Almost There

I think my scale has it in for me because it hasn't moved for a month and I am just six pounds from being at a normal weight. Scales are very evil!!!!

Have you tried to shock your system with an all protein shake day?? I know when I've hit a slump that when I go back to basics I start to lose again. With it getting hotter are you getting enough water?? I had gone to a local amusement part and the next day I had gained 3lb. The reason was not enough water. At $3.00 a bottle I didn't get all of mine that day. Good Luck, Robin W

Join me today for an ALL WATER day. I'm doing it to cleanse my system...so if you haven't eaten yet, DON'T. Just down a gallon of water and see what happens. -102 lbs and 17 from goal.

Hi Renee I don't know about an all water day. I don't want my body to think it's starving and go into starvation mode where it holds on to everything I eat. That is how I gained my weight. I have found out that dieting is bad for us, but eating right is the way to lose properly. If the water thing works for you then have at it, but I am scared of falling into the same thing I did before surgery. ((((HUGS)))) Dawn

It basically flushes out my system. I don't do it often (maybe 3x's since surgery 7 months ago). It doesn't have a negative effect on my loss unless I do it for more than 24 hours, which I don't do. Today I am back to basics...protein, protein, protein and water!
