Long story here, sorry for being so absent lately!
On Sunday last week I went out with my sister to get celebratory sushi. It threw me out of ketosis. Although I got back in the rhythm of things immediately the next day I've kind of flopped and stalled for three reasons:
1. I'm 16lbs away from my goal so the loss has significantly slowed down considering I'm becoming a lot leaner.
2. I had a flare up (You can guess for what... happens every time I drop significant weight) due to being constipated (hello coffee, my regular friend) and it's prevented me from being active and working out due to the pain.
3. I've been drinking an insane amount of liquids due to the constipation which has also caused me to start retaining water.
Well, at least I'm not gaining. I haven't done damage, and I'm so close to my goal that I'm not even discouraged. I'll keep doing the right thing. Thumbs up! In the meantime, coffee to stay regular, lots of water, MORE SALADS (jeez, you'd think I was a rabbit) and a slight increase in my caloric intake because 800-900 cal is not sustainable. I've bulked it to about 1100-1200 a day which probably also slowed the process down.

You seem to be doing all the right things and I admire your grit and determination. I eat loads of fruit to keep my digestive system healthy. I'm addicted to apples pairs plums and nectarines. I eat Salads nearly every lunch time and managing to keep my target weight of 180lbs. Good luck with your goals. You will achieve them!!!! Regards Jim

Warren, I have never thought of 13 as a bad number ever! Hahaha! 3DGuy, I will try to up my fat intake see if it helps. Thank you! Jimporter, I try to eat salads too, it's natural fiber and I don't nearly have enough vegetables in my diet. Atkins highly recommends eating leafy greens with all your meals so it's a must for me. hyperP, unfortunately though, I do work out a lot (up until this) and I do eat salads because it's what's outlined in my diet plans. I tend to have them 2-3 times a week, otherwise all I would be eating is protein and I dislike being completely sedentary because it's not good for the heart!
