I am on the Dr. Bernstein diet however I am doing it myself. Both my Mother and brother have done it themselves and have kept the weight off and made significant lifestyle changes. I have been doing a written journal as well. Today is my fifth day, and I feel so good. I have more energy than before I started and I feel happy. Yesterday I weighed myself and I had already lost 7 lbs. I tested a ketostix and im in moderate fat burning. :blush5:

I will update regularly.
Good luck to you all! :angel:
 
Discouraged... a bit.

So I woke up feeling a little discouraged this morning, but I am not going to let that get me down. Today I want to get a workout in & clean the house amongst all the other things I need to do. I just keep telling myself 2 more days!! I started the diet on Monday June 9th so I plan on weighing myself again on Monday June 16th. That will be officially be a week. This morning the color of my ketostix wasn't as dark, so it makes me a little upset, but I hear it doesn't matter as long as it changes color. The neat thing now is that I am no longer cold all the time or hungry. Yesterday I had trouble eating a couple times because I never feel hungry anymore, but I made sure I at least got my protien down. Anyways I got my best friend's burthday party tonight (at a club/lounge) and I would feel awful if I didn't go, so I decided I would go for a bit just to make an appearance and what not and then leave lol. So we will see how that goes. :ack2:
Will update later.

Hmm...

So I test my ketosis first thing in the morning, every morning. This morning it was back down to trace/small. :banghead: So my boyfriend told me not to panic, just weigh myself and see if I lost weight since that is what matters. So I weighed myself and I have lost 2 more pounds! :rolleyes: Last night I only stayed at the club for about an hour and I wasn't tempted at all, so I am very proud of myself. I will update later!

Once again..

So today is officially one week! My ketostix reading is still the same & I have lost 2 more pounds! But.. I am starting to feel paranoid. I don't know how to explain this but I feel like I need a new scale because it is lying to me and I am getting my hopes up. I hate my scale because I feel like it is somehow inaccurate. :cry: It sounds really silly, I know. Anyways... according to the scale im at 188.0. Oh & of course it is that time of the month. Does anyone find you gain weight during this time, or that weight loss slows? I feel like crap. :(

I don't mean to scare you, but I just bought a new scale (I knew mine was off by about 2 lbs) and I stepped on it and it was 4 LBS OFF IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. I am 143 not 139!!!! It's frustrating but if it were lying to you, then the weight you've lost is from having a heaving start weight. That weight loss is still a weight loss.
 
If you think your scale is lying to you -perhaps it's in your best interest to forget about it for a while and focus on your new habits and use measurements and how your clothes are fitting as a guide... the number on the scale is just that - a number...
 
Hey
I haven't been on here in a couple of days been soo busy!! Anyways thanks for the posts Adeon and Maleficent. I weighed myself on another scale and mine is off by a couple pounds, but that doesn't really bother me because like Adeon said it's still showing my weight loss correctly. I am still in moderate with my ketostix and I weighed myself again this morning and I am down to 187.0, so I have lost 12 lbs already.
I am almost at my first weight loss goal! :jump:
Thanks for the support!

Ahh........

Hey I haven't been on here in a couple days once again. I am very sad to say I had a MAJOR slip up :mad: and thus and have kicked my body out of ketosis. Before this however my last weigh in had me at 184.5 so I had lost 14.5 pounds. I have been very depressed these last couple days and very dissapointed at myself. I was almost at my first goal!! But I have decided I am not going to let this get to me, shit happens and I am going to get back on it tomorrow. I don't plan to weigh myself because I have probably gained a couple, but I will test a ketostix in three days and see how it is. I am determined and don't want to slip up again. Plus a girlfriend wants to start jogging together 3 times a week. Plus I really want a wii fit! Has anyone used Wii fit and seen results by any chance? Or does it just tone more so? Or does it do anything? I am curious. I am in College and going to the Gym is free but I am so embarrassed I can't get myself to go. Maybe once I lose some more, I will have the confidence to do so. Anyway I am having a very rough day, but I am excited for tomorrow. Its suprising how going back to my old ways already, made me feel sick. Like I literally felt sick to my stomach and disgusted with myself after I ate quite a bit of chocolate and Crispers... :piggy:
Anyways I will update most likely in 3-4 days!!
