Yay!!! I was worried when for almost 4 days the scale didn't budge *AT ALL* but then looking back at my net carbs I realized why (oops) :) Been below 35 net carbs since, and weight began coming off again. Also am goofily proud of me because I went out to eat last night for a business function at a great restaurant -the business menu includes two glasses of wine, appetizer, entree, and dessert -and they expect you to have all the courses as they are feeding the whole table course by course. This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants - their menu is full of insanely yummy things including these amazing potatoes deep fried in chicken fat (omg, right?). I only had one glass of wine, successfully avoided the potatoes (subbed in a broccoli slaw -which was better than i expected), ate scallops with cilantro pesto (healthy AND yummy) and had a few nuts and an aged goat cheese for my dessert course instead of their housemade devils food cake with chai icecream or their amazing creme brulee (ok, so that hurt a little). Managed to stay in ketosis despite the wine! And none of my colleagues even noticed i was dieting :) This morning i was rewarded by the scale saying i was under 130 for the first time in years (129.7 to be exact!) I rounded up, but assume by next week's weigh in I will be a stable 129 or maybe even 128 (fingers crossed). The BIG win will happen when my waist is back below 30". My waist started at 33" (medically obese according to my dr, given my bone structure) and am now at 31.5" --but would like to lose at least another 4 or 5" off of it (i'm asian and small boned, so that is why my goal weight and inches are so low for me to be considered a 'healthy' size). Enough babbling :) am just happy.
