Well boo hoo!

I did not lose a darn thing this week as a matter fact I gain one pound!

Hmm! Where did that come from? Who knows, Water weight gain, I have been putting garlic salt in the 100 calorie popcorn bag, guess I really need to stop doing that and find something else. I AM PROBABLY RETAINNING WATER!!!!!

Oh well. I went and measure myself today. I lost an inch in the biceps, hips, chest and calf this time. two weeks ago it was the hips waist and thigh.

I often wonder if I drunk too much protein shakes, but I have stayed under my required calories all week.

That is it. Just gotta be water retention.

Oh well. I think I’ll try roller bladeing today. Maybe I am light enough for it. I tried my roller blades on in the kitchen yesterday. I skated around the kitchen, boy I miss these days.

Dry those tears, sweetie. You may be on to something about the water retention. Have you taken a look at your sodium intake over the past week or so? Higher amounts of sodium can cause wter retention...

On the other hand, since you're losing inches, perhaps your body is in a muscle-building phase? A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat (but you knew that, already ), so your body may just be in a redistribution phase.

Keep plugging away, dear. Stay true to your program. You can do it!

Rollerblading??? In the kitchen??? Yikes! I can just imagine the havoc I'd wreak if I were to try that!

Nope I dont have any room in my kitchen.......I really think I would hurt something..

I have not had a loss in 4 weeks BUT the inches keep falling off so you keep up the good work.....

You didn't succeed in losing weight... but you succeeded in making yourself a healthier and more active person! Be proud of that!

I was testing myself in the kitchen. Just making sure I still had the same balance and every thing.

Yep I still do. I took two rounds in my driveway and felt great. Guess I should kreep on down the park and just do a little bit more. I would like to skate a whole park though! Like I use to.

Hey FeistyRoo, I was feeling just the same this morning because I was up a pound too and it really bummed me out. Then I remembered all the soup I ate yesterday to help get rid of this sorethroat/cold I've got. Very high in sodium so I'm hoping that it really is just water retention. I did lose an inch in my midsection though and the "up 1 lb" motivated me to work out just a little harder that usual at the gym, so I guess it's not all bad.

Now you've got me thinking about learning to rollerblade....

Yea, I was still a bit bum all morning but the tape measure help me to hang on to some hope. I went out and worked out today, So I feel a little better.

Rollerblading is fun. I like it. Pretty good work out. I notice when I read about calorie burning doing roller blading it sure can burn some calories.
I skated on regular skates since I was a kid. Roller blading was pretty easy to learn. I have never ice skated though. I am thinking once I get down to 160 I'll try ice skating. I like roller blading better then regular skating. Roller blading is made for the pavement.

Speaking of water, which I now enjoy drinking more then soda's I went out and bought me a Brita faucet filtration system. My bottle water buying was getting rather pricey. I figure I can cut my price this away and so far I been able to drink my tap water with out gagging.
