Having lost 3st on LL last year, I 'achieved' a size 10/12 (10 on bottom and 12 on top - big boobs !) but since last January I have GROWN to a size 12/14 and I don't like it :cry:. Combination of bikkie-binges at work at about 4.00p.m. and then bottle of wine most evening to unwind. I know it's all wrong - no need to tell me that!
So now I am doing CD in the hope of getting back to where I was and so far so good. I have no idea what I currently weigh - because I dont want to know and so until I can squeeze back into my size 10 jeans I am going nowhere near a scales! (I know its cowardly and many of you will think of lots of great reasons why I should 'weigh in' but I know me and if I have gained much more than a stone in weight I will be driven to drink and buns! - so no scales for this possom).
Anyway apart from not weighing myself I am trying to recreate every other aspect of my earlier success - sticking rigidly to the diet, drinking water etc etc. I have also managed to get hold of some ketostix and they indicate that I have reached that Mecca that is ketosis and I am pleased.
What I would like to know is what 'colour' the stick should be to indicate that you are in just the right amount of ketosis? I know that it shouldn't be completely dark but which of the lower colours is best - or does it matter?
Thanks.
