Well YOH, when I do, I'll post a picture of myself in a short dress and 4" heels! 

Yep lady put that on your to do list!!! 

For me to wear heels, I would have to move elsewhere. I have a pile of beautiful heels I would wear in South Florida, here, there is nothing but dirt and sand to walk on, even wedge heels are dangerous to walk in. I had a pair of 2 inch rubber wedge flip flops...I damn near broke my ankle when a stump hole caved in under my foot!!!  

maybe the difference is, if my shoes start feeling tight on me, I just ignore it and wear them anyway. I wore nothing but cowboy boots till I was nearly 20 and I would get them wet and they would shrink when they dried, at nearly 80 bucks a pair back then, I would just stuff my feet into them and wear them anyway. Eventually they would stretch back out. So maybe my feet get bigger, I just keep stuffing my feet into size 10's and wear them till they die! LOL! 

My weight has went back down to the original weight I started off with this morning and I have peed off and on all day I don't feel bloated and have had breakfast and dinner and lunch with not much sodium levels today as I usually consuming but I am hoping that in the morning it will be down at least 3-4 pounds like it usually does.  

Best wishes on that Sara! I hope you see the results you are looking for! 

Woo hoo peed off and on all day and night and weight was back down to 337.2 this morning and most of the bloating is gone.  

👌👏👌👏👌👏 Great Job! How was your sleep???  

The sleep interruption due to peeing is very annoying. You may have already addressed this but do you stop drinking at a certain time? How about alcohol?Do you cut that out in your fasts? 

TJ, I stop intaking fluids at 7 pm along with stopping my intake of food by 7, it has really made a difference in my quality of sleep. Of course after the 2 cups of watermelon I had for dinner one night which was also consumed after 7, I started a fast and my day 2 nights sleep was totally disrupted by so many p breaks that I actually lost count. 5 or 6 maybe? My watch showed I got 5 hours of sleep between 10 pm and 5 am. I was pushing fluids out like I had taken a huge dose of Lasix. As far as alcohol, we don't drink, my hubby is a 21 year sober recovering alcoholic and to support him in his recovery, I also stopped drinking. Alcohol is the by-product of pure sugar and fruits, or grains. Hard liquor unmixed has no carbs, Wine has a little less than 1 carb per ounce, most beer is very carby. Most mixers are loaded with sugar. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver, the liver treats it like a toxin so it will use the energy provided by liquer quickly in an effort to remove it. Using alcohol during ketosis will intoxicate you more quickly and your hangover will be much worse. Most folks drinking on an empty stomach will attest to that one!! I don't do it myself, but I have seen testimony from folks who have and it's not pretty! I do not recommend.  

Sleep was good I still got up 3 or 4 times during the night which I have done for years now but I usually go back to sleep and then by 2-3am I'm wide awake and I've tried sleeping meds, melatonin and tons of other stuff I don't drink anything after 5pm unless I get dry mouth which I usually do during the night and evening. But I am so happy that the scale dropped down.  

I am too! I have read, and I have also experienced a few times what they call a Whoosh. It's said that when fueling your body with your own fat, the fat cells that are used up are kept open by filling them with water, in the event that they will be needed again to store fat. After some unknown amount of time, the body decides that the fat cells are no longer needed, they release the water and allow the fat cells to close and shrink. Thus producing the Whoosh. I have never really looked it up to see if there are studies on it so it may hold water, it may not (pun intended) But I have had long periods where I have no weight loss and no inches lost, then suddenly I am pouring fluids like a busted water pipe, weight drops and within a day or two, so do my measurements.
