OMG I am WHOOSHING off pounds this week!

[DixieDreamer]

I cannot believe it... I never get visited by the WHOOSH fairy... but this week the pounds are just FLYING off! Get this -

Tuesday the 15th - down a 1/2 pound
Wednesday the 16th - down a whopping 2 and 1/2 pounds!
Thursday the 17th - another 1/2 pound down
Today the 18th - down 1 and 1/2 pounds!

That makes a total of 5 lbs down in 4 days! Holy Cow! I have followed KISS before for short periods of time... but never with dramatic results like this. I must have just been ready to lose.

Only 3 more pounds to my goal! WOOHOO!

GO! GO! GO!

I have a question about KISS - and maybe you could pm me as well as post here since I won't be around for a week and I'll never find this thread after that much time. I hit plateaus all the time - the last time I used the Fat Fast and next time I'd like to use KISS - how long do you recommend using it to break a plateau? And do you go backto induction after you're done? I think othrs here would like to know, too. If you want to just start a new thread anwering this it might be helpful, but, please pm me!

Karyn - sent you a PM - but here is the answer for others if they are interested:

In the past I have done KISS for the weekdays then gone back to my normal "OWL" eating over the weekend. That worked reasonably well and was pretty easy to manage. However, right now I am pushing to get the last pounds off to goal... so I have been KISSing straight through the weekend. I plan to keep that up until I go on vacation on the 29th of this month - and then just try to eat induction during my vacation...KISSing and traveling are problematic from my past experiences.

Woo-hoo!!! I love that you are KISSing with so much success! ha ha! Way to go! I bet you are just trembling with excitement! That is awesome. I JUST KNOW NEXT WEEK YOU WILL BE SPORTING THAT RED GOAL CLIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kabuli1]

Thanks for being so quick to answer me! I'll probably give it a try as soon as I get back from traveling this week!

Congrats on the great loss! That is so excellent!

[BethR]

WOW! Super loss DD!

Now, can you explain KISSing to me? (And you KNOW what I mean! )

 

[bunnyfoo]

Wow! That's awesome! Congrats on the excellent weight loss

 

[MelanieC]

Way to go! That is so awesome!

Beth - ROFL at your reply about explaining what KISSing is! I was thinking the same thing.

Please explain in more detail. I assume it's Atkins related, as I know the Fat Fast is. I have been trying to eat less carbs even on WW.

[BethR]

Melanie.

Now if someone would just TELL us what KISS means.

 

[RaySharpton]

Congratulations on your weight loss.

Exactly who and how long have you been kissing to lose all that weight...lol.

 

[CrzyforPiglet]

Wow I thought I was the only one who didn't know what KISSing was - huge congratulations Laura on your accomplishments!!! It must be so motivating to work so hard and see those results - good luck on reaching your goal!

 

[CathyCanada]

Laura, that is awesome, congratulations!!!!!

Another here who is curious what KISS is (Keep It Simple Stupid, is the only one I know) and OWL too!
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Well ... down ANOTHER pound this morning... makes 6 lbs lost this week!

KISS is Keep It Simple Sweetie!

It is essentially Atkins Induction on Steroids! LOL! Seriously it is basically Atkins Induction except you cut out the "extras" and items that are known to potentially cause problems.

No dairy (no cream, cheese, butter since it is all fat is okay)
No Artificial Sweetners (not even splenda)
No nuts
No Processed Foods (this means no bars, shakes, sausages or bacon or anything that has been "manufactured", no manufactured salad dressings)

You eat meat that has been prepared by yourself, veggies from the approved list for induction, and enough oil/fats to cook and serve your food. Essentially good oils such as olive oil, butter, and homemade mayo is okay.

The one difference from induction that KISS has - is that you eat what you want of the veggies - no limits. The reason this is ... is that without cheese, pkts of sweetner, and cream - you gain alot more carb allowance... and you use it on veggies! It really is a very satisfying way to eat.

Here is a link to my fitday journal... you can scroll back through the week and get an idea of what I have been eating... I record EVERYTHING in fitday.

Here is a link to a great website that explains KISS much better than I just did!

Thanks for the support everyone. I hope those who are holding or struggling give this a try for about a week - you might be suprised what a difference it can make.

 

[BethR]

Thanks for the explanation DD! That sounds simple to me. I think that doing that would be a nice change of pace to be able to eat unlimited "legal" vegetables - and anything to get a little "boost" in weight loss would be great!

I am going to check out the link to the KISS information and see if they tell you when it is appropriate to "KISS."
