And you would think being nurses in a healthcare setting there would be more healthy food. But no, we are bigger junk food junkies than anyone. I guess no one gets excited about a veggie platter
I suppose it could be because your energy levels raise with the sugar. Although the crash can be spectacular....
It was just a quarter of a strawberry but I was just surprised that is was so automatic .
Anyway I weighed my self today and these are the stats
So it is day three of phase 1 and I am doing well, one little slip up. I was making strawberry shortcake for my husband and after I mixed the sugar with the strawberries I just popped one in my mouth without even thinking of it.

Hope everyone has a great day
. Just try to hold out after P1 is over. You got 11 more days to go. Hang in there!
I'd be happy with 4-5.
Day 2 on SB for myself and my daughter.
My sad story is: I was a Weight Watcher at goal for 5 years! Then I moved to Orlando and I gained 13 pounds. Lost around 8 on WW and then it just kept moving up or not moving at all. DD needs to lose more weight than I do, and I figure if I do all the cooking and packing of food, we can do this together. I would ideally like to lose 10 pounds.
Chinese food??? I made "Chinese food" last night. DD doesn't like cabbage -- but she doesn't realize what's in egg rolls is cabbage and she loves egg rolls. A little EVOO in the pan, some chicken broth, rice vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, a bag of cole slaw mix, 1 inch of fresh ginger grated, garlic, left over trimmed pork chops and mmm-mmmm ... lettuce wraps!!
I'm hoping this will work for me. I'm not expecting to drop 8-11 pounds in the induction phase, though.
And as for junk food -- let me tell you, working for Disney, it's *all* about the food. Currently down the hall there is half a birthday cake, Dunkin Donuts, pastries, etc.
If I can get us to stick to this for 6 months (with the occasionally "off" for birthdays, etc. -- then we'll do the induction phase again), I'm hoping to see some progress! I keep telling her this is not a quick fix. It's going to take time.

As for Disney World...I couldn't work there because then there wouldn't be anymore turkey legs to sell.
You work at the world? Oh, man! Jealous jealous jealous!
I'm guessing you've either done Atkins (I have, too) or know a lot about it because on SB it's not called induction.
I don't know what those are.
This was triggered because we went to costco to stock up on groceries and hubby bought a like 5lb bag of skittles. But I didn't eat any . Has anything like this happened to anyone else?
... like literally swimming through them like scrooge mcduck
I have a MAJOR peanut butter and gummy worms addiction. Skittles are good too. 
They are like pinapple frozen yogurt then with pineapple juice for the float
I have a confession to make, well not a confession just a embarassing thing. Last night I had a dream where I was absolutely pigging out on skittles (they are my favorite candy and have been since I can remember), like literally swimming through them like scrooge mcduck
I've had dreams where I ate so much I exploded (like Mr. Creerso on Monty Python's Meaning of Life).
