Near tears

I am now officially UP five pounds. I hardly ate anything yesterday. Scrambled eggs, a roast beef wrap, a protein shake and a protein bar and a nectarine. Plus mowed the lawn. And my weight has gone up and up and up. HELP!.. I'm near tears. What's going on? nona

Oh Nona, How frustrating..I was on a plateau for weeks and got my body back in losing mode by adhereing to the following diet- http://www.digitalhorsewoman.com/plateaubusting.htm and upping my walking and drinking a TON of water- upwards of a 1/2 gallon, water was my only beverage for 3 days and boom, the weight started coming off... Good luck and focus on how far you've come so far- good luck girlfriend..

Hang in there! I was told that when your body takes in lots of water regularly, it will not retain any... Easier said than done... ~Jennifer

I don't know. What you ate sounds good to me. Are you drinking enough water? The only thing that I would do is NOT panic. A lot of things in life can be changed by a good positive attitude. You WILL lose the 5lbs. I will pray. I hate to think of you worrying and being upset. Allison

{{{Nona}}} I wish I could do more than send you a big hug. It sounds to me like you are doing the right things, just make sure you're getting in your water. Just a thought, how are the bowels? That would be a lot of weight to be carrying around in them, but it's possible. Lots of water would help with that, too. Hang in there, kiddo. We're here with you. Deb

Hi Nona! Don't fret it will come off and then it might come back on. I've been battling the same 5 pounds (up and down) for about 2 months now. Just don't starve yourself because then your body will definately hold onto the pounds. Just relax and don't panic, know that you are doing the right things. Jill
