Told ya you would feel better

J'Bo · 10-13-2003, 09:22 AM

you can have a tomato instead of a piece of fruit.

**Jodi** · 10-13-2003, 09:23 AM

I wouldn't suggest the tomato, the fructose is for liver glycogen and I don't believe tomato would do the same.

J'Bo · 10-13-2003, 09:24 AM

really? i heard that the tomato is a great substitute for a piece of fruit.

**Jodi** · 10-13-2003, 09:27 AM

I just looked it up and its mainly glucose not fructose. I would stick with the fruit.

Jenny · 10-13-2003, 10:11 AM

Thanks Jodi

Still need to get rid of some bloating, but I am feeling much better

I didn't mean tomatoe like a carb source to replace fruit, I meant as a veggie. But, I'm not allowed this on no carb days I guess since it's got quite a bit of carbs. Right?

**Jodi** · 10-13-2003, 10:28 AM

Yes it does and its high in sugar.

Jenny............Yesterday was a high carb day. Remember!!! Your not fatter your just holding water from the carbs. Tomorrow you will be back to normal. Always remember the day after High Carb day YOU WILL BE BLOATED!!!

J'Bo · 10-15-2003, 10:14 AM

jenny hun you have to deal with the minor ups and downs on the carb cycling...it is designed to train your metabolism to speed up and get all confused and so you are bound to be up and down for a while hun. it takes time and if you were making quick losses then it wouldnt be permenant good losses.

Jenny · 10-15-2003, 04:59 PM

It's not just bloat, I have gained some fat too. Monday night, after 2 no carb days they were tight too. I'm sticking to the program, but I am scared as heck.

Had this welcoming dinner in school tonight with an italian buffet. Had some chicken and veggies

and a glass of wine that came with it

Then we went to the student pub/nightclub (it's every wednesday and every other saturday) and I had a smirnoff ice. I know, sugar.. Danced for two hours straight though. Next time I'm not having any at all.

J'Bo · 10-15-2003, 06:11 PM

isnt tight good

nikegurl · 10-15-2003, 06:39 PM

i think she means her pants are fitting tightly.

hang in there jenny!

**Jodi** · 10-15-2003, 06:53 PM

Jenny, I doubt you gained any fat. Do some measurements hon, I bet you will start seeing results that way.

Besides didn't Justin say he saw changes?

J'Bo · 10-15-2003, 08:43 PM

her pants arent tight

she is just washing everything in hot water

sorry hun trying to make light of the situation.

take some pics for me and pm me them and i will see if you have made any changes.

Jenny · 10-15-2003, 11:59 PM

Did measurments, hips, waist and thighs are all up 1-1.5 centimetres. The rest is the same.

Can't take any pics for you J'Bo, digicam is with parents at the canaries.

Something isn't working!

Jenny · 10-16-2003, 01:12 AM

I've had enough of this. I've been patient and have been sticking to the program. Still no loss, but a GAIN!!
Feel like just starving myself and do cardio 2 times a day instead, at least I know that works!

Damnit, I hate feeling like this!!

Jenny, take these measurement and on the same type of day (meaning on low carb day or no carb day whatever day it was today that you took the measurements) next week, take your measurements again. Make sure it done on the same type of day.

DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF AND DO NOT OVERDO THE CARDIO

The initial drop of cardio may have something to do with this but in a good way, not a bad way. Your body has to get use to the changes. Don't give up honey and don't stress. I'm serious, I know the frustration, believe me, I know. My body is extremely stubborn at letting go of the fat but the above is not an option. You'll get there. It takes time and its not an overnight process. Your body is fluctuating, as it is suppose to on this plan. Have faith.

Jenny · 10-16-2003, 04:07 AM

Thank you Jodi.. I am TRYING really hard to have faith, but the body is sooo not working with me

Okay, in a good way, need to remember that.. I'll give it a few more weeks..

I don't know what I'd do without you Jodi, thanks
