Hiya Pixie,
as Mags has said if you test just after you've had a pack, this could be the reason your stick is not changing colour, as well as the sticks could be dodgy or the amount of water you're drinking. also some peeps stick for some reason never changes....
so long as you are sticking to the plan, which you are, don't worry, I know easier said than done, as we like the reassurance of the stick changing colour, but try not to get too hung up on them...
Chin up hun

Even if the sticks are fine, and you are having only packs and plain water....it would just be your body!! Look at FatFairNForty(ish) - she has stuck to it rigidly but sometimes her losses go a bit weird, they tend to catch up though!! don't stress!!!
thanks guys!
I might try and get some sticks myself tmo...anyone know where I can get them?
Re the eating food[oacks I did just have a bar before I went last night but when I tested sat and the stick didnt change I hadn't eaten anything or drunk anything since the night before....If I knew why I could fix it
The bit about air is interesting tho, I did test there and then but the lid was off the pack and the loo seat was up (typical eh? there was a mens LL group there at the time!In their 2nd week funny enough when I left ketosis according to the sticks!) so maybe they have left the top off before and that has made the sticks dodgey?
Hmmmm interesting theory!
Men eh?
Oh p.s done nothing differently no diet coke or lemons chewing gum etc....
I got some of the internet...just type in ketostix and up they come...you can get them from chemists pparently but I had trouble getting hold of them as they apparently dont stock them & got a lecture from the chemist which really P^^^^me off- fail to see why I should justify my decisions to some prat who knows nothing about me!!

Hi guys,
Really gutted, I bought some more ketostix and re tested this morning, still didnt change colour
I can't think what it might be but I'm ready to give up.
Pix do you feel that you're not in ketosis or is it just the sticks that are making you believe your not. Just that I never show as pregnant when I pee on a pregnancy test even when I am .... don't know why, I just don't. Just wondering if it could just be something like that.

Well...I usually show when I am in ketosis but I am freezing...
If you're freezing and you're not starving I'd personally say that you are in ketosis and that your body is just playing silly beggars

I agree with Cath, and if your losses don't return to your normal level at your next class have a word with your LLC, maybe she can offer an explanation.

Exactly - give it the week, talk to your LLC - it could be that you will have a huge loss this week! I know I was only 1lb at the LLC a while back and the following week lost 5lb, doing absolutely nothing differently.
The sticks are just sticks. Please don't get hung up on them - we're not in a competition to be in ketosis, we're on a mission to be thin.

Goal 1: Get to 13st for end of Oct
Goal 2: 12 st for show week end Nov - come and see Super!
Goal 3: 11.5st for Christmas
Pixie, don't give up! I read an article somewhere online when it said that the ketostix are not always accurate, so don't be disheartened just because they're not changing colour on you!
If you're feeling like you are in ketosis, you probably are & it might just be your body having a bad week...
August Bank Hol Challenge
Aim - 35 (31lb down, 4lb and 2 weeks to go...)
Mini Goals:
1. Lose my first 1st - DONE (wk 2)
2. Get into size 18's - DONE (wk 2)
3. Get below 15 stone - DONE (wk7)
4. Lose 2 stone - DONE (wk8)
5. BMI less than 30

8. Get into size 14's
19 Get below 13 stone

Come on now - giving up just cos a sticks the wrong color?!! Just hand in there & it'll all sort out! Think of it logically - if you're sticking to the plan, drinking the 4l of water & not cheatin your body cycle is probably just a bit off (mine is currently making an official complaint! its day 2 hungry!) so just keep at it & things will settle. Having come so far do you really want to give up for the sake of a silly stick? Nah! Course you dont! Big hugs!
