Could it be ....

Hello to everyone !   I have a question to ask .Is it possible to NOT lose any weight on the 2nd week of fasting ?  I weighed yesterday & I seemed to be up a pound , just  a minute ago I was down a pound BUT up from last week ....it makes me dissapointed  . I know its about shrinking the liver ...but I wanted to see a reward for all my hard work  & deprivation.  I do my real weigh in at TOPS on Tues morning ....then on the road again  to Bathurst.  I can't believe the time is finally here.3 days to go !!!

It is very possible that you are retaining fluid.  Make sure you are getting your water.  You could be dehydrated and your body may be holding fluid to compensate.  You need water on your fast, don't neglect your water intake.  1.5 to 2 litres a day.

My thoughts exactly! Make sure you are getting the water in. While you are fasting - the whole fluid balance of your body is changing - the body tries to grab on to salt and other things - and sometimes retains fluid in the process. You are doing great! Hang in there!

Thanks Ann and Mary ,  I really have backed off the water this week ... so you may be onto something here.   Thanks I will start drinking right away.   Thanks again BOTH of you !
I am barely hanging but still hanging .

I did not  lose any the 2nd week then comming on the end I lost 2 more bls.
I was all upset when I called to get my time. I only lost 10bls,They said that 8bls was good as it is not to lose it is to shrink your liver,As long as you don't  cheat you are good.
I lost 10befor and 13 after so Iam doing good as you should lose 1 to 2 bls a week.

It will be ok as some people lose alot and others don't  so as long as you don't cheat you will be good to go.

Drink alot of water that helps as I did not do that and Iam drinking more now and it it working.

Well, Blue   I must say that I did lose more than that but would have loved to lost a wee bit more to get rid of as much as I could ..  A persons body will only do what it will do . Like the gals above were saying , I slacked on the water all this week .  I get weighed on Tues. morning when I go to TOPS , so I will know for sure if I lost or gained. Thanks for your reply , all of them help .

Hey I go to TOPS too and love it. Actually, I am the leader. They are the most accepting weight loss group ever. It probably is gas or water weight. I lost 8lbs on my week of liquids. Load up on the protien powder shakes. Good luck with your next three days. Hand in there!

Hi Beaver... I am the WEIGHER  at our chapter.   Yes the program is fine & the rules are very up to date & easy to comply  with also what  is going on  in the world of WLS too.  Thanks for the luck !  Time is drawing neigh now for me !!  I am really really wanting something to eat or even a coffee BUT that consomme' is sounding even better.

I lost both weeks, but it was a lot more the first week.  Three days to go !!!!

What was your total weight loss ?  Oh.....getting the butterflies when I think of it !!!
