Lowcarbfriend

I just came from an amazing totally locarb dinner from Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse – it’s located in NJ, PA & NY. They have a new item on the menu that’s perfect for my woe. It’s called Parmesan Crusted Chicken and it’s lc and gluten free. They don’t dredge it in flour (I asked the mgr); just egg wash and parm cheese, then they sautee it. It comes with a lemon butter sauce and diced fresh tomatoes. For a side dish I had spinach sauteed with garlic.

I’ve been low carbing now for two weeks and have lost 10lbs (220 -210, 5′6).

This is great and I’m very happy with the weight loss. BUT today was my second weekly recording of my weight on Fitday and I was excited to take my measurements to see how many inches I’d lost – NONE

Except for half an inch on my neck, which I think is probably due to some measurement error, I haven’t lost a single inch (or even part of an inch).

I’m feeling a bit (well quite a bit actually) disappointed – but also puzzled as to how 10lbs lost makes absolutely no difference to my size.

How did other people find weight lost corresponds with inches lost? Is there an explanation for what is happening here?
Thanks, Anne

I think it’s been almost a year since I’ve stepped on a scale. So I broke down and ordered one. It’s scheduled to arrive in 6 days and I’m glad I have those extra days to shed a few more lbs before I step on.

I hate the scale!

to drink my water today. I got so busy trying to get my ebay stuff all shipped out that I forgot to drink my water.
How’s everybody else doing with their water intake today??

So, as you may recall, I had my cheat day on Saturday. Rather, my cheat meal. A individual sized cheese pizza, and a handful of swedish fish. I felt so awful and sick.

What is the most shocking to me, is that I haven’t had cravings. I have candy corn, and other candy sitting around in my condo (gifts from my Mom). Personally, I am totally shocked that I haven’t binged on it, but I just have no desire to eat it.

I have noticed that my appetite is a bit larger, and realized that I am possibly eating too many calories, which I am working on getting lower… but, it’s so darn hard.

Has anyone else had this? You just feel so sick after that cheat that the food doesn’t even appeal to you? Maybe the whole weighing 132.0 on Sunday was a kick in the butt too. I weighed 129.5 on Saturday morning, and 130.0 today, so I’m getting back down. But realized my goal is only 9.5 lbs away, and how sick I felt, those sugary/carby foods just don’t seem appealing!

Im was put on insulin today and have heard that its hard to lose weight or possibly even gain? Anyone have any idea?
