Kelly - great job! WOW!!

I wish the weigh in was yesterday as I was 174! Phoooey! LOL

Have a great week everyone!

Don't ask. I've been slipping for a couple of weeks, and now I'm checking in to make sure I don't "slip" right off the weigh in list.

I'm with you.... wishing weigh in was yesterday. I was a pound lighter too!

Woo Hoo for you anyway! You're still down!

I'm scared to weight in today. I was 160 last night, with a full stomach of food...and I usually weight mid day on an empty stomach...but I was in the ER and received IV fluids, so I just know I'm going to be up today. Oh well. We'll see later.

Thank you!!!! And thanks Judy!!!!

I haven't not weighed yet today so I can't weighin yet...just wanted to bring down a new list with all the weighins.

Kellyanne! WTH? Why did you need to go to the ER for IV fluids? Please explain! I seriously hope that you are alright!!

Welcome Back Donnaliz!!

FYI- There is nothing stopping you all from using your weighin from Sunday or Saturday. I tend to use my Saturday weighin but not this week as I was out to dinner Friday night and had water weight gain, from too much salt, to get rid of.

A key to seeing a good low weighin 2 days in a row, is to not use food rewards when you see a good weight on the scale. This is something that I'm always working on with myself.

Judy - I was having the whole lightheaded / sharp pains in the head thing again. Which, i knew was from not eating enough over the weekend, though it was still worrisome. But, I went to get in the shower and as soon as I undressed, I saw little purple spots all over my body...the size of a mole, or larger freckle...but they were purple! Almost looked like bleeding under the skin. I freaked out and ran right to the ER. Before even running tests, the doc took one look at my urine and said, "You're in Ketoacedosis", which he explained I WANT if I'm trying to lose weight, but that this was way, way too much. Blood tests confirmed. I've elaborated further in my journal. He couldn't explain the purple dots. I have an appt. with my family doctor tomorrow, who will probably refer me to a dermatologist. All other blood tests came back clear (clotting, HIV, liver functions)...but they did confirm that my body is starving.

I dunno Judy ... I understand what you're saying but for me it would go against being honest with myself...ya know? Especially since it's date specific. It is what it is...whether it's Monday, Friday or any day. Although I do remember when I went to Weight Watchers years and years ago I hated Monday meetings -- I always wanted a Friday meeting. Maybe we can switch the weigh in days to Friday??

Its always your choice Gayle....I was trying to give all of you other options as we are all working hard at this and deserve to acknowledge the work.
If its better for you to weighin on Friday, then do that!!
But the point of not weighing in on Friday is to avoid the food rewards that can happen over the weekend.

I'm not a doctor, nurse, or anything else medically connected, but from what I know and have read, ketoacidosis is a life-threatening condition that occurs in Type 1 diabetics. Unless you're a Type 1 diabetic, most likely what you had was ketosis, which is non-life threatening. If your doctor told you that you had ketoacidosis, I would question why he/she thought so. Ketoacidosis that would occur in a non-diabetic is somewhat suspicious.

"Ketoacidosis is an extreme and uncontrolled form of ketosis, which is a normal response to prolonged fasting. In ketoacidosis, the body fails to adequately regulate ketone production causing such a severe accumulation of keto acids that the pH of the blood is substantially decreased.

Ketoacidosis is most common in untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus, when the liver breaks down fat and proteins in response to a perceived need for respiratory substrate. Prolonged alcoholism may lead to alcoholic ketoacidosis. Fasting leads to ketosis but not ketoacidosis."
