    HELP!! what does my the colour on my ketosis strip mean??

    What I meant was, there isn't a 'oooh am I in ketosis?' grey area lol. You're either in ketosis when you stick to the plan (whether its deeply or mildly!) or out of ketosis if you come off it!

    HELP!! what does my the colour on my ketosis strip mean??

    I thought what Starlight said was fact, not an opinion! My CDC told me not to bother with them as if I stick to the diet, I'm going to be in ketosis - there isn't a grey area!

    Excited and scared for weigh in tomorrow

    Mine is going to measure once a month so I can see a real difference! I don't feel any lighter at all, even though when you look at what mass a pound actually is, its hard to believe I can't see any differences! I feel tons better for drinking all the water though and not hungry at all :) xxx

    I'm fine in terms of the diet itself - it just sucks that I think I am going to get a really low loss this week - I have one extra day as my weigh in is on tuesday instead of monday. I have a feeling that I will be lucky to lose 2lbs! Stupid TOTM!!!! Feel like going back to bed to be honest...

    Well day 9 is over and done with - I say that but to be honest it's been awesome! Started off my day with a yummy maple and pecan porridge. This is definitely my favourite porridge! I make it with a little more water to make a ready break consistency. I then went to the gym, did 2000 metres...

    I'm not too sure to be honest! I think I will wait until the weigh in, see what the CDC says and go from there! I have had to chicken and an egg a couple of times after workouts, and they weren't all that tbh so I might just do SS for 12 weeks then move up to the next step. 1 week down ;) haha...
