Awe AFChick, it well could be the salt.

It does crazy things to the body. It's just as hard to gain 4.8 pounds of FAT as it is to lose it. It isn't all fat.
Can I brag? This isn't my official weigh in post because my partner does that for us, but I just had to say I lost 5.8 pounds this week!!

That's like a beginners diet loss!

And I am so not just beginning. I restricted carbs to get me moving again and apparently it worked.
