Hi!
So...I expected to lose a bit b/c I drink so much water but I think I am pleasantly surprised to see that I am down 4 lbs almost overnight.

I know it is all water, but still, usually I only drop 2 lbs when I have restricted my calories before. I also know not to expect that loss in one night again LOL

My daily log: I will post a new thread with a link to here when I have reached a milestone

If not for that .8 GAIN yesterday...I would be IN ONEDERLAND! Sooo close. Tomorrow! I will have extra water today and maybe only protein, nothing else just like yesterday. Seemed to help.

Dr. S said we can omit anything except protein so I am going to do that until I am firmly set in onederland, maybe when I hit 196-197 or so to have a buffer LOL

cutting it out for a few days to see if that makes a difference. Hope it is not the asparagus! I am loving it pureed

Wonder is too much liquid Stevia can do this? I have been drinking iced tea for 4 or 5 days now, sweetened with liquid Stevia (sweet leaf brand so only Stevia) and did not think it could hurt?

Just curious...our bodies are amazing and it is so interesting to see what they like and do not like?

Maybe I need to work out a bit?

I have been taking it very very easy this week b/c of a really bad yeast infection that I let get out of hand, uhg. Did not recognize what it was for almost 10 days! It is almost gone now and when it is I will get back to small workouts.

Back to cabbage mostly! I seem to best with that

Dont work out...you can retain water that way.
Do you eat the melbas? Cutting those out can help.

[eCw56dzY]

I did not think of that...I need to get moving though so maybe I will just continue playing the Wii Fit and XBox connect games LOL At least they get the heart rate up! I stopped playing them when I got the infection but I should be OK once it is over...

So, do I need to wait until p3 to begin my workouts again? What about just lifting weights every other day if I don't go too heavy and don't do long reps?

Thanks!
