Any one want to be my WL Buddy???

[Bunnyg]

Ha, that's brilliant, if not a bit embarrassing! heehee!! why did you have a swimming cossie on underneath!?

Fantastic achievement though - think you better go and get a new skirt x

 

[GTPeach]

I had the swim on becuase my friend and I go swimming every Friday for exercise. So, right after work, I was going to our aquatic center, right across the road from where I work (okay, like 1/4 mile from where I work and across the road...). We'd meant to go the morning, before work, but it had been closed, so I just left it on for later.

Weird...

Number 1: I have just choked on my water...the water is trying to kill me!!!!

Number 2: When I was choking the taste of pure salt came into my mouth!!! What the hell?

Coincidently my chocolate shake tasted really salty today...veeeerrrrrryyyyy odd!!!

 

[GTPeach]

Gem - it's the ketonins. Ketosis tends to make your mouth very dry and salty. So think of it - when you taste salt, you taste SLIMNESS!

When it happened to me, it was bad. And afterwards, I got a blister or 2 on my tongue that hurt a couple days. After that, though, your mouth and body will adjust and you will be back to normal. I don't taste salt anymore, but still in ketosis!

 

[Elvira]

ah cool, that's reassuring then!
man i am so bored tonight!!! i can't seem to get motivated to do anything though

 

[GTPeach]

Poor thing! I've had those days. I usually get a good book and go out ofr a nice cup of tea somewhere.

 

[Elvira]

My boobs are looking more and more like deflated balloons everyday!!! This isn't fair! Why can't the weight come off my bum and tum first :cry:

Oh well, at least if I attempt jogging I won't knock myself out!

 

[GTPeach]

Don't worry gem - they'll come off! It's a rotten trick your body plays on you to get you to stop doing things it doesn't like - taking weight off where you don't want it off as much before it loses elsewhere.

I have this salty taste too but my ketostix say I am not in ketosis at all not even a little bit! My CDC even asked me what else I had eaten! errrr, that would be nothing then.

 

[GTPeach]

Oh, well done gem!!!

Angela - That's odd - it shouldn't be happening. Are you doing SS? And if so, are you adding anything to the soups and shakes? How much of the tea/coffee/coke zero are you drinking, and anything in those? And you have lost 5lbs - nice job!

 

[Angela1]

"Angela - That's odd - it shouldn't be happening. Are you doing SS? And if so, are you adding anything to the soups and shakes? How much of the tea/coffee/coke zero are you drinking, and anything in those? "

* SS + 200 calories of chicken/fish and 2 spoons of veg
* adding water
* 1/2 cup of black tea or coffee a day
* hate coke

 

[GTPeach]

Hmm.... maybe it's the way you're eating veggies/chicken? Are you cooking them a certain way, or buying pre-cooked?

Maybe it isn't odd, then. I've not done the SS+ - just the SS. So perhaps it just takes longer for your body to go into ketosis when you're eating "real food"?

 

[Angela1]

steamed only and everything is weighed. Apparently ketosis doesn't take longer because it is to do with dramatic calorie reduction, no carbs (and no cheese). Should be 5/6 days max.

 

[GTPeach]

I'm not sure then, sorry.
