Barb; First, please don't post in all caps. It's the equivalent of screaming at someone, and while I'm sure you're worried, please don't scream. If you think you're retaining water, you need to watch your sodium and drink plenty of water. Your body will retain water when it's worried you're not getting enough, so the best way to fix that is constantly be sipping. It's normal to have some bounceback weight of 5-10 lbs. So, I wouldn't worry about that too much. You say you don't think you're eating that much, but if you're not keeping a food diary, you don't know for sure. Anytime my weight loss stalls, I completely go back to basics. Focus on protein, water and exercise. Are you maybe letting carbs slip back into your diet? Are you exercising?
