I got my hair done after I lost 20 to make me feel like I was human again so I totally agree! 

Yay! Way to go :) 

Sounds like you are doing very well. That's great! Keep the diet faith! Good luck with it! 

Hi Warren, Trying to, sort of. .. So far, food intake has been on par with the program. Sounds like we both are chillin' on this Friday night! I keep cracking up seeing Trump!  

You might find this funny. I was driving to 99 Cent Store, and a lady was driving toward me on the wrong side of the road, and then inch by inch turns out of my path. I see that she is most likely Chinese. Now I am reading a Chinese lady flying for the first time, opens an emergency door on a plane looking for the restroom, dropping the plastic slide from the plane, which landed on someone's front porch. Passengers on the plane absolutely freaked out. Maybe driving and flying lessons are in need. 

Funny! Bad drivers?? You could have lost your life! I read somewhere that opening the air slide was a $70,000 fine (or was it $10,000 US dollars) I have to google it! 

Ok ok I just googled it, the fine was $16,000 and this guy opened the slide because he wanted to get off the plane faster... Guess where? Northwestern China! Hahaha!! 

The article said this was the second emergency door opening in China in the last two weeks. OMG! lol  

when i am in keto and that is almost always now...(my gauge is never hungry) my wife tells me my work out sweet and my breath smell different...i never noticed...my pee has a slight different smell that i can notice but it is not a foul or bad smell....has others noticed the same things. I chalk that up to fat burning up for energy... 

i color my hair ALL the time and do my nails and all kinds of girly stuff bc Im the only girl in house of 4 boys (on and off) and DH, so I totally agree... and I love that low carb buzz.. working on getting mine !  

I'm so with you @redgirl1974 and @smartygirlca. I polish my nails religiously and my daughters too. Even when I'm not feeling so pretty I can look down at my nails and hold them up and think to myself "Still look pretty!" I love being a girl :) 

Gotta do my nails today! Hehehe!!!  

Nice job on achieving ketosis, your cravings should start to subside over the next little while.  

Thanks Phil, I might add your straight up approach is what helped my determination, so thank you! 

To the girls- do you do your nails yourself? Salon? Gel? Acrylic? Or paint them from a bottle? 

I use the Sally Henson Miracle Gel. No light needed and it removes with regular nail polish. It's a bit pricey $9.99 for the color and the same for the top coat which is required BUT it sure does last. I polished my nails on Saturday night. Here we are a week later and I only have one small chip on my index finger. p.s. I work in healthcare and handwash my own dishes. Oh, oh, oh and did I mention that it dries like ridiculously fast?! I polish while I'm in my bed then lay down with my hands above the covers and go to sleep kinda fast! 

Ahhhh I've seen it at Target, heading there ASAP!! Hahaha... Thanks for the valuable info! Looking good from head to toe (literally) will help with weight loss! 

you're very welcome!
