I am still in ketosis and still burning fat! I am averaging a little over 2 pounds loss per week. I can hardly wait to take my measurements next week!
DDHFree - I hope that your daughter and you are both feeling better now!1 -
Now my son is sick and daughter might be regressing. Just a sick household. I hope I am not next. My diet has gone to hell. I am not happy right now. But this is the Finish_No_Matter_What group. Therefore, I got up this morning and did both Wednesday and Friday workouts. Will get back on track with eating and just not look back but forward.

You guys are awesome! Thank you guys so much for the well wishes. I really needed the push. It was one heck of week. Both kids are much better now but I started coughing last night. However, I am going to keep on going and hope it's just a cough.
Mary, your weight loss is awesome! Keep it great work.
Cherrybomb, love your excitement! Consistency is key so keep it up.
Debrag, I did state that members for this group was closed but it's just not in me to turn someone away if we are doing something that you feel will help you. We only have a handful of people so I am good with adding another one. Unless another member objects, I say welcome aboard. Are you ladies okay with Debrag joining us?0 -

I'm on board.
[I'm still around everyone - and thanks for letting me in a while back.]
I'm [re?] starting Strong Curves today. My husband has agreed to also do a 12 week program (of his choosing) so that we can run it together and keep each other motivated!1 -
Debrag- welcome aboard!
Tiffany - awesome to have you here! Great that your husband is joining you!

Hi All!
Been absent from lifting for 2 weeks! I did have a great workout playing with some kids and doing some gardening over the weekend so I'm not completely useless! My leg is feeling much better and I have kept my diet right on plan, so I still feel like I am doing what I need to for my personal progress. I am going to be getting back to lifting this week but I am deloading squats quite a bit since Im sure they are causing my pain. I might just lift the bar and stick with that. The hubby and I are ttc, so the squats and having a strong core are things I'd like to focus on, as well as preventing any further sciatic issues.
My progress pictures are looking promising I am seeing some thinning out at my hips for sure. The scale has gone up a little from last week due to the wine and chocolate I had on Saturday, but I know that is just water and will fall off again in a day or two.
Im so impressed with you ladies keeping up the good work! You are all rockstars!

I woke up to .2lb loss this morning! The one thing I like about this way of eating is that for me I know I will be losing weight every week!
I am so excited to do our four week update and take my measurements on Friday!2 -
That is great Kirstie! I think it's great that we are all keeping going while listening to our bodies.
Congrats on the continuously loss Mary! I look forward to seeing both of your 4 week progress reports.1 -
Feeling kind of off my game today, and definitely cranky. Workout was ok, although I think I'll officially switch to 3x5, at least for squats, from here on out. Grinding out another two sets at these high weights takes forever and is really starting to feel like a grind.
Squats: 3x5 and 1x3 @ 135
Benchpress: 5x5 @ 70
Wretched rows: 5x5 @ 801 -
Amy- it might be time for a deload. That can regenerate you and help you make increases.0

I thought about that today, but it feels like I just did a deload a blink ago, since I was sick. SL app recommends one because I haven't hit 5x5 of 135, but I'm also really thinking about switching to 3x5 bc squats are taking foreeeeeever with the longer resting periods and having to psych myself up for another set. How often do people need to deload on SL? I'm still new to this so I don't really know what is normal.0 -

I know that the app automatically deloads if you don't increase a few times. He also suggests a week break now and then. You might want to watch his videos again.0 -

Wow, I just did not anticipate these awful sick days. Awoke yesterday and felt little not-so-well. Decided to do my best and workout.
Week: 8 Workout: 1
Squats 70 lbs 4x6
Benchpress 53 lbs 4x6
Afterwards, finished morning routine and went to work. Once I got there, I started to feel worse and worse. Eventually felt so spacey that I had to leave around 11:00. Made it home and got into bed. I knew then I'd gotten the flu from the kids. Slept off and on but eventually fell asleep at 6 pm and did not get up until 8 this morning. I was feverish and just sweated all night but also enjoyed the long rest. Awoke this morning and feel much better but I know I cannot do a workout.
I guess long story short, I need to take a couple days to get over this flu.
