing. I've been at an induction level of carbs since I started -- anything more immediately put me out of ketosis. I think I'm just one of the unlucky ones whose body is especially sensitive to carbs. I gave up the caffeine. Didn't budge. Gave up the daily Atkins bar -- no change. Even gave up the SF Jello! Nada. Tried more carbs, less carbs, going off plan, exercising more, exercising less...you name it. During my Induction, I had a pretty easy time getting into ketosis -- and staying there. Not anymore. After my two week induction period, I went to the doctor for my Depo-Provera injection. That's birth control that is delivered via injection every three months. Since then, I can't get back into ketosis at all -- I got nothing but a wet stick. I'm frustrated and ready to give up. Could use some encouragement today. I'm trying SO hard, and I keep telling myself that if I just stay the course, I'll be rewarded, but it's so hard to resist my cravings when I'm not being rewarded for being good. Right now, if I am to stay on this program, I think I must focus on accepting this as a WOL, and just stop getting on the scales. Right now my weekly weigh-ins aren't encouraging me to continue. Sorry this post is so long, but I know that if anyone can encourage me and help me through this, it's you guys. Thanks.... in Atlanta 150/148/130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
