flower I am feeling much better, thank you! I hope that the bloated feeling doesn't stick around for you for too long, I hate that!!

momtopands Thank you!!

I was perfectly on plan this weekend but the scale doesn't show it! I am thinking that maybe I didn't drink as much water as I thought.. oh well, still chugging along!

Up a bit but I think it is mostly water (at least I hope so). Saturday night I had popcorn which probably had a lot of sodium and then last night I had a personal size (small) pizza which was also quite salty. The pizza was vegetarian and had a super thin crust made out of rice flour. Calorie wise it was quite good but sodium wise not so great. I'm going to drink extra water today and hopefully my downward trend will start again soon. I've been doing lots of exercise.

Kfunk: congrats for staying on plan all weekend - awesome job and I'm sure the scale will show that soon:)

I've been drinking lots of water and my eating is on plan so I was a bit disappointed with such a tiny drop. However, I didn't do any exercise yesterday so I'm going to try to do the bike and treadmill today and see if I have a drop tomorrow.

Momtopands: nice drop

momtopands Way to go!

flower Hopefully adding in the bike and treadmill will help!!

Finally, I stopped gaining! That is frustrating because my food intake has been really good!! I did realize though that this is historically the week in my cycle where this is common for me, so that made me relax a bit!

Down a tiny bit for me today. I did the bike yesterday and I think it helps. I'm planning a long walk today.

kfunk: yeah on the downward trend. Your persistence will pay off and you will probably have a whoosh soon:)

flower Glad that the bike helped!! Good job on your walk! I bounced back up again, but am hoping that I will see some good results this week.

I hit my goal today and went past it by .2. I had a major whoosh. My weight hadn't moved much all week so I think it had been coming for awhile. I will start a new thread.

kfunk: I think you're due for a whoosh.
